Ehsan's Growth Commentary

The data from 100 companies shows Outbound Sales generates 40% of pipeline for FinTech companies at Growth. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.

For 200-500 people teams: assign one person to own Outbound Sales end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. Hire a specialist with industry experience.
