Hi GitBook Team,
We wanted to provide a quick update on our cold calling efforts for the "GitBook Cyber Tech Write Titles" sequence. We completed 74 dials, resulting in 4 connects. Of those connects, we had 2 conversations, but we haven't booked any meetings yet. The primary outcome was 'no answer', indicating a challenge in reaching prospects directly.
We're observing that many prospects are not available by phone or are reluctant to engage in lengthy discussions during an initial cold call. One prospect specifically requested more information via email, highlighting a preference for a 'paper trail' over immediate phone discussions. This offers insight into how future outreach might be received.
Looking ahead, we're planning to address these observations by refining our targeting, adjusting our call scripts for brevity and impact, and developing more effective follow-up emails. We believe these adjustments, combined with a potential multi-channel approach, will help improve our engagement rates. We'll be in touch to discuss these strategies and how we can best collaborate moving forward.
