The seven-touch sales sequence was built for a time when sales teams had little visibility into buyer behavior. Today, rigid follow-up cadences often create noise, waste attention, and mistake activity for progress. Persistence still matters, but it should be guided by context, timing, and intent, not by a predetermined number of touches.
