Hey there! Excellent question -- here are a few best practices to consider:

• Use Automation Rules:

  • Automate lead entry into the Cadence to ensure no leads fall through the cracks.
  • Use automation to trigger leads directly into the Cadence when a prospecting Cadence ends.

• Leverage Multi-Touch Cadences:

  • Combine phone and email steps to increase the chances of engagement.
  • For example, add a phone step immediately before an email step and leave a voicemail referring to the upcoming email.

• Evaluate and Iterate:

  • Regularly evaluate the performance of your Cadences to ensure they are driving outcomes like Meetings Booked or Opportunities Created.
  • Iterate on the Cadence by making changes based on what has worked well and what hasn't.

• Use "Other" Steps:

  • Incorporate "other" steps as reminders to take specific actions that may not involve direct customer interaction, such as internal meetings or strategy sessions.
