Multi-channel is the new multi-touch. While most sales teams stick to email-only sequences, the smartest revenue teams are building sequences that hit prospects wherever they are, whenever they’re ready. Here’s how to build HubSpot sequences that dominate across every channel.

Why Multi-Channel Sequences Win

Single-channel outreach is dead. Today’s prospects expect engagement across their entire digital ecosystem. Here’s what the data shows:

Channel Performance Comparison

Channel Approach	Response Rate	Conversion Rate	Time to Response	Cost per Lead	Best Use Case
Email Only	23%	4.2%	2-3 days	$15	Initial outreach, nurturing
Phone Only	19%	6.1%	Same day	$45	Urgent follow-up, high-value prospects
LinkedIn Only	17%	3.8%	1-2 days	$25	Professional services, B2B networking
Multi-Channel Combined	41%	12.3%	1 day	$35	Complex sales, enterprise deals

The secret? Meeting prospects where they are, when they’re most receptive.
