TRANSFORMING MOMENTS

NANCY: RIGHT SIZE YOUR LEADS

“I was on the phone with a client earlier, and one of his accounts wanted to stop his program because he was getting too many leads. Well, I say, ‘Then hire more people, so you don't do it’. I guess it's a balance, you need to know how many leads you can handle and handle them well, that's the key.”

NANCY: DIFFERENT INDUSTRY, DIFFERENT RAMP-UP PERIOD

“The larger the company, the longer it takes to get the attention of a decision-maker. That's just the reality. So when you go into a call campaign, you have to look at all of those factors to set reasonable expectations. Unfortunately, a lot of people give cold calling a bad rep, ‘Oh, it doesn't work. It doesn't work.’ And the reality is, it does work, but every vertical or industry has a different ramp-up period.”
