@Dave Miz Thanks! I'll check it out

@Shane Hagan can you expand on each point here?

I just had a campaign of 1600 get nothing. Then I did a follow up message and it hit. 🤷‍♂️ The bare truth of all this is the following: - You have to have your tech and your stack right. If your DNS is fubar, or your list is not clean, nothing you do will work. Your accounts need to be healthy and your lists need to be as clean as possible. These are non negotiable. These can affect your results in invisible ways if you let them go ignored. - Next, try all the norms that are working these days. Here are the 2025 "norms" so try these first: https://www.linkedin.com/smart-links/AQG5SOqTY4eSJQ/5601a1e4-4e75-4e7d-aac8-dc2c7ec67fc6 - Once you know you are doing all the norms correctly and are still not getting results, then you can start to experiment. - Every campaign is genuinely unique to itself, so nobody has seen this campaign before which is to say, nobody knows what will work. I really mean nobody. It's unpredictable what will really work in any given single campaign. There are statistical outcomes that can bias your decisions (but that doesn't mean they are right for that campaign). I see the gurus are really just "guessing better" based on their experience and based on what they've seen work before. But, again, this doesn't mean their advice is correct for any single given campaign. - You have levers you can pull and pull hard. The offer, the lead magnet, the copy (length, tone, etc.). Pull hard on these levers to learn what will work an not work in a campaign. Even break the rules (like putting in links to something valuable). Weird things have worked great for many campaigns.

And good luck!

@Max Khalus Good strategy to have in my hip pocket on the initial call. Thanks!

@Ian Kirk actually I'm going with positioning it as complementary, not competitive. Many of these contacts are already financially and emotionally invested in SDRs, to telling them they are wrong or that this is smarter is probably not the right approach. We'll see how it goes.

Still working through it. I think I will go with separate workspaces as I can share benefits across them. It seems Instantly might be making features that encourage this approach

@Daniel Knez no

@Grzegorz S Wow, nice chart. So which would you say is the better deal all in?

@Grzegorz S Access to lead database (400M contacts) comes with basic mailbox purchase and no other cost or subscription?
