Hot take from useapolloio Head of Global Sales ...
I don't really care about activity metrics. I think that might be an unpopular opinion, but to me, it's not the drum that I beat. I don't care if you sent a thousand emails, a hundred emails or 10 emails. And when I think about metrics and analyzing funnels, the thing that I'm looking at most is meetings and not the volume of those meetings, but the quality of those meetings. And I would define quality as the persona that we're meeting with, the seniority of that persona, and then the throughput of that meeting. Is that meeting turning into another meeting? If we're meeting with the right seniority levels, the right personas and progressing meetings to second meetings, to me, that's a very good indication.
Summary
