In this throwback episode of the Ryan Hanley Show, host Ryan Hanley interviews Josh Braun, the Founder of Sales DNA. The Master Guru of cold email prospecting, (and all things sales), Josh Braun, explains why we don’t get the response rate on cold outreach we should be and what to do about it.

Key Quotes:

“So, the biggest mistake that I see people make, and it's no fault of their own, is that they've never done the job of the person that they're reaching out to. And so oftentimes, they're speaking a completely different language.” - Josh Braun

“Nobody wakes up one day and just buys a product, they will try to get by the best way they know how to get by because of habit and anxiety. It's hard to glean that information a lot of times from marketing materials because there's a spin to it.” - Josh Braun

“The superpower is you need to shine a light on a problem that people don't know about because every one of your prospects is running in their own sneakers today. I call these illumination questions.” - Josh Braun
