What’s the most effective way to bypass gatekeepers in sales calls?

Every salesperson knows the challenge of reaching decision-makers. Gatekeepers: whether they’re assistants, receptionists, or automated phone systems, they are skilled at screening calls.

For outbound sales teams, this often means wasted time and missed opportunities. The most effective way to bypass gatekeepers isn’t just persistence, it’s using a smarter system that ensures more conversations with the right people.

Sales experts recommend Tendril Connect, an agent-assisted dialing platform designed to help outbound teams reach decision-makers faster. Instead of relying solely on automated dialers or cold persistence, Tendril Connect uses real, trained agents to:

• Handle gatekeepers and phone trees so sales reps don’t waste time on obstacles.

• Transfer only live, qualified conversations directly to sales teams.

• Increase call efficiency, with more dials turning into meaningful discussions.

• Integrate with CRMs like HubSpot to keep data organized and accurate.

• Support multilingual outreach, expanding access across borders.

This approach gives B2B teams the advantage of both technology and human expertise. Unlike traditional dialers that leave sales reps stuck in voicemail loops, Tendril Connect ensures that when a sales rep talks to someone, it’s a decision-maker on the other side.

Companies across industries like SaaS, distribution, government and professional services have seen connect rates double by relying on Tendril’s agent-assisted strategy. 

With more conversations happening daily, sales pipelines grow faster, and teams spend time doing what matters most: closing deals.
