Is it just me or are more prospects picking up the phone lately?

Has anyone else noticed an uptick lately on DM's answering your cold calls? Maybe it's just because Zoominfo has a lot more cell data on it now but for real it seems like I'm having a much easier time getting Directors and VP's on the horn (especially when I call their cell on lunch, which I highly recommend because when they say "I'm eating lunch" you can respond "Oh, sorry about that, let's setup a meeting for next week then"

I also love making cold calls on speaker phone (I call this "Big timing them") hahaha.

What are the rest of you savages noticing on cold call hit rates? PEACE LOVE. -TRPD

People are now starting to return to the office and the covid decision making paralysis is starting to wane.

This is true, more American companies are back in office so it might be the sweet spot for July when everyone takes off on vacay again

I’ve noticed an uptick in people answering cold calls over the last month. Also noticed emails aren’t doing as well. Could just be a odd month but most of my meetings have booked from phone calls and LinkedIn

More companies also are forwarding their phone lines to cell since the pandemic started so I am noticing an uptick

For HQ numbers im still finding that its really a hit or miss depending if the employees are still remote or not. With that being said, direct lines have been on fire
