Cold calling cadence
Hey Pipedrive fam,
With cold leads, I put clients in an
- email cadence
- sms cadence
- cold calling cadence
I have been using klenty for the email cadence, and zapier/kixie for the sms cadence.
What is the best way to set them up for a calling cadence of every two days for 45 days, excluding weekends? I use Kixie.com for my phone

I actually give people 3 days before I call
- Call on day 3
- 2 email in a week
- call 3 days after that

How do you get pipe drive to push these notifications to you so that it is notifying you when to call and email follow up with these people? Is there anyway to train pipe drive to send you a email notification in the morning that one of your activities is due that day? How do you set activity reminders with in Pipedrive that are not just passive and show up as a past due activity?
Thanks,
George

Ralph,
I have been using outreach.io for my sales teams and their outreach cadence. Outreach.io doesn't integrate with Pipedrive but I recently came across Outplay that does integrate with outreach and is doing the same as outreach.
Happy Selling,
Daniel

Hey Ralph,
Thank you for sharing a bit of your process. What are the results so far with SMS? and how different is the message there? (length, CTA, etc).
Other than email cadence and phone (whenever I have the phone), I've also been using Linkedin resources to reach out to prospects as well. Anyone using Linkedin too?

George, if you are sending emails individually it's easy because you can mark activity and add a due date . You can also make an excel sheet with a colom ad putt the due date in their. The example spreadsheet in Pipedrive has helped me a lot

I am using LinkedIn a bit but don't really have much success with it

We've been using Textline for SMS follow up. Anyone else using this solution? It works fine but I am wondering if there is a more effective solution

I reach out 10 times before I move on. I mix it up with an email and a call every 2 days.
After the 10th outreach, I give it a break for a month. I've noticed during that time people check out my webpage and linked in page and start answering my calls during the second month.

Wait, you want to call them every 2 days for 45 days? Did I read that right?
Yes. I end up hitting them 10-12 times before moving on. I am looking for a yes or a no. These are leads that based on activity, we know that they can use our service.

I agree. With everything that a prospect is being hit with, its hard to get through the noise

I've also been using LinkedIn, a couple strategies with limited success. I find people are more likely to connect (if we have a reason to connect) than respond to InMail (sample size about 100 attempts so far). I figure at least if we are connected they will see my updates as well. It's helpful to know they are in the correct decision maker role but hard to get a response. Does anyone else have any success to share with LinkedIn for cold contact? Thanks!

I find a LinkedIn connection is a good signal if I'm not getting any engagement through email and phone. I imagine they are saying "I like you and you're providing value, but I'm not ready to chat with you yet."

That is what I would like to believe as well, @Dennis Powers ! Thanks for this feedback.

Hmm. I'm not sure being the noisiest is the best approach.

What percentage of those who you hit unsuccessfully 10 times then later convert?

LinkedIn isn't a selling tool, it's an information tool. Nobody responds to InMail, sales messages immediately following connection acceptance will likely get you blocked, self promoting posts get scrolled past, motivational quotes get scrolled past. Posting interesting content that engages people will get you connections. Not sales. Connections. Converting connections into sales requires a massive number of connections because the conversion rate is so low.
Use LinkedIn to find out who is who. Then connect with them in the real world (that's where commerce happens).

I would never do as you describe there @Kurt Jones . I take LinkedIn very seriously and LinkedIn connections are precious. I've been around long enough to see too many watering holes get poisoned through irresponsible sales and marketing tactics.
I only do personalized connection requests through a message to contacts that I consider warm through my outreach. They'll know who I am, and if I have provided value through my outreach thus far, they'll accept, and I'll understand if some don't.
I treat connection requests like I would like to receive them, and I try to provide value at every touchpoint.
