It’s about becoming better with every interaction. Less experience means you need more outreach to get results. More skill means fewer attempts with higher success. The key? Improvement over volume. ✅ You grow by practicing. ✅ You practice by learning from every attempt. ✅ You keep refining, adjusting, and moving forward.
