There is an epidemic of failure within outbound cold calling to understand what happens during first-time cold call connections. This causes reps to be improperly trained and enabled by their leadership. 

The over-specialization of sales roles and endless tools to support them has caused an obsession with getting meetings during first-time connects.

A cold caller's goal should never be "To get meetings."

They should focus on curating contact data for timing with the goal of: "Always having the proper conversations at the right time." 

This will create the conditions for effortlessly booking multiple meetings DAILY from follow-ups.

Our proof?

The data is indisputable: 

1. The average length of a cold call is 68 seconds.

2. Outbound Cold Calling endeavors that achieve and exceed quota attainment book 80%+ of their meetings from follow-ups.

3. 2x to 12x+ more pipeline and revenue are created from meetings booked from follow-ups compared to meetings set on first-time cold call connects. Meetings set from follow-ups yield higher show rates.

Whether you are an aspiring Rep, Sales Leader, or Founder struggling to get your outbound cold calling endeavor off the ground, please use the calendar at the top of my profile to book a time...

My only ask is that we agree to have a great discussion and end up better off than where we started, regardless of whether we do business together.

If you're not here to learn more about Outbound, let's connect anyway. 

Here's a little bit more about me... 

30+ years of selling experience.

I've been skydiving (parachute rigger USMC) to the bottom of the ocean via SCUBA. I'm a Master Brewer. I try to play acoustic guitar (Martin 000-16GT). I've written code. I'm never alone - full of faith and spirit.

I'm a single dad of 3 daughters and a grandpa to a grandson.

Living by the Platinum rule: Treating people how they like to be treated. 

Instead of looking for the right people to be around, we work to be the kind of people others would like to be around.

I was born on 05/27/1971 --- I turned 54 in May 2025.  Over the last few years, I've taken on a fitness routine and healthier lifestyle.

I look forward to chatting and learning more about you, what you're working on, and where you're headed.

With success in mind,
Shawn Sease

Head of Enterprise Pilots & Proof of Concepts:  Driving rapid adoption & results for top performers

Humantic AI is a Buyer Intelligence platform for revenue teams. 

Top revenue teams use Humantic's Personality AI to identify early adopters, help their BDRs personalize outreach, and enable their AEs with vital customer insights for every deal.

Humantic.ai completely eliminates that guesswork around knowing who to contact next and how to approach them in any channel:  email, phone, and social messaging. 

Phone: Build trust faster and book more meetings. 

Email: Improve click thru and response rates 250% to 400%. 

Social: Increase connection request accept rates.

Pipeline: Increase velocity with higher quality opps and close more deals

There are hundreds of "Sales AI Tools" that focus on salespeople. Humantic AI is the only one that focuses on buyers to help reps improve engagement.

Humantic AI is used by 100+ customers, including Fortune 500 organizations. It continues to become the AI tool of choice for revenue teams across industries.

Build trust faster | Increase Pipeline Velocity | Close more deals

There are only two kinds of "Not Interested" outcomes when cold calling.

Are there not?

1. Not Interested because you started a genuine two-way dialogue and got to the bottom of why there is No Interest. Both parties engaged in dialogue using their prefrontal cortex (slow, methodical thinking).

2. Not Interested because you failed to start a genuine two-way dialogue and ended up talking to their fight or flight responses, and never achieved a genuine discussion/outcome. Both parties are using their amygdalas to wrestle with the fight-or-flight response (fast, subconscious thinking).

We can't dispose of these calls the same, can we?

#1 is a legitimate "Not interested," which requires a sub-disposition for what to do next:

For example:

Not Interested: 90-day persistence 

#2 is more of a "Brush off."

For example:

Brush off: Failed to start a conversation 

There are a few additional "sub dispositions" that go with the main dispositions that can help you stay organized and use automation to:

1. Minimize your wrap time

2. Create a simple and effective follow-up strategy

3. Keep your CRM tidy and free from becoming a landfill for eroded contact data

In conclusion, it will always depend on what you sell, who you sell to, how much it costs, and the length of the sales cycle as to how elaborate your dispositions need to be, not to mention...

Less is always more.

So don't get carried away.

When all else fails, pick up the phone and dial.

With success in mind,
Shawn

I had an incredible and eye-opening experience with Google Gemini AI last night.

Together, we spent about 2.5 hours tuning my living room audio experience.

I run the following components:

Outlaw Audio RR2150 Integrated Amp
AC Infinity AIRCOM T8 Cooling System
Monitor Audio Silver 300 6G Speakers
Monitor Audio FB-210 Subwoofer
BlueSOUND Node Wireless Streamer/DAC

My room is 16.5' x 14', and the ceilings are vaulted on the audio side (taller than behind me and my listening positions)

Sharing pictures of the rooms, plus dimensions and everything I could think of, we ended up with:

Left speaker 5" from the wall with a slight toe in

Right speaker 18" from the wall with a 30-degree toe-in (much more dramatic than the left channel)

Bass management on the RR2150 set to 60 Hz

The subwoofer phase around 75° to compensate for leak into my kitchen.

Subwoofer level at about 1/4 turn, or 9 o'clock on the dial. Extremely low but packing a chest pounding punch with crisp clarity.

Sounds like I'm at live concerts now.

Full soundstage, 3D+ imaging, and no mud between the Bass Guitar and Drums.

I am completely blown away by how well AI and I worked together to get to a complete solution.

I love these moments because they open my eyes to things I hadn't even imagined in terms of using AI.

Unreal!

Always be learning.

Talk soon,
Shawn

P.S. I found myself communicating with the AI as if it were a human. Trippy!

On the negative side, I can easily see how AI can be a confirmation bias accelerator to the nth degree!
