Outbound for Inbound Driven Companies
Introduction Cold calling is dead, right? So why do all major global SaaS players still bother to do it and drive most of their revenue via Outbound sales? You have gotten your first million in ARR through inbound marketing, so why change a winning system? Because how you got to where you are right now, will not get you to the next level. Amsterdam’s SaaS ecosystem is reaching early maturity, which brings along challenges of its own. Innovators and early adopters are easily convinced of your product, but to keep growing you need to tap into other markets where more money can be earned. These markets can be served well by your product, but are unaware that they have a problem in the first place. Time for getting in touch with your leads and make them aware of the chance that they are missing. Outbound sales is not dirty, but a fine-tuned awareness creation tactic that puts relevance for the recipient at first place. In this course, we want to change the minds of CEOs, sales managers and sales reps to open up to the possibilities that outbound sales entails and show how to reap the fruits of fine-tuned outreaches. Who is talking? Tom van Berkel (CCO at Easygenerator, ex-google & ex-salesforce) that grew his company to multiple million dollar recurring revenues by focussing on Outbound and Nils Brosch, (ex. CCO at Recruitee, Founder at ‘SaaS Collective’ and Commercial Consultant for SaaS companies). What to expect: The course will address fears and doubts head-on and deliver practical, take-home-and-implement knowledge for all attendees.
