"Chat with me on Teams" - Prospecting tool

A prospect of mine had a "chat with me on Teams" link in his signature. I clicked on it and it worked great.


For other prospects:

Is it too invasive to start a Teams Chat with a non-responsive prospect as a last resort?

Thatโ€™s akin to cold texting a prospect or placing a random meeting invite on their calendar . I wouldnโ€™t go there.

If you arenโ€™t texting, you arenโ€™t trying!

If you do it, I would treat it like texting. Once in awhile, donโ€™t make it part of your campaign

Don't they have to actually open your email to see the chat function? So how do you get them to engage with it?

Well yes, if you have that function. But technically you can start a teams chat with anyone who has teams. This would be unsolicited.

Never tried it and I suspect we aren't exactly set up for it. But then again, I'm not going to check either.

It is invasive. Iโ€™d only try it with extrovert personality type prospects. They have lower chances of getting offended by this tactic.

This would be touchpoint 10+ as a last resort

Never seen this before but would assume itโ€™s for internal use.

Why not? They can still ignore you or ask you to bugger off.
I think it is much less about how you contact someone than responding properly to their reaction.
If you respect when I say "no" we are always all good. :-)

I would try to not invade there unless I have a good relationship and that too as a last resort.

As long as it should save the deal Why Not, you should do whatever it takes. ๐Ÿ˜‰
