Today I\u2019ve got another quick clip from my conversation with Clari\u2019s #1 AE, Lynn Powers, on the Sales Success Stories Podcast. Check out this little nugget:<\/p>\n<p>Lynn Powers: I like to text first. Is that weird? I&#8217;m like, &#8220;Hey, I&#8217;m going to call you in a second.&#8221; They&#8217;re like, &#8220;Who is this texting me.&#8221; And then I call and they&#8217;re like, Okay, I&#8217;m very curious now. And so I think just mixing up how you communicate or how you get in touch with people is going to make that call a lot more impactful. The other thing is I think people are just itching for it. To be honest with you, I don&#8217;t think that the camaraderie that I used to remember when we were doing like war room cold call sessions at Oracle are something that organically can happen in a remote world. One person can be on speaker, but you can&#8217;t have all ten of you on speaker at the same time cold calling, it doesn&#8217;t make sense, right?<\/p>\n<p>And so I think building that muscle is important and so the way that I do that is I sit in short zooms with different folks that I think are really good at their job and we just bounce back and do cold calls together. And I think having that accountability partner is one thing of I can get through this call list. I have to prepare a call list because this other person is also going to be calling with me and I don&#8217;t want to waste their time just as much as I don&#8217;t want to waste my own. But the discipline that it takes to do that independently, I don&#8217;t think a lot of people will take the time to do or they&#8217;ll be easy to back out of that to-do list or cross it out or put it on a low priority.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Ingram: For my full interview with Lynn on the <a href=\"http:\/\/top1.fm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sales Success Stories podcast<\/a>, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/top1.fm\/episode-147-lynn-powers-of-clari-how-lynnergy-resilience-help-her-overcome-adversity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">episode 147<\/a> or just click over to <a href=\"http:\/\/DailySales.Tips\/1247\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DailySales.Tips\/1247<\/a> and we\u2019ve got the links for you there.
