Best Practices

• Assign someone to monitor blogs that interest potential prospects.

• Read posts and comments made and identify potential prospects based on their engagement, interest, and challenges.

• Find several companies that have the same general interest, challenge, or require the same skills. Build a prospect list. You may end up with several segments of prospects that have different needs.

• You can use LinkedIn or the company website to identify the right team of people that will make a buying decision. Target multiple people in a company. Once you identify the people in a company, use a service to find their email address and contact information.
