I still haven't gotten my head around the best way to do it. Are you just sending... are you sending a connect request with no message? Are you sending a super tailored message in the request? Are you doing an in mail? What's that LinkedIn outreach look like? Just to stand out in the immediate, having a note's really important. “I also decline any note” hey Sarah, I want to tell you about my product or something that's really generic. I prefer when someone writes something that showcases their personality and the fact that they actually took the time to understand at least a little bit of who I am as a person. So I thought if that's how I feel about it,
within 10 minutes of sending the email. So are you literally putting the first sentence of your email just in the subject line instead of using like a catchy subject line that you're hoping gets an open? Are you basically transitioning that line into the subject? So I try to do things that are like what I would have said in the first sentence anyway, or. “Allie, saw your LinkedIn share.” And then the next sentence is, in the body, read your calling all hustlers, in quotation marks, because that's what she says, and hiring for remote BDRs. Sales leaders at companies like, and then I throw in, their biggest competitor that uses our tool, leverage our solution to surface winning behaviors from top performers.
Yeah. So the phone rings. Ring, ring. And you say hi. Hello. Nice day. Hey Arman, this is Sarah Brazier with Gong on a recorded line. Have you been? Sure. Yeah, I've been fine. How are you? I'm doing great. Thanks for asking. Hey, I know that there is no good time for a cold call, so I can keep it super brief. “Is it cool with you if I tell you the reason why I called” makes sense for you to either hang up on me or continue the conversation? I know you guys over at Gong. What's going on? Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Yeah. Well, I was gonna ask if I can give you the high level of what we do, but I don't know anything about Carter right now. But I'd say something like, Hey, I noticed that Carter has grown like 20% over the past six months, your sales work.
We actually put together an entire resource hub with Pipedrive to help you get to precedence club and you can get them for free in the 30 MPC Pipedrive closures hub. The link is in the show notes. Our top four takeaways from the episode with Sheriff Brazier include number one, write like a human, especially in your LinkedIn DMs. No over formal language. “Number two, leverage up by reaching out to ICs and then get those referrals up to the” VPs. Number three, tell them it's a cold call. Yo, it's a cold call. Then ask for permission to sell before you start selling. And then number four, use that same permission based selling in your upfront contract. Get them to buy into the agenda. Nick, how do people help us out?
