Fanatical Prospecting
The Ultimate Guide to Opening Sales Conversations and Filling the Pipeline by Leveraging Social Selling, Telephone, Email, Text, and Cold Calling
by Jeb Blount
Who This Book Is For
Ideal reader: a sales professional who needs to fix a leaky pipeline. Typically in B2B, often in inside sales, SDR/BDR roles, or account executives who rely on outbound prospecting to fill the funnel. They’ve seen inconsistent results, overly dependent on inbound or luck, and want a repeatable system rather than ad hoc tactics. They’re willing to adopt a fanatical mindset—owning the pipeline, embracing discipline, and building emotional resilience to rejection. They’re ready to implement time blocking, multi-channel cadences, and a phone-first approach, with clear messaging, scripts, and next-step commitments. They care about ICP targeting, lead types (cold, warm, hot), and pipeline hygiene; they track leading indicators and use feedback loops to improve. They want forecastability, shorter cycles, and more qualified conversations. They’re coachable, pragmatic, and committed to daily practice—even during busy periods—to create a sustainable, scalable pipeline. They seek practical, battle-tested guidance they can quickly apply in real meetings and outcomes.
