Frequently asked questions

How does outbound work for a broadly positioned consulting firm?+

It works best when the message narrows to one specific problem the firm solves. Sharper targeting and a concrete client result cut through where broad consulting positioning would otherwise dilute the outreach.

Is cold calling more effective than cold email?+

Neither wins on its own. Phone reaches buyers who ignore email and email reaches buyers who never pick up. A coordinated program uses both against the same target list.
