The New Outbound Reality for 2026: What Founders & SDRs Must Do Differently
Outbound has shifted again. With Apple call screening, tighter email filtering, and overwhelmed buyers, your old outbound playbook won’t cut it in 2026.
In this Smartlead Office Hours, Tom Slocum (Founder, The SD Lab + Outbound Underground) breaks down what’s changed and what to do about it.
You’ll learn:
✅What’s changed in outbound (and what still works)
✅ Tactics to survive Apple’s new call screening + email filtering
✅ How to rethink your ICP, targeting, and first-touch strategy
✅ What outbound teams need to change before 2026 hits
Why This Session Matters:
Buyer behavior has changed. Deliverability is harder. Attention is scarce. Tom will give you tactical, field-tested advice to reset your outbound engine before 2026 hits.
