Stop looking at your open rates for a second.

We need to talk about why your AI SDR metrics are stuck in 2020, and what the real players are measuring in 2024.

The Hidden Problem

While everyone's obsessing over activity metrics, they're missing the signals that actually matter.

Let me break down what's really working.

The New Metrics Playbook

  1. Conversation Quality Score (CQS) Old way: Counting calls New way: Measuring meaningful engagement

Think about it:

  • Would you rather have 100 dead-end conversations?

  • Or 10 that move deals forward?


  1. Predictive Lead Value (PLV) Old way: Basic lead scoring New way: AI-powered value forecasting

This isn't just scoring - it's predicting which leads will actually convert.

  1. Response Time Optimization (RTO) Old way: Fixed follow-up schedules New way: AI-optimized timing

Fact: This can boost response rates by 50%.

  1. Personalization Effectiveness Ratio (PER)


    Old way: Mail merge fields
    New way: Deep personalization tracking


Boosting LinkedIn outreach with vibrant, multicolored abstract backgrounds and smooth organic shapes.

"{First_Name}"

Because "{First_Name}" isn't personalization anymore.

  1. AI Learning Velocity (ALV) Old way: Static performance New way: Improvement tracking

Your AI should get better over time. Are you measuring that?

  1. Human-AI Collaboration Score (HACS) Old way: AI vs. humans New way: AI + humans

Because it's not about replacement - it's about enhancement.

  1. Multi-Touch Attribution Old way: Last-touch attribution New way: Full journey analysis

Double your conversion rates by understanding what actually works.

The Metrics to Kill

Stop tracking:

  • Number of outreach attempts

  • Generic open rates

  • Busy work metrics

They're noise, not signal.
