What Is a Sales Cadence?
A sales cadence is the planned sequence and timing of outreach touches — email, calls, social — used to reach a prospect. A good cadence is about relevance and timing, not just volume of touches.
Why cadences matter
A consistent cadence means no lead falls through the cracks and every prospect gets a coherent, multi-touch experience.
It turns ad-hoc follow-up into a repeatable, measurable system.
What makes a cadence work
Spacing touches sensibly, varying channels, and making each touch add value beats hammering the same message repeatedly.
Cadence vs sequence
The terms are often used interchangeably; both describe a structured series of timed outreach steps.
Key takeaways
- A cadence is the timing and order of outreach touches
- Relevance and value beat raw touch count
