Marketers On LinkedIn: The Gift That Keeps On Giving
13
Uh. No. I support this post. Fuck ZoomInfo.
This has become a very a divisive post. It's pretty much (bad execution + Zoominfo) v (marketing + LinkedIn). A real lesser of two evils scenario.ย
Sure. Call it what you want, but I had this experience a few weeks back. Dreadful execution by the ZI sales team
Oof not a one off fuck up then
Somehow they got their mitts on my personal email, and get some weird business outreach there.
It's effin Hotmail!!!
(and yes, I use hotmail, had this address since '99. Also have gmail)

Six times?! Lol those are rookie numbers. You need to triple tap just to get through sometimes
lol this is on my LI feed now
So what you're saying is shitposting is the number one marketing strategy? ๐
If I had the time Iโd carefully recurate my LI connections. Full of recruiters and crap lol
I do it continuously. If I see some shit like this I'll look for why I'm seeing it and if it's a repeat offender they get unfollowed. No exceptions.
I need to start doing that. For years I accepted everyone and now itโs full of people I donโt like lol
Hopefully ZI will notice and get a grip. Yikes.
It's sloppy for sure. Probably some struggling SDRs there. But is there a better way to deal with this instead of bitching on LinkedIn for likes? Definitely. I really don't believe this guy is going to stop using ZI just because he got too many calls from an SDR.ย
My head just exploded from the irony of a company using Zoominfo complaining about spam. Facilitating it is literally their entire business model.
That being said, sounds like the rep in this case made a few mistakes, but thereโs no need to publicly put them on blast.

Isn't demand gen inbound? Why do they even need a database? ๐
But yeah, I agree with everything you said

$1000 says their org has SDRs sitting under marketing rather than sales as well
I won't be taking that bet anyway ๐
I'll go one further and say that every time they don't convert a lead one of the marketing managers messages themย to ask about it and cc's their manager

Yes. You caught me. I'm an undercover marketer. As a prize I will create an unrivalled email cadence for you that guarantees an open rate of 0.69%
ill take two of them
what an incredibly high open rate!!!ย
Lol I was told by marketing last week that a 3% engagement with a posted piece of content was "very high for our industry"

Dude, this is awful if true. Iโm with the bitching, to be honest.
People make mistakes. This could've been an overzealous or struggling sdr with no experience (or sense/empathy/boundaries). BUT... From some comments here, this might not be a mistake. It might actually be their approach. Which would be a very bad look.ย
Two calls is a mistake, not six.
I wonder if this sales person came from Seamless because this is the type of persistent reach out I get from them. Jesus.
See what happens after they demo you...
The AE I had talked to left, so some SDR started lighting me up. Messaging was bad and referenced the wrong month. Not a dick, so I just let him know that it wasn't a fit, and that his sequence/messaging was off.
Thankfully it stopped.ย

Spamming people is the job no?
