Problem
Let’s say you take your time to prepare and schedule new leads into a personalised email sequence. The technology, independently of the sales tools you’re using, still needs to ‘guess’ the emails before sending them. You might only be able to reach 25 out of the 30 prospects you were targeting, depending entirely on the number of emails provided by the sales tool you’re using. Not only does this get in the way of contacting all your target personas and companies, plus your sequence does not reach its full capacity, leaving some ‘free spots‘.
Solution
There’s where we come in! As an Outbound Sales Agency, we're on top of the latest sales technologies. So, we rely on and implement powerful tools such as Apollo to overcome the bounced emails challenge. By leveraging Apollo Plays, we can automatically set up a feature that allows you to replace a lead that bounced (no email found) with the next on your target list. You don’t need to worry anymore about those 5 prospects you missed out on because now, they will be replaced by new (and better!) ones.
