LeadIQ<\/a>:<\/p>\nRyan O\u2019Hara: Tactic, number two in a good way to get a higher increase on your response rates is you need to hide your touches. So many sales reps that are out there today will be on the phone with someone. And they’ll be like, \u201cOh, can you send me more info? And they’re like, what kind of info?” And then they give something and they’re like, “All right, I’ll send it to you. And they get off the phone.\u201d Our whole job is to be excited and we want to make our touches excited. So you got to hype your stuff. That means you should be saying something like I’m going to send you the greatest email you’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n
Now remember earlier, Dale Dupree talks about not doing gimmicks and stuff. That brings me to point number three, you need to live up to the hype afterward. Actually send a damn good email. That’s a picture of my mom. She apparently thinks of a huge disappointment in this. I don’t know why I picked it and put this picture and now it just makes you look bad. But the idea is that you should follow the litmus test of if any cold email or cold call you had ever got posted online you should be proud of it. That’s a really easy litmus test that you should get your whole team to think about.<\/p>\n
If I make shitty macaroni art and my mom puts it on the fridge, I should be proud of that macaroni art. And that’s how you want this to be. So make sure you do that stuff. When you’re just starting out. No, one’s going to see your posts. No, one’s going to relate to it. The cool part is whirled a group here and we all can help each other and support each other from this event.<\/p>\n
If you want people to react and go act off of the things that you’re doing, make stuff with your prospects, they don’t have to be customers. I’m going to show you something that’s gonna make me look like a huge jerk. Cause I think Scott was on my podcast at one point. If I get an email, it says, \u201cThanks for the email. We’re not interested at this time.\u201d I’m fine with that. It’s a reply. I can pull that person out of my sequence and stop reaching out to them. But here’s the other cool thing I could do. I could say, “You know what? It’s obviously not a good time to buy. I’m going to have this person on my podcast. So I’ll go have this person, my podcast. And guess what we do over that hour of laughing and recording and splash and water at each other, somehow just got really weird.<\/p>\n
You know, it’s happening, but guess what I can do. I can now actually go and say, I know that person, we usually get on a text basis after like I text everyone that I’ve had on my podcast and what the other cool part is, I’ll go post that podcast and tag that person. If any of you can do it, you all know how to talk If you work in sales, like if you don’t know how to talk, then I dunno, you could, you can write a book or something, but I put a podcast out. I tagged that person. I give them the file to put on their own LinkedIn. They posted out all the people that comment engages on the podcast with that person. I can then prospect those people. And we all know each other like we all know other VPs of sales and VPs of marketing stuff.<\/p>\n
So all these people come in and like them and I’ll prospect them and go, \u201cOh my gosh, it’s another prospect.\u201d And honestly, I’m a huge jerk. Well, how many episodes I’ve done right? Half these people that I’ve done stuff with. I actually think that they have some cool insight and you should definitely check out my podcast, but I’m not plugging that what I’m plugging is I’ve done a ton of these episodes like half the reason I’ll do some of these is because these guys will be like, I want to break into this account. And I’m like, all right, I’ll get to know them a little bit more and you know will happen, five or six months later, they’ll come in and they will actually turn into a customer inbound and we’ll give it credit back to the SDR for that.<\/p>\n
