Clip from Episode 42: Sam Silverman – Top SDR at Outreach.io:
So for me the typical sequence is a personalized first e-mail and then we’ll have two or three bumps to it. So it’s like hey Scott see my last e-mail when would be best for us to connect. But it’s a smaller e-mail so that if you’re opening on your phone that first e-mail it’s in a reply thread still pops up there. So these are all just hypothetical numbers. Let’s say my first email gets replied to at a 5 percent rate and then each of the 3 emails after there are 3 percent. That’s basically giving that same email a 14 percent reply rate instead of a 5 percent reply rate because people we’re targeting are they head up teams the head up entire sales divisions. They’re probably running around the office like crazy trying to get stuff done so getting them at the exact time when they’re opening their phone or open their computer to respond to email is extremely tough and it just a lot that’s luck as well so if they can see it three or four times instead of just one. Trickled in with a bunch of calls. It gives you a far better chance of getting that person at the right time.
