About this clip
Strong sales outreach starts with research, not the first email or call. A practical example shows how an account manager prepared to engage a target account by using a business analysis model, mapping key stakeholders, and noticing buying signals like open ERP and CRM job postings and employees updating their profiles with open to work status.
Rather than reaching out cold, the rep first engaged publicly by commenting on the prospect’s content and sharing a relevant resource. From there, he worked with marketing to craft a tailored message and calling script built around relevant success stories, while pulling additional insight from a business development rep’s research and conversations with an internal coach.
Most useful for SDRs, BDRs, account executives, and sales managers looking to strengthen account research and personalize outreach before the first conversation.
