How To Engage With More Prospects Through Ebsta’s Cadences

Reaching out to your prospects can be pretty tricky. It’s hard to make yourself heard through all of the noise. Similarly, it’s expected that the average number of sent and received business emails per person a day is 121, which means that people are swamped with emails.

Needless to say, salespeople have a really hard time trying to reach their target audiences and be noticed. We all know that first impressions are the most lasting, but this doesn’t mean that once you manage to capture your prospects’ attention, you can rest on your laurels.

Automate your outreach

Automating sales outreach is a must as it allows you not only to maintain regular contact with your customers but also to take advantage of various metrics. It takes 6-8 attempts to reach a prospect, and yet 44% of salespeople give up after the first attempt. The process of following up with every Lead and Opportunity can be extremely time consuming and overwhelming as the to-do lists build-up, so it’s no wonder many fail after just one touchpoint.

That’s where Ebsta’s automation software helps to streamline your outreach; ensuring you never miss a follow-up again and can improve the effectiveness of your activity with intelligent insights.

What is an Ebsta Cadence?

How to use Ebsta Cadences?
