📊 In the digital age, is cold calling still effective? Did you know it takes an average of 8 attempts to reach a prospect via cold call?  This raises crucial questions for sales teams, especially insider sales teams: - Is this approach worth the time and effort? - How do today's customers prefer to be contacted? - What's the most effective way to connect with leads? The answer may lie in your pocket. We've found that texting leads, particularly through WhatsApp offer many advantages: 👀 Increased visibility: WhatsApp demonstrates a strikingly higher open rate of 98%, indicating that nearly all messages sent are read.  🕊️ Less intrusive: A WhatsApp message allows prospects to respond at their convenience. 📬 Persistent presence: Unlike missed calls, messages remain accessible, ensuring your outreach isn't overlooked. 🖼️ Rich media sharing: Easily send product images, brochures, or video demos to enhance your pitch and engage prospects visually. ⏱️ Real-time engagement: WhatsApp's 'typing' and 'read' indicators give valuable insights into prospect responsiveness, allowing you to follow up at the right time. What's your experience with different outreach methods? Share your thoughts below!

99% of cold emails look the same. What happens when something is always the same? People get used to it. People tend to ignore it. People tend to get pissed off. Here's an outreach strategy that will never die: 1. Identify patterns 2. Think of ways to break this pattern 3. Understand your targets (what they care about, what they know/don't know, etc.) 4. Test and repeat Happy prospecting ✌️

Just wow!! That's a really good copy to help anyone. Don't try to sell rather focus on helping and assisting someone and trust me money is a by-product that you will automatically get. So, never feel ashamed of giving free value. #marketing #copywriting #emailmarketing #givefirst #selling #business

'𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹.' (NO! it's not a positive signal, wake up!) Well, 'sometimes' it does convert. But 99.99% they won't. So, don't send it? Well, here are a few things that I felt you can do: 1️⃣ Objection Handling: 'Sure thing! However, I'd love to understand your pain point better and whether or not our solution could actually be relevant and tailor our proposal to your exact need. Would you be free to hop on a quick 30-minute call sometime this week for me to understand your situation better?' 2️⃣ Move on: So, he/she did not get back to you after your objection handling or after you've sent that proposal through. Well, tough life, wipe your tears and move on. Target other key decision-makers in the same company, target his/her downline, other similar companies; bottom line is, there are other channels for you to enter from. 3️⃣ Build relationship: If you've done enough cold outreach, you'd probably know that there's no 'magic' outreach method that will give you a 100% success rate; it's just a numbers game. A hack around it is to try and make that outreach as warm as possible, go to networking events and get to know folks, engage with your prospects on social media, etc. Bottom line is, no! 'Send me your proposal' is usually not a positive signal. The worst enemy of a sales person is being hopeful and wishful thinking. P.S. Would you disagree?

If you're not doing value-first cold outreach, you're already far behind the competition. You see, pitching straight up in cold emails only works when your prospect is aware they need your solution. "Do you need help with cold email?" This will only appeal to the 1% of the market who is thinking about cold emails. Instead, target a higher-level problem. "How many sales appointments did you book last month?" Or even higher level.... BONUS: Add social proof. "I have a case study on how we helped COMPANY increase sales by 40% last month. Want me to send it through?" See how much more effective this is? Next time you're writing a cold email... try this approach and tell me how it works!

📧 Cold emailing is a powerful outreach strategy that can help you connect with potential customers and generate leads. But, what is a cold email? Is an email aimed at gaining a benefit in terms of sales, opportunities or any other dual-sided benefit from someone with whom the sender has no prior relationship or connection. ➡ Is a way to introduce yourself to someone you don’t know and try to build a relationship with them in the hopes of eventually turning them into a customer. ✔ It’s cost-effective and offers high scalability, making it an ideal approach for businesses of all sizes.

Okay everyone involved in cold outreach can you give your feedback on this offer? Good, bad, and the ugly are all welcome. I want to read your comments and think through things that I may be missing. Starting your own venture is hard. I want to deliver something that is valuable to people so let me know if you think this has value: Have you heard the saying: "People buy from people they know and trust?" In cold outreach this is your biggest struggle. Getting people to know and trust you. To form a relationship of trust, you first have to show that you know them. Show people you know them. Then they will trust you and be willing to connect with you. Which drives more sales. Thats the power of personalized and relevant cold emails. It breaks the noise of every day cold emails, driving interest, and ultimately delivering more sales for you. The hard part though? It takes time and practice to know what relevant piece of information will be strong enough to invite action. That's where I come in. I have been doing cold outreach for 4 years. Through my personalized cold outreach, I have booked appointments with P&G, Johnson & Johnson, HBO, Sony, and more. If you'd like emails personalized for top tier accounts, I can do that for you. All I need is your value props, case studies, key accounts you'd like me to reach out to, and your ideal persona (titles) you'd like me to go after. I do the rest. I research the accounts, the contacts at the company, and write the personalized email sequence. #bdrs #sdrs #founders

⚠️ You’re likely making a 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 if part of your role requires you to reach out to new prospects. Here is how you are likely reaching out right now... ➡️ You do some research and come across a company that you want to sell to. ➡️ You research some more to find the decision-maker. ➡️ Armed with this information, you craft a carefully constructed email and then send it off. Fingers crossed! Now, if you are assertive, you won’t stop at the email.   You might make a call, stop by and possibly send several more emails.   Maybe you use technology to help you identify, select, and send email sequences to these people.   Is this working for you?   My guess is that even if you are assertive, you’ll get a 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟬%...if you’re lucky.   There are ways to improve this, such as getting an introduction, using video, and other methods I’ve discussed here before.   But there is one I suggest you try.   It’s what I refer to as accelerating your outreach.   You see, most of us find a name and get excited.   We start our outreach aggressively. However, if we hear nothing back, it will trail off over a few weeks. Eventually, we stop, assuming the person isn’t interested, and move on to the next prospect.   Well, you know what it means when we assume something, right?   A study by the Center for Sales Strategy identified the best way to reach out to a cold or warm prospect as being a slow progression that slowly increases in intensity.   In other words, they suggest a method that is often the opposite of what we are doing.   For example, you might reach out on Day 1, then Day 8, then Day 14, then Day 19, then Day 23, then Day 25, etc.   When you reach Day 29, you would reach out twice. Then, if you get no response, you’d start again. Their studies repeatedly found that we need to warm up prospects to us, which this type of sequence does.   So, if you are struggling with making connections, change how you sequence your outreach to mimic this accelerated approach.   When you change up your rhythm, you’ll change up your results. #prospecting #sales #B2B

𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵? Here's how... 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 1: 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗬𝗢𝗨 Start your emails with  "I just wanted to introduce myself..." or "I'm reaching out to see if you'd be interested in..." 😴 Why it fails:  People are busy. They care about how you can solve THEIR problems, not your company history. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 2:  𝗕𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 Use meaningless buzzwords like "innovative" and "transformative".  Don't clearly explain what you actually DO or the benefits you provide. Why it fails: If your prospect doesn't understand your offer within seconds, they'll move on to the next email. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 3: 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿 Close your email with the classic "Let me know if you have any questions." Why it fails:  This puts all the work on the recipient!  You need to guide them to the next step. Avoid these common mistakes, and you're already on your way to better cold outreach results! 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀? 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗨𝘀𝗅
