Tim's Hack: People are the secret sauce.

Within every organization, there are a lot of different people with different personalities. I like to work through an organization, building relationships and bonds with key contacts. I have found that people, not companies, make the decisions at the end of the day. Focus on the people, and find those within an organization that you connect well with. It really is a differentiator in my experience.

Brandon's Hack: Don't take yourself too seriously

Doing cold outbound calls and emails can get monotonous. I always find time throughout the day to make it more fun. Create a game within the work, craft a personalized cheeky intro email, leave a voicemail every now and again. Makes it all the more worth it when you get a great response.

Power User Spotlight: Eddie Cmehil, Malomo

Eddie's Hack: Be relevant in your outreach

Something we try to do at Malomo is not just get personalized, but remain relevant. eCommerce is an ever-changing industry and the marketers we're talking to are constantly being thrown new channels, ways to reach customers, etc. To stick out, we've seen that we need to do proper research into what matters to the individual we are reaching out to and be as specific as possible as to how we might be able to help them. Figuring out what other technologies they use that we could work with is one way we stay very relevant.

Patrick's Hack: Embrace the "No"

Over time I’ve found that embracing the “No” is one of the best things you can do as a sales person. “Maybe” in sales is the same as “No”, only with “Maybe” you end up wasting a bunch of time and effort chasing something that is never going materialize. “No” saves you time and energy, but also frees the prospect to speak more openly than they would have otherwise. Those insights gained can pay big dividends with the next prospect. So appreciate, embrace, and gain insights from “No”.

Patrick's Hack: Block your calendar

Block that calendar! It is important to stay organized and ensure that you are utilizing every minute of every day. I like to block off my cold call, prospecting, follow-up, etc. times to have a placeholder indicating when I should be moving on. This helps to stay organized and maximize results. Also, switch up those cold-calling/prospecting time blocks to different parts of the day to increase the chances of getting ahold of your prospects.
