Why waste your time?Salespeople spend fewer than 45% of the

time actually selling; with the remainder devoted to administrative tasks and preparation.

Improving lead management processes can reduce the time required to source opportunities by up to 50%

For every 1% you increase direct dial percentage you will set 2.06 more meetings a week

Every time you double the number of direct dial phone numbers you have you will triple the number of meetings you set.

A study conducted by InsideSales.com and Vorsight, found that the rule of thumb on direct dials are as follows:

Why do Direct Lines work?Caller ID looks different

Allows you to route around an admin or receptionist

Many companies do no have an after hours dial-by-name directory

Speed- you’re much more efficient with direct dials

DiscoverOrg provides you with 92% direct dial phone numbers.

Call Heather, when Heather answers use a variation of “Hi Heather, I just reached out to Gerald and I wanted to include you in on the conversation as well.” (or leave a voice message with the same intro)
