Cold Call Pick Up Rates

Our team did a fantastic job of pulling data after making over 250K+ cold calls
The engagement rate was 3%. Doing 100 calls and getting 3 engagements is much faster and efficient than doing 100 emails.
The first deal I closed in 2022, was via cold calls, and our first deal we closed at Caprae (~$20M EV) was via cold calls. While we do cold mail, cold email, LinkedIn outreach etc as well, cold calls by far has been the best.
Good luck searching y'all!
