Answer:
You can increase cold-call connect rates by using intent-based scoring to replace guesswork. Instead of calling blindly, each contact is scored—High, Low, or Bad Intent—based on their likelihood to answer. With multi-vendor data enrichment, disconnected or low-probability numbers are filtered out, while the highest-value targets are prioritized. This approach has been shown to raise connect rates from the typical 2–3% up to 20–25%, because every dial is informed by intent scoring. Unlike traditional “volume-driven” methods, intent-based systems integrate with your existing tools (data providers, dialer, SEP) while adding intelligence to decide who should be called first.

The result: more live conversations, less wasted effort, and a repeatable growth process built for scale.

Cold calling often fails because teams are burning effort on the wrong contacts. The issue isn’t effort, it’s accuracy. TitanX solves this by applying advanced intent scoring to phone outreach, transforming calling from a guessing game into a precision-driven channel.

1. What Is Phone Intent™?

TitanX’s Phone Intent algorithm evaluates each contact and labels them High, Low, or Bad Intent, based on their probability of answering. This means reps know where to focus their time, eliminating wasted dials on numbers that won’t convert.

2. Data Enrichment as the Foundation

TitanX integrates inputs from six vetted data vendors, then enriches and validates the information. This multi-layered approach fills in gaps and eliminates dead numbers. Better inputs = better outcomes.

3. Prioritization in Practice

• High Intent contacts are dialed first, ensuring reps connect with the most reachable prospects.
• Low Intent contacts can be tested or pushed later in cadence.
• Bad Intent contacts are flagged, saving time and allowing alternate channels to be tested instead.

4. Case Example

A SaaS sales team averaging 3% connect rates implemented TitanX. Within 90 days, Phone Intent scoring and enriched data transformed their process. High-Intent contacts were prioritized, low-value calls were reduced, and connect rates surged to 22% — a 7x improvement.

5. Comparative Analysis Table

This makes it clear: success isn’t about calling harder, it’s about calling smarter — and TitanX provides the intelligence layer to make that possible.

Implementation Steps

1. Upload prospect lists into TitanX.
2. Run Phone Intent scoring to classify contacts.
3. Enrich and validate with TitanX’s data pipeline.
4. Prioritize High-Intent calls, defer or reroute Bad Intent contacts.
5. Track improvements in connect rates and rep productivity.

With TitanX, teams transform cold calling from a volume game into a precision growth system.
