HUDSON, MA — (Marketwired) — 04/04/13 — The Bridge Group, Inc. and AG Salesworks released the today, a report that provides a unique analysis by measuring B2B sales prospecting effectiveness in the high technology sector. The analysis in the Outbound Index picks up where traditional top of funnel studies leave off and provides a granular view of the state of outbound prospecting, giving insight by industry and job function.
“I-m proud of this Index because it is not only meaningful but useful. Use it to evaluate a single reps performance. Reference the historical data to help you better predict what kind of resources you need now in order to hit your forecast goal. Benchmark your whole team and if you are beating us, give yourself a pat on the back and go ask for a raise. The point is that it-s a metric that you can actually do something with,” stated Pete Gracey, COO at . “When Matt and I set out to build the Index we wanted it to be informative, but we also wanted our colleagues to be able to use it to better run their teams. I think we-ve succeeded on both fronts.”
The Outbound Index is an indicator of the return on outbound prospecting efforts, and is derived from actual transactional CRM data.
“What excites me most about this project is the size and scope of the data set. We measured a cohort of outbound prospectors — generating pipeline across 30 technologies, making 100k+ dials & emails, and conducting 8k+ prospect conversations. These are real-world data and I can-t wait to track results over time. We are looking to provide an outbound barometer — a sort of -ADP jobs report for sales,-” stated Matt Bertuzzi, Marketing Consultant at .
