Sales Tiktoks - Yes or No?

The other day I opened up tiktok looking forward to some stupid cat videos and others that would make me question what the algorithm thinks of my mental health.


Instead of berries and cream, I got accosted by some SDR trying to influence me about cold calling.


Let's keep it short and sweet.

The answer is no, go straight to influencer jail.


Now I'm off to go watch BennyBlanco take the piss out of Charlie Puth.

I think its a great fucking idea and anyone that disagrees can keep their head up their ass. We're almost in 2022, you think old prospecting methods still work for everything? You need to be adapting and using multi channel outreach. I'm talking videos in your inbox, sing-song pitches, tik-toks, physical mail... you get my gist. I support you @InQ5WeTrustย

I think they are so beneficial. Its almost as effective as following some fitness guru on IG that takes steroids but says all you need to do is walk 10 minutes a day and you'll get shredded

Not a fan at all. I get the hustle but Iโ€™ve found the more of an influence you are the less you actually can do. In my marketing days I met so many influencers and was blown away by how dated their knowledge is. Theyโ€™re appealing to super entry level folks and provide no substance if you know much past your ABCs. However, a corp bro skit video about a VPs job being solely to ask the team if they updated Salesforce? Oh hell yeah. Upvote/like all day. Iโ€™m on Instagram to laugh/ be entertained not be told that mirroring is a 5D Chinese checkers move in sales.

Amen on this. The worse it's a cycle of shitty information, as they all reuse each other's material.

Don't have a Tiktok and not really a fan of most social media. Bravado is about as close as I get. That being said, it's a hard no from me. Unless, of course, they find a way to make it entertaining. If you can make me laugh I'm more likely to listen to what you're saying. Might lead to me buying what you're selling.

Honestly is it worth getting this app for shits & giggles?

At least on Insta I've built a feed that's both funny and informative for my interests.

Has anyone done that there?ย

I never got into it until I had covid and scrolling through netflix seemed like too much effort.ย 

Its a low effort time sink, not sure how much is actually gained from being on the platform.ย

Yeah, I'm all for sales tik toks. I have met some really cool people using Tik Tok and it can lead to other connections.ย 

It's the 21st century... networking has evolved and almost any channel can be used for personal gain. capitalize on it

I like them! when executed properly and inserted into Linkedin for example targeting the buyer audience.ย 
I've seen some really cool ones and they do get a lot of traction.ย

Check for example Tom Boston, SDR at Salesloft. His target audience is of course sellers, and he's got quite a funny way of doing these TikTok videos, while subtly introducing SLย  https://www.tiktok.com/@tom_boston/video/6989550294589836549?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1

Nobody wants to see me hunched over shoving dollar menu burgers (no pickles) in my mouth between calls as I rub my tonsils muttering, โ€œwhat the fuck am i doing with my life.โ€ Then the tiktok ends.
