Absolutely, what usually helps me connect is: Personalize your message to each contact. Show that you've thought about them and their expertise. A generic message will be less likely to get a response. For example, you could mention something specific you admire about their work or a recent project they were involved in. Keep your message clear and concise. Get straight to the point and avoid rambling. People are busy, so respect their time by keeping your message focused. Offer value in return. When you're reaching out to someone for help, consider what you can offer them in return. This could be an introduction to someone in your network, a piece of information you think they might be interested in, or simply your time and expertise.

What has been helpful for me too is… Include relevant keywords that people might search for to find someone with your skills. Intriguing and clear: It should be clear what you do, but also spark curiosity to learn more. Example: "Social Media Marketing Expert | Building Brands & Engagement" Focus on value: Highlight your key skills and achievements, and how you can benefit potential clients or employers. Quantify your impact: Did you increase website traffic by 20%? Use numbers to showcase your success. Action verbs: Use strong verbs to emphasize your skills and experience. Keep it concise: Aim for 2-3 sentences that pack a punch. Fresh content: Keep your profile dynamic by showcasing new skills or completed projects.

Some other things that have helped me drive lead generation via social media Focus on platforms like Instagram and TikTok that emphasize visual content. Offer free downloadable resources like ebooks or white papers in exchange for contact information. Run social media ad campaigns targeting your ideal customer profile. Host webinars or live Q&A sessions to capture leads. Utilize LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms or Twitter lead capture cards to streamline lead collection. Respond to comments and messages promptly. Share customer testimonials and success stories. Run polls and ask for feedback to show you value their opinion. Utilize community features on platforms like Facebook Groups to foster conversation among your audience.

Great Sales Managers act as the bridge between sales and the company's broader strategy. They set clear sales goals and metrics, ensuring alignment with the overall business objectives, and adapt strategies based on market trends and competitor analysis. Great Sales Managers leverage data and analytics to identify trends, opportunities, and areas for improvement. They translate insights into actionable strategies to optimize sales processes, improve resource allocation, and maximize team effectiveness. Great Sales Managers play a critical role in motivating and supporting their team. They provide constructive feedback, coaching, and recognition, fostering a positive and performance-driven environment. Your first line manager is critical!

I love CSMs as an AE, especially if I can grow accounts! CSMs closely monitor customer usage and feedback, identifying opportunities to recommend additional services or features that align with the customer's evolving needs, leading to increased revenue and account growth. CSMs also act as a bridge between the customer and the company, providing valuable customer insights and feedback that can be used to improve the product, refine marketing strategies, and enhance the overall customer. Great CSMs don't wait for issues to arise. Their proactive approach helps identify and address potential problems early on, minimizing disruption and enhancing customer satisfaction. Because of this, they build business cases that help me sell more!

AEs like me excel at building relationships and understanding business needs, but I don’t possess the in-depth technical expertise to address complex customer inquiries or product configurations. That’s where the SE steps in, providing the technical knowledge and understanding to confidently navigate technical discussions and demonstrate how the software solves customer’s specific problems. This translates to increased credibility with potential customers, who are reassured by the presence of a dedicated technical expert. Great SEs can demonstrate and customize the software to align perfectly with the customer's specific needs and use cases.
