Your reps aren't lazy, they're exhausted

I used to think my outbound team just wasn't hungry enough

Then I realized, they were spending more time managing tools than actually selling

→ CRM over here
→ Email platform over there
→ Spreadsheets for tracking
→ Another tab for deliverability checks

By the time they're ready to hit send, half their energy is already gone 🤷

Sounds familiar, right?

So I put together 5 reasons why outbound teams burn out and how Saleshandy can help them

Swipe the carousel to learn more about it 👇

Saleshandy

5 reasons your outbound team feels burnt out

Why do agencies with $50K MRR feel more chaotic than startups at $500K ARR?

It's simple… startups build infrastructure before they scale

Agencies duct-tape tools together while juggling clients 🤷

And then reality looks like this 

→ Switching between 5+ platforms per client 
→ Managing dozens of logins 
→ Hunting for reports across different dashboards 
→ Triple checking you're in the right inbox before hitting send

This is not growth, this is pure survival

You don’t need more tools, you need better ones

One platform to manage leads, send cold emails, warm up inboxes, track performance, and handle multiple clients

And I prefer Saleshandy for it

No tool-switching problem 

No per-seat pricing nightmares

Just centralized client management that actually scales because clients don't care how many tools you use

They care about results

If you're managing clients in 5 diff tools 

AI didn’t help. It hid the mess.

Every founder rushes to plug AI into their outbound

Now the inbox feels like a copy factory

-Same tone
-Same structure
-Same fake personalization

AI didn’t make you better

It just made the chaos look cleaner

Because when your inputs are weak, AI just scales the weakness

Outbound isn’t about prompts

It’s about the process and knowing who you’re talking to and why they should care

AI can’t fix that

It only hides it

If your outbound looks polished but performs the same, it’s not the tool

It’s the system behind it

I stopped hating rejection when I saw the pattern

Every “No” used to sting

Now it’s just another metric to study

Because not all No’s mean the same thing

Here’s how 👇

“Not right now” → timing data
“Not relevant” → ICP feedback
“We already use X” → positioning clue

Every rejection leaves a breadcrumb

You just have to be smart enough to trace it back to the system

The more I studied the No’s, the faster I fixed what actually mattered 
-Offer
-Targeting
-And message

The Yes’s came later

They always do

rejection that pays you back

This is me explaining to my family what I do for a living and somehow it gets more confusing the longer I talk.

It always starts simple:

“I help startups book more meetings.”

Then someone asks, “So… you just send emails?”

 And suddenly I’m 10 minutes deep explaining:

 – inbox warmups
 – deliverability
 – intent signals
 – ICP accuracy
 – and why one wrong domain setting can ruin your entire week

This is the point when my whole family just gives me that Thanksgiving look
 
The one where they’re not sure if I’m explaining my job or about to impersonate the turkey

But hey it pays the bills, fixes pipelines, and keeps founders from panicking every Monday morning 😂

Late on the post but Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🦃

Hope you all had an amazing one

AI took the excuses personally

Now it’s just you, the system and accountability 😬

And honestly, we weren’t avoiding the work before

It just took forever to get stuff done

Research dragged
Personalization dragged even more
Writing one email felt like a whole shift

So yeah the “no time” excuse used to make sense

But then AI showed up and suddenly all the slow stuff wasn’t slow anymore

Which means if outbound still feels inconsistent…

It’s not because of AI, it's because of your system

the moment ai removed all excuses

Did your voice crack on your first call too?

Because mine definitely did 💀

And honestly, that’s the part nobody tells you

Cold calling doesn’t start with confidence

It starts with sweaty palms, shaky intros, and questioning every life choice you’ve ever made

But give it a few months?

You go from “Uh… is this a bad time?”
To “Hey John, quick one got a sec?”

The work stays the same

But you don’t

You get better at the awkward pauses, the messy intros, the fast pivots all the stuff that felt like chaos on day one

P.S. Comment your first cold call memory let’s laugh or cry together 😂

Warning⚠️  

This list may cause emotional damage

Because every seller pretends they’re built different until you realize we all operate the same way under pressure

The mid-call Google searches
The enthusiastic intro no one asked for
The 11-day “I’ll follow up tomorrow” delay
The CRM blame-game Olympics

We’ve all done it

We just don’t admit it publicly

Drop the number that hurt your soul the most 👇

Follow Nick Palasz for more honesty in a world of sales delusion

The breakthrough wasn’t a tool… it was cleaning up the mess

And that’s when everything started working again

We didn’t try to “build a stack”

We just fixed what kept breaking until the pipeline finally stopped fighting us

Here’s what stayed 👇

PhantomBuster- Scrapes real buyers not random titles
LeadMagic - Finds the hidden visitors already showing intent
Clay - Turns raw signals into clean, usable lead intelligence
Icypeas - Verified emails + enrichment that doesn’t fall apart
Prospeo.io - Find business email addresses for outreach.  
Aimfox- Personalization at scale that still feels human
Writesonic - Context-aware copy that doesn’t sound robotic
Smartlead -Safe sending + consistent outbound volume
Instantly.ai - Sales Engagement & Lead Intelligence  
Saleshandy - Follow-ups that land naturally
Inframail - Protects deliverability from collapsing
MailReach -Keeps inboxes warm, clean, and trusted

Back at the starting line. Again.

Every salesperson knows this moment the quiet pause before another chase begins

Last month’s wins fade faster than they should

The deals closed, the high-fives, the end-of-month rush…

They all reset to zero overnight

And suddenly, it’s back to building

New leads. New follow-ups. New conversations

It’s equal parts thrilling and exhausting because starting from scratch never really gets easier

But maybe that’s what keeps it real

The clean slate forces a new version of yourself to show up 

One that’s hungrier, sharper, a little more grounded than before

So here’s to the rebuild 

The quiet part nobody celebrates

But the part that makes every win worth it

Repost ♻️ to inspire your network and 🔔

Follow Nick Palasz for more

Not every deal’s meant to close and it's okay

When I first got into outbound, I thought every ‘no’ was a reflection of me

Every Closed Lost felt like failure

I’d overthink the follow-ups, rewrite the emails, and convince myself I should’ve done more

But over time, I learned something that completely flipped my mindset 

A lost deal doesn’t mean you did something wrong

Sometimes it means timing’s off
Sometimes the fit isn’t right 
And sometimes it’s just not your deal to win 🤷

Those moments taught me more than any course or sales hack ever could

What worked? What didn’t?

Why did some people lean in while others ghosted?

That’s how growth happens, quietly, between all the no’s and not yets.

So if you’re just getting started, remember

You don’t need to close every deal

You just need to learn from the ones you lose

That’s how you stop taking rejection personally 

And start taking it professionally

Outbound is entering its filter era

Where strategy starts to matter again

The problem isn’t that outbound stopped working 

It’s that everyone kept copying what they used to

Templates. Tools. Tricks.

All trying to sound “personal” and ending up sounding the same

Your prospects don’t need more messages

They need meaning

The teams that’ll win in 2026?

They’ll stop chasing open rates and start engineering systems that earn attention

One's built with data that flows, context that connects, and structure that actually scales

Outbound’s not a volume game anymore

It’s a systems game

This is outbound, evolved

Your people notice the damage long before the numbers expose it

And once the numbers react, the damage has already spread

Because bad sales cultures don’t blow up your numbers first they blow up your team

And it starts quietly

Reps stop asking real questions
Managers start obsessing over quota
Buyers feel sold instead of helped
And suddenly every call feels like a pitch instead of a conversation

That’s when performance drops

Not because the reps don’t care but because the culture is working against them

I’ve watched teams with insane potential fall apart this way
Great product.
Great talent
But the environment kept breaking them long before the metrics showed anything was wrong

And here’s the part nobody likes admitting:

The fix isn’t a new script, a new cadence, or a new tool

It’s the environment
→ help the buyer
→ coach curiosity
→ reward doing it right not rushing the close

Because when a team actually believes in how they sell?

Everything else becomes easier

The results always follow

Loyalty to a company is a trap.

Loyalty to your growth isn't.

(I learned this the hard way)

I used to think company loyalty would save my career.
I was dead wrong.

🚨 Top performers are NOT always safe.

Here's why:

1. Your skills have a shelf life
↳ What's in demand today might be useless tomorrow
↳ Learn one new skill every month - plan ahead

2. Your job isn't as safe as you think
↳ Companies cut costs, not feelings
↳ Keep an emergency fund - 6 months of expenses

3. Work friends can't save you
↳ Your network matters more than your resume
↳ Connect with one new person every week - offer value

4. Your boss won't level you up
↳ Waiting for company training? You're already behind
↳ Invest in yourself. It's the best ROI you'll ever get

5. One job is a risky bet
↳ Don't put all your eggs in one career basket
↳ Start your side hustle. It could be your safety net

6. Think like an owner, not a worker
↳ Drop the employee mindset
↳ Start thinking like a growing business
↳ Always ask: "Where can I add more value?"

7. Playing it safe won't build your career
↳ Invest in short-term pain for long-term gain 
↳ Take calculated risks - they compound over time

So:

✅ Do your best work
✅ Be thankful for your job
✅ But never stop investing in yourself

Because you're the CEO of your career.
No one cares about your growth more than you do.

Leaders, you have 2 choices:

Talk over everyone ❌
Make space for ideas ✅

Command authority ❌
Share real power ✅

Control meetings ❌
Empower their voices ✅

Take all the credit ❌
Let them shine ✅

Shut down ideas ❌
Amplify their voice ✅

Force compliance ❌
Trust their expertise ✅

Play favorites ❌
Give fair chances ✅

The hard truth?

A manager leaves you:
Questioning yourself.
Doubting your worth.
Feeling small.

A leader leaves you:
Ready to rise.
Owning your power.
Trusting your potential.

These are the warning signs:
"Others can handle it..."
"We're like family here..."
"I'm actually helping you..."
"I'm just being direct here..."
"Maybe you're too sensitive..."

That's the difference between:
↳ Taking space vs giving it
↳ Proving power vs sharing it

I spent years talking status and chasing importance.

Until someone showed me:
↳ Empty rooms echo loudest
↳ Filled rooms build futures

So now I shut up and listen.

The result?
Our team has never been more efficient.
Productive. Inspired. Empowered.

Burnout is contagious.
Fix it before it causes any more serious damage.

Drained by Negativity at Work?

6 Epic Mindsets I've Used To Find Opportunities

Let's be real.
Negativity is everywhere. 

As an ER doctor, I'm no stranger to it.
Toxic co-workers, stressful situations, and self-doubt.

It's easy to get weighed down and lose motivation.

If you're not proactive. You'll get stuck reacting.

So, I offer these mindset techniques to my patients in distress.
They work quickly if you give them a chance.

I've been told that they're power-ups.
They are your reset button.

Try one out today:

1/ The Negativity Parking Lot Technique 
 ↳ When negative thoughts start circling, visualize a parking lot
 ↳ Park each negative thought there until later
 ↳ Now your mind can refocus on what matters
 
2/ Use the 360 Perspective Shift
 ↳ Remind yourself that other people's negativity is about their struggles
 ↳ Empathize from a more objective, impartial lens
 ↳ Now you have a bird's eye view of the situation
 
3/ Try Gatekeeping Your Emotions
 ↳ Choose which thoughts and emotions to entertain
 ↳ Negativity is an unwanted visitor you can turn away
 ↳ Turn your self-talk into empowering affirmations
 
4/ Schedule Positivity Pauses
 ↳ Take 5-minute recharging breaks every few hours
 ↳ Do something uplifting - breathwork, quick walk
 ↳ This keeps your positive energy reserves full
 
5/ Use the Gratitude Jumpstart
 ↳ Each morning, find 3 things you're grateful for

 ↳ Your mindset becomes an attitude of gratitude

6/ Create a Feedback Formula
 ↳ Turn negative feedback into an opportunity
 ↳ Every critique becomes a chance to improve and expand
 ↳ Now, your mistakes turn into an improvement plan

I tell my patients:
We don't know how much time we have left.
But we each have 86,400 seconds in a day.
Don't surrender yours to anyone. 

Stay proactive.
Guard your attitude.
Seize your opportunities.

When work takes over life, burnout WILL take over.

5 ways to take back control:

Work-life balance is an illusion. There’s only life.

It took me 15+ years as a doctor and entrepreneur to see this. 

The real cost of burnout:
↳ Diminished output
↳ Stifled innovation
↳ Lost purpose

So, how do you get your life back?

1) Master Strategic 'No'

Every yes costs you somewhere else.

Be selective with:
↳ Last-minute "urgencies"
↳ Tasks that don't drive results
↳ Commitments that drain you

2) Define Your Lines

Non-negotiables:
↳ Work stays at work
↳ Quiet evening hours
↳ Clear communication
↳ Technology-free meals
↳ Protected personal time

3) Ruthless Focus

Question everything:
↳ Can this be delegated?
↳ Is this aligned with goals?
↳ Does this move the needle?
↳ Focus on impact over action
↳ Eliminate the unnecessary

4) Strategic Breaks

Daily renewal:
↳ Fresh air, movement, quiet moments

Deep recovery:
↳ Quality rest
↳ True disconnection
↳ Meaningful connections

5) Design Your Day

Your schedule, your rules:
↳ Sleep is sacred
↳ Work has limits
↳ Structure serves you
↳ Self-care is scheduled
↳ Energy drives decisions

____

It's the same in both medicine and business:

A purposeful career supports a meaningful life.

✅ Rest deeply
✅ Build systems
✅ Choose carefully
✅ Guard your time
✅ Focus intently

The truth is:
You're essential at home.
At work, you're a resource.

Technical skills get you hired. Soft skills tell how far you'll go.

After 15+ years leading medical teams and companies, I've learned:
Skills gaps stall career, not technical limits

The good news?
These patterns are predictable and fixable

Here are the critical soft skills that make or break high performers:

1/ Time Management
🛑 Always late to meetings or deadlines
✅ Use time-blocking to prioritize tasks. Every minute counts.

2/ Communication Style
🛑 Dominating conversations without listening to anyone
✅ Actively listen by summarizing others' points

3/ Handling Feedback
🛑 Getting defensive when receiving criticism
✅ Ask for specific examples to improve performance

4/ Stress Management
🛑 Becoming overly frustrated under pressure
✅ Practice stress-relief routines, like deep breathing. Pressure reveals character.

5/ Teamwork
🛑 Only working alone and rarely collaborating
✅ Offer to help others with projects and brainstorm ideas

6/ Conflict Resolution
🛑 Not addressing issues, hoping they'll disappear
✅ Address conflicts directly and share your concerns

7/ Emotional Intelligence
🛑 Not read the room or hear other perspectives
✅ Ask others about their challenges. Critical in high-stress environments

8/ Problem-Solving
🛑 Escalating issues without trying solutions
✅ Suggest multiple ideas along with problems

9/ Creativity
🛑 Sticking rigidly to old processes
✅ Find new and creative ways to work

10/ Continuous Learning

The difference between a boss and a leader? 

The words they choose.

After 15+ years leading teams across industries,
I noticed one crucial thing.

Your words WILL make or break your team's culture.

Powerful leaders use these phrases to build trust in their team:

🗣️ Tell me more about that
↳ Show genuine interest and curiosity

🗣️ What can I do to help?
↳ Show you're there to support the team

🗣️ I believe in you
↳ Inspire their confidence and motivate

🗣️ Let's figure this out together
↳ Encourage their solutions and teamwork 

🗣️ I hear what you're saying
↳ Show you are actively listening

🗣️ We need your voice
↳ Encourage their diverse perspectives and ideas

🗣️ What do you think we should do?
↳ Empower team members to contribute

🗣️ I appreciate this
↳ Acknowledge their hard work

🗣️ Your effort made this happen
↳ Recognize your team and give credit

🗣️ I trust your judgment
↳ Empower others to make decisions

🗣️ That was my mistake
↳ Take responsibility and avoid blaming your team

🗣️ What did we learn here?
↳ Focus on their growth without blame

🗣️ Show me how you would do it
↳ Show you respect them enough to listen

🗣️ What are your career goals?
↳ Show you care about their professional growth

🗣️ I am here for you
↳ Show you support and care about their wellbeing

Remember, the best leaders don't just inspire with their voice. 
They lead with their actions.

Feeling Stuck? 
Here's Why You're Luckier Than You Think:

Between running my businesses and treating patients,
The pressure builds up.

Reflecting on this keeps me grounded:

If Earth had just 100 people:
↳ 34 doesn't have internet
↳ 13 can't read or write
↳ 8 don't have clean water
↳ 8 live on less than $2 a day

And you're reading this on LinkedIn.
Think about that for a second.

The truth is:
You're already in the top 1%

7 ways to use your luck to get unstuck:

1/ Turn Knowledge Into Action
↳ Pick one course (not five)
↳ Study 25 mins every morning
↳ Teach someone what you learned

2/ Create Your Success Routine
↳ Wake up 45 mins earlier
↳ Read 10 pages before screens
↳ Write 3 goals before email
↳ Small wins compound quickly

3/ Build Real Connections
↳ Message 2 new people daily
↳ Share their wins (not just yours)
↳ Ask how you can help them

4/ Master Your Money
↳ Learn one money skill monthly
↳ Track every dollar for 30 days
↳ Knowledge equals freedom

5/ Boost Your Energy
↳ Walk 15 mins at lunch
↳ Sleep 7+ hours (non-negotiable)
↳ High energy unlocks everything else

6/ Create Instead of Consume
↳ Write one helpful post weekly
↳ Share three lessons you learned
↳ Build something small daily

7/ Practice Deep Gratitude
↳ List 3 unique blessings daily
↳ Help one person without asking
↳ Grateful people grow faster

So tell me:
Are you ahead of most people globally?

The #1 leadership myth that's holding you back...

(This took me many years to learn.)

...is that you need one leadership style.

🚨 A one-size-fits-all leadership style WILL destroy your career.

The best leaders I've met shift gears based on their:
↳ Team
↳ Business
↳ Situation

Here's a practical guide to lead like a high performer:

(and when each style is most effective)

1/ Visionary Leadership:

↳ Inspire others by showing a clear and exciting future
✅ Use it to drive long-term change and innovation
❌ Not for day-to-day operations or problem-solving

2/ Bureaucratic Leadership:

↳ Follow strict rules and procedures to maintain order
✅ For regulation and compliance
❌ When flexibility and innovation are needed

3/ Pace Setting Leadership:

↳ Set high standards and lead by showing how it's done
✅ To get quick results with a highly skilled team
❌ Inexperienced, unmotivated team

4/ Commanding Leadership:

↳ Give clear, direct orders without a long explanation
✅ For crises where quick action is critical
❌ Experienced teams that need autonomy

5/ Servant Leadership:

↳ Put the team's needs and growth first
✅ Building loyal teams and long-term development
❌ Situations that need quick, decisive action

6/ Charismatic Leadership:

↳ Inspire others with charm and clear communication
✅ To motivate teams during uncertainty
❌ When specific expertise is needed

7/ Democratic Leadership:

↳ Include your team's input in decisions
✅ To build consensus and team buy-in
❌ When quick decisions are needed

8/ Coaching Leadership:

↳ Coach your team to grow their skills and performance
✅ To build a strong, skilled team for long-term success
❌ When you need quick results or are in crisis

9/ Delegative Leadership:

↳ Let the team decide and manage their tasks
✅ With skilled, motivated team members
❌ Inexperienced team that needs guidance

P.S. 

The right question isn't what's my leadership style?

It's what does my team need right now?

Master this and you'll be the right leader for the job

Stop asking people for "thoughts" or "feedback."

15 Questions high performers aren't afraid to ask:

Over 18 years of leading critical care and business teams,

I’ve noticed high performers often ask deeper questions.

15 questions that encourage problem-solving and better results:

✅ "What big thing are we not talking about?"
↳ When avoiding a tough topic
↳ Bring up hidden issues everyone's scared to mention

✅ "Who might we upset by this choice?"
↳ When needing quick results
↳ Think about how changes affect others

✅ "What went wrong last time we did this?"
↳ When trying a risky idea
↳ Learn from past mistakes and avoid repeating them

✅ "If money weren't a problem, how would we do this?"
↳ When the budget is tight
↳ Think big and find creative solutions

✅ "What might we be wrong about?"
↳ When everyone agrees
↳ Challenge assumptions and avoid groupthink

✅ "Who else should be part of this talk?"
↳ When key people are missing
↳ Include important voices and perspectives

✅ "What do we risk if we do nothing?"
↳ When the team is afraid
↳ Show the risks of not taking action

✅ "How does this help our big goals?"
↳ When the project is off-track
↳ Refocus the team on what matters

✅ "What's the worst way this could fail?"
↳ When planning a big launch
↳ Prepare for potential disasters

✅ "Who might fight against this idea?"
↳ When suggesting a big change
↳ Anticipate and address resistance

✅ "What skills do we need but don't have?"
↳ When facing a tough challenge
↳ Find gaps in the team's abilities

✅ "How will we know this didn't work?"
↳ When starting a new project
↳ Plan for failures and set clear goals

✅ "What if this works better than we expect?"
↳ When things are going well
↳ Plan for unexpected success

Now, it's your turn to ask them.
