Various means and tools are used to achieve this: - Cold calls : A message and a target are defined, and calls are made, emails written, etc., in order to awaken a desire to find out more. When the exercise is successful, the result is an appointment in the diary of sales and the prospect.
Backed up by marketing campaigns or webinars (inbound and outbound), the BDR contacts, qualifies the contact and works on the need in order to generate qualified appointments (either by video or in person).
