Best Practices
Always ask for referrals with your outreach efforts.
Once you get a referral, read all about the prospects to identify high potential prospects based on their profile and other details.
Find several prospects that have the same general problem and 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.
Start with the referral and then reach out to others in the company.
Create a tailored offering for each segment and content to get them interested.
Modify the following email sequence and tailor it to your offer and content.
Launch multiple campaigns for each segment identified.
