Sales Beach – Automated Outbound Sales

Sales Beach offers a way for sales teams to setup and deploy automated email drip campaigns. By monitoring team performance through a real-time pipeline dashboard, Sales Beach users are able to discover which types of messages work best when soliciting business from targeted leads.

Import your existing sales leads into Sales Beach with a CSV or XLS file, then start creating your own email campaign mailers using Sales Beach’s templates. If none of the Sales Beach’s existing templates work for you, you also have the option of writing your own from scratch. Once your templates are ready to go, you can select an email drip speed and activate your campaign. When a lead responds to your email, Sales Beach will automatically remove that person from the campaign.

A major part of Sales Beach has to do with the insight that sales teams can derive. For example, teams can pit two or more email messages against one another to determine which ones are generating the best responses from targeted leads. Sales Beach also offers tools for determining which salespeople are your highest performers, and why their pitches are leading above-average results.

Practical Uses:

• Setup an automated email drip campaign
• Contact sales leads via email when they are most likely to respond
• Test multiple email messages to determine which pitches work best
• See which salespeople are having the best results when pitching potential clients
