re: Outbound Prospecting [part 8]

Time to get rid of your "Any thoughts on my previous email?" follow-up.

Instead, flex your creative muscles with a dope placard GIF that shows off your artistic chops and lets people finally put a face to your name.

Your response rate is gonna skyrocket like it's headed straight to the North Pole. Bonus is the one-time investment in creating the GIF.

*not putting up the gif here since this is an ex-team member who's not in the war room; it's a brief 3-second gif where she moves the placard to the left, giving off a killer expression of curiosity

Creative! Keeps it light and promotes at least a response. If only I was technically savvy enough to make a gif lol.

This isn’t a meme though. It’s the SDR with a placard with a follow-up

I've been utilizing a similar strategy for a long time now. Any time I stop into someone's office and they aren't there/are unavailable, I take a short video of myself outside of the building giving a simple wave. I'll turn that into a .gif and send it out in my follow up email.

Amazing. Ok how about this; In the coming weeks, we're going to be focused on an outbounding blitz. I'll compare my response rates from before and after, and do an update post here.

I love creative content like this. Our prospects are getting bombarded right now with cold calls and getting laughs seems to be the best way in.
