The Challenge: Before SalesRobot
Before refining his outreach philosophy, Ben experienced the common pitfalls of traditional sales, from social awareness gaps to the inefficiencies of "velocity-first" spamming.
The Social Awareness Gap
Early in his career, Ben once called the same person five times in one day, leading to a direct intervention from his head of sales for lack of social awareness.
Quantity Over Quality
Thinking that "more is better" led to impersonal interactions that often offended prospects and burned potential long-term relationships.
The "Word Vomit" Barrier
Sending 200-word messages full of self-centered "pitching" created instant resistance from busy executives who receive thousands of emails weekly.
Executive Gatekeeper Friction
Securing sponsorship at the lower levels of a company often proved difficult when trying to get buy-in for multi-million dollar IT innovations.
The Solution:
Collaborative Outreach with SalesRobot
Before refining his outreach philosophy, Ben experienced the common pitfalls of traditional sales, from social awareness gaps to the inefficiencies of "velocity-first" spamming.
Key Tactics Used:
The "Top-Down" Regional Filter
- Ben focuses his outreach on C-level executives (CISOs, CIOs, VPs) within a specific geographic region (the Midwest). By staying local and targeting the "who's who" of big companies, he maintains a high-trust, peer-to-peer connection.

The "Social Awareness" Sequence
- Instead of a message-first blitz, the sequence begins by viewing the profile to send a subtle notification. This is followed by a simple connection request that leverages his founder title to establish instant credibility with other executives.
The Single-Sentence "Curiosity" Question
- His first direct ask is intentionally short: "Any chance you manage cellular devices?". By asking a simple "yes or no" question, he makes it effortless for busy, introverted IT professionals to engage in a conversation.
The Results:
Industry-Defying Engagement
By prioritizing respect and patience over aggressive persistence, SalesRobot delivered results for ESG that far exceeded the average LinkedIn performance benchmarks.
