1054: Proactive Outbound Prospecting, with Eric Quanstrom

Eric Quanstrom (CMO at Cience) is a leading expert on proactive outbound prospecting. On today's episode we talk about the business of lead generation outsourcing, in particular sales development. However, we approach it from a different angle. With the rise of specialized sales companies with highly developed expertise, such as Cience, Eric and I dig into whether sales really needs to be a core competency of a company that develops and sells a product or service. Or should a product company leave that to a sales company who are the experts? We also explore the many lessons that Cience has learned (from scaling to hundreds of SDRs) about how to more effectively hire, onboard and manage the sales development process.
