Yet another CEO that was a VP of Sales and is complaining about salespeople. Feel bad for the people that reported to these clowns.

Nah that’s too much even for bravo, maybe the oxygen network is a better place.

Or like a ‘REAL WORLD: LINKEDIN” on MTV2

If this hurts you then you’re probably a bad rep. Be better, not butthurt.

I love that he edited to say the bot should go after the CEO/VP of Sales instead. Chef's kiss

I love that people are downvoting me for making the point that shitty effort leads to shitty results and due ridicule. Bitch asses.

The SDR pool is typically 22/23 year old recent college grads without a lot of experience who are asked by their managers to spam irrelevant or otherwise poorly created "content" to target personas. They lack the clout and experience to push back against it, so their managers and leadership deserve the scorn. If you're still putting in that kind of effort at the AE level or above, you're fair game.

That there should be AI to waste salespeople’s time in response to their outreach.

Lmao Hector is being a cunt for exposure.

Pete’s post is accurate and is in response to the absolute trash that sales people hang their hats on these days. LinkedIn cold pitches that lack context and personalization and is often inaccurate and a total waste of time.

People like this are so infuriating and the hypocrisy is off the charts.

Years ago, I was in the market for a tool to provide contact information, such as ZoomInfo.

I visited a particular company's webpage and it wasn't long before their sales team reached out to me. Super nice and very helpful. At the end of the project, I ended up going with another tool and I informed them of this.

They continued to call me twice a month for the next 3 years, all the while I told them the project had been completed and they can remove me from their system.

Their CEO posted something similar, basically trash talking sales people who wouldn't leave him alone. I replied saying it was an odd thing to post considering the sales people in his org were doing the exact same thing that he's complaining about.

He responds saying they don't do anything of the sort. Well, it just so happened to be that two week reminder to give me a call, because sure enough, my phone rings with "CEO's Company" as teh caller ID. I screenshot it, and post the photo as a reply with the caption of "This you?". And you know what his repsonse was??
THAT MFER BLOCKED ME.

Would genuinely like to see an example of what Peter dignifies as cold outreach if he's going to post and say he never, in his 40+ years of line (based on the hairline), has never compromised his principles.

Not a defense, but I’m an AE and I get cold emails daily. I just unsub and move on, but the types of emails are just lazy. Lazy because I’ll get outreach for products where a Quick Look at my LinkedIn would show I’m 100% not their ICP.
