Send an email sequence to prospects asking to discuss a topic of mutual interest. First, you will introduce the topic and ask for some time to discuss it; then, you will explain the value your product or service can offer the prospect. Follow-up emails will share additional insights into the topic, best practices, success stories, and content to educate the prospect on your offering and help accelerate their buying decisions.

Introductory Email: Introduce yourself and let them know you want to discuss a topic of mutual interest. Introduce your relevant offering and how it applies to the topic you want to discuss.

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.
