Innovative ways to break in to an account

I'm looking for innovative ways to stand out from the crowd with prospecting. As an example I've hand delivered donuts to clients with a note that said "Are you leaving holes in your security?"


I'm keen to hear if anyone has any cool tactics or approaches they use, both virtual and in person.

We just started using Postal.io, too soon to tell how well it works but handwritten notes mailed to someone have always worked wonders.

You know why? Because it's the thought behind it. You took the time to do it. Everyone is so lazy with email and automation now.

Yup, when my team was working out in the field we would drop them off my hand and our hit rate on those was like 75%-80%

I walk up in there with sweets (and one packaged just for the admin) and SOMEONE from whatever team you are targeting WILL come up and get them. Slap a sticker on the top of the box w logo and my contact deets - someone will say thank you. If they dont say thank you, prob want to cross that company off the list.
