Understanding Declining Email Response Rates and Meetings

From a RevOps perspective, is this something teams still actively invest time/money in — or has buyer attention shifted elsewhere?”

It still works you just need to invest in other channels. LinkedIn, Reddit, X and socials are delivering big results and can compliment email very well

It still works - in fact I just booked a meeting today with cold email. But, as Nick rightly mentioned, you need to invest in other channels - 5-7 touch points is the norm nowadays.
