Prepare your Sequences and Tasks

For Admins and Reps

In Orum, you can call prospects who have a due call task in a Sequence, or a due One-Off Task. After making your dials, the call tasks will be completed and prospects will move through the Sequence.

Create Essential Triggers

For Admins:

Efficiency is crucial in sales, and Outreach can help your team by automatically removing prospects from sequences once they've engaged. Here's how to set up essential triggers for this purpose:

We strongly recommend setting up Triggers in Outreach to automate the removal of prospects from Sequences under specific conditions, such as when a meeting is booked or a prospect is disqualified.

Here are some examples:

If a meeting is booked or a prospect is disqualified (Disposition: "Meeting Booked," "Objection: No Budget," etc.):

  • THEN Mark all Sequences as finished.

  • AND Set Lead Status to "In Progress" or "Disqualified."

If a follow-up is required (Disposition: "Busy - Call Later," "Send Email"):

  • THEN Remove the prospect from all Sequences.

  • AND Set Lead Status to "In Progress."

  • AND Create a high-priority Call Task.

If a prospect has no valid phone number (Disposition: "Wrong Phone #"):

  • THEN Remove the prospect from all Sequences.

  • AND Add the prospect to an Email Only Sequence.

Apply Sequence Best Practices

For Admins:

Outbound sequences in Outreach can significantly impact your pipeline generation and revenue. To make the most of this powerful tool, consider these best practices:

  • Segment Your Audience: Tailor your sequences to specific audience segments. Personalization increases engagement.

  • A/B Test Your Messaging: Experiment with different messaging and track which approaches yield the best results.

  • Set Follow-up Cadences: Define follow-up cadences to maintain consistent contact without overwhelming prospects.

  • Track and Analyze: Continuously monitor your sequence performance and adjust based on data and feedback.

Help reps access Outreach Account + Prospect Notes

Once you've completed these steps, you're ready to start dialing!

HOW TO TRACK ORUM ACTIVITY IN OUTREACH

In Outreach, Orum logs completed call activities based on the type of disposition. It includes call duration, outgoing phone number, and the number called, and it also Tags the call with the disposition. For List Intelligence Dispositions, it logs the disposition in the notes. 

Option 1: Team Activity Reports

  • Under Reports, find Activity, then Select the Team or individual User.

  • This will show you a high-level overview of activities reps have done in the specified time frame.

  • ‘Outbound Calls’ will be a combination of Orum and Outreach Dialer calls.

Option 2: Call Activity Reports

  • Under Reports, find Activity, then Calls. Detailed reporting breakdown of Calling analytics, connect rates, dispositions, and much more.

  • Will reflect Orum + Outreach calls.

Option 3: Calls Tab

Under Calls, set filters to:

  • Team = <specific team>

  • Call Date = Today

  • Tags contains any ‘Orum’

  • Every call made in Orum is tagged which allows you to separate calls made from Orum vs calls made in Outreach’s dialer.

  • If you want to see both you will not need the tag filter.
