I tried looking for one in the search bar and didn't find it. I'll go share some love right now!

I usually don't but sometimes it might be worth the risk.

No marketing, mayo isn't an MQL
Depends on the willingness of the prospect to engage and the company you work for. 

Unlikely to work for the FAANG Bois but below those it can do well.

It totally depends on the context of the outreach. I would say it's probably best not to include any links for deliverability purposes

I don’t for fear of getting caught in spam folders. I use them in my secondary touches though.

I do on 2nd and 3rd touches or I attach a file to provide additional context or thought leadership material

Yes. I need to understand prospect engagement (use SalesLoft).

it’s extremely strategic to word the hyperlink in a way that can understand the nature of prospect engagement

If automated, no. Some companies have a spam filter built in.

Not on first touch. Great way to get stuck in spam or blocked as people are always looking for phish tests now.

I typically don’t but I think I might add a Calendly link in my signature. Any one have success with this?

Always a one-pager or link to relevant webinar for their needs.

We're so niche that education is our best selling tool.

we have pretty much the same setup, but I use audiotechnica for the headset because I don't like pre-amped headphones.
