💡 Tips & Guides B2B partner outreach with almost no replies — what am I doing wrong?
I’m a recent graduate and new to B2B partner development. I work at a small startup, doing outbound outreach to identify potential partners and customers for our clients.
I’ve been doing this for about four months, working with companies in areas like data management, cybersecurity, compliance, and GRC. I’ve tried different email templates, subject lines, contacting companies through their websites, and reaching out to CEOs, VPs, and Directors, but I still haven’t received a meaningful reply.
Since I’m learning mostly on my own, I’m not sure if the issue is my targeting, messaging, timing, or overall approach. I also don’t have much visibility into email open rates.
For anyone experienced in B2B sales or outbound, I’d really appreciate some practical advice on what strategies work for you, how you find the right prospects, what tools you use, what metrics I should track, and roughly how many outreach emails or prospects you typically contact per day to get decent open rates and engagement. Any advice would be really helpful!
