Use email as your hub and other channels as your spokes with your CTA on the other channels pointing back to your email. The email channel can get flooded; get creative with other channels like Twitter. Vin was able to book a meeting off of a backward jump shot. Use email to keep threading throughout your sales cycle. One way to do this is through direct mail.

were featured in, and leverage that in your outreach. One example that I had was I was meeting with a CEO, and I read through their funding announcement where they wanted to 2x revenue and bring a new product to market. And initially, that wasn't the use case. And we were able to uncover new use cases that helped us competitively to ultimately win the deal. Beautiful. What's number two? “Number two, use direct mail to deepen connections.” Direct mail should not be used just for top of funnel. You shouldn't rely on your SDRs sending Starbucks gift cards and trying to get meetings that way. The way I'm using direct mail is for open opportunities to strengthen the relationships and get more multithreaded. So for example, one of the templates that I typically send to folks to become more multithreaded
In Direct mail
And so if you remember what I said earlier, email is my main hub. It's where everything, the value prop, the call-to-action hook is gonna live. I use all the other channels as ways to get their attention back to my email. And I use LinkedIn in the same way. And so what I'm doing on LinkedIn is I'm connecting with my prospects, I'm commenting on their posts, I'm engaging with them. “I basically just want them to know my name.” And by the way, I've put some time into building up my brand and my network. So if they do make it to my LinkedIn page, it's kind of like a landing page. It's like a resume that they can. Most cases, I'm trying to engage with them, share content with them just so they know

If you guys remember that there was like a meme going on about red flags, like, oh, this is a red flag in a guy or an employer. One of my prospects made a LinkedIn post about red flags and it was about lead flow, red flags or whatever. And I commented on it, you know, laughed, whatever. “The same day I sent her an email with red flags as the subject line.” And then I said, Hey, I know that's a big red flag. And then I tied it into the demand based value prop. So it's using the LinkedIn content. And again, I'm always just going back to email. Like I rarely book meetings over these other platforms, but I do get responses on the other platforms, which is very important. I'm curious, you're taking five to 10 accounts and you're splitting these up above
