It's sad to say it' but this is Henriks last tips about effective prospecting and connecting 🥹 And this is about the actual connecting! But fear not, you'll get plenty of more tips from more of us here at iGoMoon 🥳
So, tips #5: Do not limit yourself by obsessing with specific contact details.
Instead, you can compensate by expanding your connection channels. This is also a natural and organic way of finding out what works better. Since most people are on LinkedIn, why not connect there?
Many times this will allow for a warmer connection. You will automatically have a reason to research someone’s profile, their history, what they write about and if you have a relevant mutual connection. Once again, use whatever warm connections you already have, maybe they can help introduce you? You may spend more time on connecting with fewer, but your hit rate will be better 🎯
However, just because you know someone who knows someone, this does not mean that you automatically will be successful with a simple pitch 🤷🏽♂️ A simple pitch usually means a quick rejection. Again, focus on what the value of speaking with you is. Instead of borrowing someone’s time, you would like them to understand that they are actually investing time by speaking with you. This is when your research will come in handy and help you create relevance.
If you manage to teach someone something they did not know about how they run their business, you have already provided value. You can absolutely do this without pitching the solution.
