Snowflake achieves 20% prospect reply rate and 15% more reps hitting quota with Outreach

The problem

Snowflake's enterprise-focused sales team needed to deliver the right message at the right time to multiple decision makers across long, complex deal cycles, and needed to scale that approach without simply adding headcount.

First attempt

Hiring more salespeople to produce more pipeline was recognized as insufficient without first investing in process and technology.
