Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how Firstsales protects your domain, lands emails in inboxes, and turns cold outreach into revenue—everything in one place.

College sales cycles vary by deal size and complexity. Most college deals take several weeks to several months. Focus on building relationships and providing value throughout the process.
The best channels depend on your target buyer. For college, multi-touch sequences work best. Always test and measure what works for your specific market.
Prepare for common college objections by understanding the root cause. Is it budget? Timing? Competition? Address the real concern directly with social proof and case studies from similar college companies.
Start with the essentials: email deliverability (FirstSales), data enrichment, and a CRM. Add college-specific tools as you scale. Don't overcomplicate your stack before validating the process.
