We gauge this in a number of ways. First, we start by evaluating the number of dials made. Then, we break down looking at number of connections made, number of conversations started, and then finally number of meetings booked. The most important is call-to-meeting conversion, but that’s only a piece of the puzzle and each of the other metrics are followed/tracked carefully to ensure the best conversions possible from the very start of the engagement.

Primarily, cold callers are using Phoneburner, which is a 1:1 power dialer. By utilizing this advanced technology, our cold callers can make up to 400 dials every single day, which is over 4x the output of an average internal sales development rep. Our strategists also provide them with lists built using some of the best data available like ZoomInfo / DiscoverOrg and Apollo, which not only includes phone numbers for office and direct dial, but also mobile numbers!

While this varies depending on the size of each clients total addressable market (which we create for free for each client during onboarding!), the average outbound cadence consists of 5 dials, and 1-2 voicemails. The callers will also follow-up their voicemails with an email to help increase conversion rates. This cadence results in the highest conversion rates of any channel.

Our cold callers are dedicated to either 1 or 2 clients max, depending on which package you choose. Our Growth package includes a cold caller that is working with only 1 other client, and their time is split evenly between both. If you decide you want B2B cold calling services dedicated to your account full-time, the CRUSH package is exactly what you’re looking for. You can also add additional callers if you would like to scale beyond a single rep!

Our callers can typically make 150 – 200 dials per day on a part time basis, and 300 – 400 dials per day on a full-time basis. That’s an incredible number when you consider the average SDR only makes ~40 dials per day.

Our callers go through an intensive training not only when they onboard to SalesHive, but also when they are assigned to a client. Initially, callers will go through an initial SalesHive Certified cold calling training program and do outreach for SalesHive to analyze their ability to book qualified meetings. Once the callers are hitting quota, they are assigned a client to work with and receive weekly 1-1 coachings from their manager by reviewing call recordings and results.

Our cold callers are fully remote and located across the U.S. — we never offshore this incredibly important role to ensure the highest quality of outreach services for all of our B2B clients. Having a fully remote workforce around the U.S. also ensures we can source and hire the most talented reps without worrying about geographic location.
