Cold emails are unsolicited emails sent to previously uncontacted recipients. The term has a bad reputation. To many, cold emails are synonymous with spam and a nuisance—one reason why U.S. workers spend 3.2 hours checking their work email each day. Why would anyone want to use cold email? Because, when done well, it can work. Cold email is not a replacement for inbound methods but a supplement—a way to drive near-term growth while inbound campaigns gain traction.

The average salesperson is losing up to 40% of their deals because they’re not following-up effectively. After a sales meeting, do you ever experience a prospect ‘going dark’ on you?

And then you send 2-3 follow-ups…but no response.

Over the past few months I've been coaching 30 sales leaders from 3 companies and while most are trying their hardest to do everything I recommend, apply everything they learn, and coach as instructed, there are enough that don't follow through and fail to move the needle for their teams. A few don't want to be coached. A few don't think they need to be coached.

My transition into a BDR role at InsightSquared came shortly after spending my first few post-grad years gaining experience in a highly transactional, customer-facing sales role. If you’re late to the game like I was, life as a BDR is one hell of a grind. That’s not a gripe, either. It’s a fact. Believe it or not, the grind is the reason why I love my job.

As sales professionals we face an intriguing paradox. We know, for complex B2B buying, the buyer’s journey can best be described as chaotic. What we have always believed is a linear process–identify a challenge, commit to change, define the problem/needs, evaluate alternatives, select a solution, turns out to be chaotic, as illustrated by the picture below.

My friend Tom at Bottomline Technologies was running a sales team making thousands of phone calls a week. Despite all their best efforts, his sales reps were only connecting with prospects 3% of the time. The other 97% of the time, they had no choice but to leave a voicemail. In a typical week those voicemails could generate a grand total of one returned call each day.

I spend too much of my life on planes. The other day was a rough flight, it was typical winter storms. I’ve become immune to the occasional shaking, even the captain suspending service for a few minutes. But this flight caused me to pause. We hit a pocket, it seemed like we dropped 100 plus feet. The bouncing was worse than I experienced. We hit a few more pockets, a few of the overhead bins popped open, I could hear carts crashing in the galley.
