#3 CULTURE
TIME
*Natural cadence is the best. Match your pauses to the length of
your sales cycle, then match to your goal. Also keep it mixed up.
Generally, 6-‐45 days is the min and max Ome between emails.
LAZY LEADS
*Not all leads in a database are good leads. So, set expectaOons when you engage. Don’t expect 100% engagement ever. Some
leads will never engage!
