Outbound for your agency: Quitting too soon

    Don't run a marathon at sprint speed

    Outbound isn't hard.

    Sticking with it is.

    Why?

    It's a marathon, not a sprint.

    Take typical product lifecycles as an example.

    Americans buy a new home every nine years on average.

    Americans buy a new car every five years on average.

    And so on.

    Let's say buyers in your target vertical shop for a new agency every 18 months on average.

    At some point during the 18 months, your vertical buyer will likely be in the market for a new agency.

    Sure, they may stay with their current agency, but they may also shop for other providers.

    Here's the thing...

    A consistent drumbeat of outbound to the same list over a long enough period means you'll be top of mind when they're ready for a new agency.
