Outbound Sales Success Requires Complicated Systems. #ChangeMyMind

Brandi Starr is joined by Gabe Lullo, a sales and recruiting expert, and Rolly Keenan, CRO of Tegrita and seasoned revenue leader, who argue that outbound sales is failing not because of lazy reps, but because it's become far too complex for its own good.

With real-world examples and sharp industry insight, Lullo and Keenan explain why revenue leaders must break away from complexity before it undermines growth. Will you rethink your outbound strategy or defend the old playbook?
