Leadgenius runs outbound sales at scale for some of Silicon Valley’s fastest-growing companies.
• LeadGenius runs a team of 700 virtual outbound sales development reps working from home to support sales teams at lots of fast-growth companies.

The inside view of lead generation and outbound processes.
• We’ve had an inside look at how hundreds of companies have set up their lead generation and outbound processes.• Both startups and enterprise• 1-person operations to 200-SDR powerhouses• In many cases, we helped them build their processes along
the way
• You can do stuff that doesn’t scale to grab leads…• … I’ll show you how to make it work at large scale.• We eat our own dogfood.
![Page 5: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What I’ll share with you tonight:
• What’s working and what’s not in outbound sales models in Silicon Valley
• How you can apply what works yourself as an individual rep
• How you can scale these out as a founder or sales leader
• Strategies you can use to:— source hundreds of leads / week for yourself on the cheap, using either software (free or paid) or virtual staffers (paid)— pitch and engage with 50-100 customers per day, automatically and convincingly–– repeatably generate consistent sales from virtual outbound, either solo or with a marketing team

Leadgen + SDR + Outbound: The Model
![Page 7: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Once you’ve found product-market fit,the only acceptable limits on your sales growth are:
* How fast you can hire top talent. * How fast you can fill your funnel with leads.
![Page 8: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The way “filling your funnel” used to go was like this:
• Marketing buys a giant list of names, emails and phone numbers
• Sales director hires a huge, cheap, and hungry sales staff
• Sales team works their way down that lead list with cold calls
![Page 9: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Filling your funnel this way doesn’t fuel the fire.
• Random cold prospecting against a marketing list works occasionally and keeps sales busy …
• … but more often, teams waste time on bad leads and end up unhappy.

Typical list results
• Marketing buys a list of 50,000 names, emails, and phone numbers at 50¢ per lead, and passes over to sales, spending $25K.
![Page 11: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

This is a bad approach, and a common approach!
How common?• Time studies found that just 33% of all sales people’s time is
spent on actual selling. The rest is spent on data entry, research and busywork. - ToutApp
The best salespeople (and sales teams) figure out ways – with or without help – to aggressively minimize time spent on:
• Prospecting• Data Entry• Research• Cold-calling unqualified leads
![Page 16: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Alternatives: SDRs growing more powerful with technology
Sales Development Representatives
• Specialized market response reps• Outbound prospectors• Specialized lead development reps
![Page 17: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What’s better: hyper-targeted lead generation• Construct targeted lists of leads at
scale.Find and rank every potential qualified customer in an entire market (with no engineering help!)
• Learn their pain.Figure out relevant data aboutevery one of those customers
• Pitch at scale.Write each one of those customers a targeted, personal message from a salesperson

Getting that information out.
The free tools Kimono and Import.io allow you to grab structured lists of people out of any website.
You can research information about each of those leads using services like Rapportive and BuiltWith.
Capture the basics to start: title, name, contact data.After that, try to winnow that list down.

Enriching Leads
![Page 37: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
First, verify that the data’s good!
• Rapportive• Toofr• kickbox.io• Briteverify• Eloqua
![Page 38: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Next, check whether they’re in the target market.
• Extra pieces of information• Company size, subindustry, • Specialized qualification criteria:
— if selling to hospitals, check the number of beds — was a decision maker hired recently? are they hiring for
roles that would use your products? — solar leads – check Google Maps to see if they’re sun-
friendly
![Page 39: Outbound Sales At Scale - Anand Kulkarni, Chief Scientist @LeadGenius](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/587a9c6e1a28ab09758b612f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Last, add relevant content to help you close the deal.
• LinkedIn connections – who do you know in common?• Social media activity – have they complained about your
competitors?• Product usage – what are these folks using?• Coworkers – who else works there on their team?
