1. Introduction: Why High-Volume Teams Need a System
When you’re making hundreds of outbound calls daily, the difference between chaos and results is process. Without a system, reps spend more time chasing the wrong prospects, duplicating work, or burning out from repetitive tasks. This guide helps you:
- Design predictable, high-performing outbound sales automation
- Use automated follow-up workflows to offload busywork
- Keep reps focused on meaningful conversations
Whether you’re running a BDR team in SaaS, financial services, insurance, or real estate, the tactics in this sales playbook for SDR teams are built to be adaptable.
2. Five Outbound Sequences That Convert
These B2B sales outreach sequences are designed for repeatability and flexibility. Use them as a foundation to plug into your CRM-integrated sales sequences.
Sequence 1: Cold Outreach – Breaking the Ice with New Leads

- Day 2: Personal Email with a short, value-driven message
- Day 4: Call + Voicemail → Follow-up SMS referencing your earlier email
- Day 7: Breakup Email that reiterates value and offers one last chance to connect
Pro tip: Choose a phone system that provides sales automation tools and logs all lead communications to your CRM.
