Most sellers treat outbound like throwing spaghetti at the wall.
Then they wonder why nothing sticks.
Cold outreach only works if you treat it like a system. Not a gamble.
Here’s the exact 4-step outbound setup that’s helped us (and many of our Sales in DACH Academy members) land meetings with DACH prospects consistently 👇
🧍 Step 1
Build Your Persona Mastersheet
Before you write a single message — know who you’re talking to.
I use a simple table that maps each persona like this:
🔍 What this gives you:
→ Messaging clarity
→ Better relevance
→ A goldmine for LinkedIn posts and voice notes
Sales in DACH Example:
🎯 Persona: Head of Sales
💼 Goal: Ramp Sellers faster
😓 Problem: Lack of onboarding structure
🔥 Pain: Pipeline gaps, frustrated team
🧩 Solution: Role-based learning paths + real talk from German-speaking top sellers
💸 ROI: Faster ramp, higher morale, 20% more pipeline in 4 weeks
🁳 Step 2
Set Up Persona-Specific Cadences
Once you know your personas, it’s time to build sequences that speak directly to them.
We covered the exact cadence in this newsletter issue:
12 steps, multi-channel, and DACH-proof.
🎙 What works best?
LinkedIn voice notes as the first touch.
We're seeing 30–50% response rates depending on persona and personalization level.
💪 Step 3
Consistent Execution > Perfect Sequences
Outbound doesn't work if it lives in a Notion doc.
It works if you do it. Daily.
Here’s the formula:
💥 Take 5 accounts per day
💥 Add 3–5 prospects per account
→ That’s 15–20 high-quality leads into your cadence, every single day
By the end of the month, you’ve reached 300–400 people – intentionally, not randomly.
🧐 Step 4:
Review + Refine Every Month
Block 30 minutes at the beginning of each month.
Why not end-of-month? Because we both know you’ll be sprinting to hit quota 😅
What to look for:
-
Where do people drop off?
-
Are your VMs getting heard?
-
Is a specific CTA working better for one persona?
📊 Outbound is not a set-and-forget system.
It’s a feedback loop. And every drop-off point = data you can use to improve.
