Today’s episode is brought to you by Apollo.io.
If you share a pipeline goal with your sales team, then you care about the deliverability rate of your team’s outbound emails.
No email visibility means no meetings.
This is the “silent nightmare” for marketers. You often don’t even know this is happening.
And the most common cause of it? It’s actually an easy one to fix: you’re not using the right tool.
That’s why 100s of marketers at companies like Mutiny are switching to Apollo.io. Apollo has every tool you need to power your entire outbound and inbound motions (yes that’s right, I said inbound emails too, ask their team about it).
Marketers using Apollo have seen outbound email deliverability jump from 62% to 98% after making the switch. 98%! That means more replies, more meetings, and of course, more pipeline.
Want to see what type of results you can get? Head over to apollo.io/e5 right now and book a meeting with their team to get set up. And as a thank you for your time, you will receive a free annual exit five membership, that's valued at $275.
