In order to set just one appointment, an average outbound salesperson needs to make 8 dials per hour and prospect for almost 6.5 hours. This doesn’t seem like a very efficient use of their time, right? Time is money when it comes to sales, and manual prospecting often generates more losses than revenue. Nevertheless, prospecting is an important source of leads for most businesses. Luckily, there are lots of tools designed to improve this process while reducing man hours and money spent through automation.
