Debate: cold email follow-ups vs. picking up the phone
I used to send follow-up emails every 3 days like clockwork and got maybe a 5% reply rate. Then a buddy in sales convinced me to call within 24 hours instead, and now I close 1 out of every 4 leads that way. Which method has actually worked for you guys in the last six months?

Yeah cause nothing says "hey I'm a real person who respects your time" like a cold call right when they're in the middle of their afternoon coffee crash. I swear my phone has a sixth sense for that.

That 24 hour call window works great for high ticket stuff, but for lower price leads a quick email follow up the same day gets me better results honestly. I think timing really depends on what you're selling more than the method itself.
