Webinar: How call screeners are leading to increased connect rates
Apple’s iOS 26 update changed the game for outbound sales. With new call-screening features filtering unknown numbers, many teams have seen connect rates dip and conversations stall. But not all of them.
Join Orum and DemandZen for an inside look at what the data actually shows—and how top teams are thriving in this new environment. We’ll unpack how Orum’s AI-powered platform identifies, skips, and even leverages screeners to help reps start more real conversations—and how DemandZen is doubling connect rates by adapting their messaging, timing, and talk tracks.
What You’ll Learn:
- How iOS 26 call-screening works—and what’s really happening behind the scenes
- The data: what Orum’s billions of dials reveal about screener impact and connect patterns
- Real-world strategies Orum’s own SDRs use to break through and book meetings
- How DemandZen’s team is A/B testing screener messaging to drive 2x higher connect rates
- Practical frameworks you can implement immediately to improve your team’s results
