What is Outbound Sales?
Outbound sales is the practice of proactively reaching out to prospects who haven’t contacted you first — through cold email, calls, or social — to start sales conversations. Unlike inbound (where buyers come to you), outbound lets you target exactly who you want, and an AI SDR scales the email motion and books the meetings.
How AI scales outbound sales
