The challenges of Outbound

Stressed Man

Human BDR

  • Can personalize deeply, but research and message crafting takes significant time and effort.

  • Builds real relationships, yet scalability is limited without automation support.

  • Adapts to objections and tone, but consistency can vary across reps.

  • Brings emotional intelligence, though may miss data-driven targeting opportunities.

  • Strong in calls and follow-ups, but slower in processing large volumes of leads.

Server Room

Pure AI BDR

  • Easily finds contact data, trigger points, and research across multiple data sources.

  • Personalization is limited to surface-level details, making messages feel templated and impersonal.

  • Lacks human touch, making it hard to build trust, rapport, or adapt mid-conversation.

  • Misses emotional cues and nuance, leading to poor handling of objections or complex buying signals.

  • Can automate data research, personalization, and outreach at scale.
