CAN I ASK WHY DA HELL YOU NEED TO SEND 200+ CONNECTION INVITES PER DAY? SDR's WHO DO NOT TAKE THE GAME RULES; should be BANNED. I am writing this post being very angry. You see, I am in many Telegram and Facebook communities. Some of them are good, some are bad, but still, it is good to hear what people talk about. In many of these communities, people complain about Linkedin's restrictions. While I do not agree with all of them, some seem fair. Guess what restriction is the most hated? The one that does not let you send 100+ connection invites from a shady Linkedin account. And you know who complains the most? SDRs and Lead generators Guess in which field/industry? Software development. Crypto traders. Look at this fellow; he did not even bother to check who was in his ICP. I don't even have a potential need for his stuff. I was so f...king angry the other day with this guy, you cannot imagine. See why in the first comment. These companies and SDRs called in other terms "appointment setters" bother me every "f###ing day" with lead gen requests and offers. 0 - personalization included AND The so-called lead gen influencers share in their sad telegram channels how evil is Linkedin and how you can cheat Linkedin to connect with hundreds of not knowing about their needs clients. INSTEAD. FIGURE YOUR Ideal Client Profile (it's not that hard) COME UP WITH POSITIONING (reframe your solution's benefits into value for the client) TEST the New positioning WITH NEW/old CLIENTS If the messaging/new sales pitch works CLIENTS who get it will need fewer sales meetings You have found the ELDORADO! No need to send 200+ invitations/day

Hire a full-time CMO?! Hire an agency?! Try doing marketing myself?! Can I do it right? I need to decide. This is the dialogue inside the heads of many CEOs and founders who never hired a marketer. I have met many of those. The whole issue and confusion come because most decision-makers don't know how to control, hire or keep accountable a marketer. That is why they go with the safest choice. That is very often why the first marketing hire is a freelancer. It is natural that you want to try someone or experiment before you hire a full-time marketer or Chief marketing officer. Test the ground. Experiment. Do a pilot. Mitigate risks. As a freelancer, your role is to educate them about marketing, or they will never understand marketing. Who should be the first marketing hire? Freelancer Full-time marketer or CMO Fractional Chief of Marketing Agency

🕴️How Salesflare grew to 2000+ users in the ultra-competitive CRM market🍗 I could summarize the post in a few words: The secret to growth is ….. in building a great product! BUT I don’t want to leave you hanging in there, here are some nuggets: 🍗Nugget 1# Building a great product for your customers makes marketing the product a lot more genuine and allows you to play the “longer game” as Salesflare co-founder & CEO, Jeroen Corthout, puts it. 🍗🍗Nugget 2# Find products for your customers and not vice versa In fact, every month, Salesflare adds 2 new “loveable features” to grow their product and Salesflare has managed to add depth without adding unnecessary complexity. 🍗🍗🍗Nugget 3# Build habits and create processes out of them by delivering value: 2 loveable features per month 1 onboarding improvement 1 high-value article that brings search traffic 2 valuable contributions outside of their own audience (to podcasts, events, webinars, articles, …) Kudos to Stefanos F. Bournias for writing the article. Did you like it? For more nuggets, read the full article, link in comments. #sales #crm #product

Most of us in the B2B industry are used to thinking of content in the form of blog posts, ebooks, and case studies rather than videos 🤔 Yet, there is a huge untapped potential, especially for SaaS products. Why? You can make a complex product easier to understand. 🎥 😩 The challenge: People have short attention spans, and we feel overwhelmed in creating content that's engaging, short, entertaining, and professional all at once. 💡 The answer? Be clear on your objectives! Make video a part of your marketing funnel, employing strategies like product demos, tutorials, or explainer videos. Reuse this content to educate your potential customers at every step of your marketing funnel. And ultimately, remember it's all about storytelling! ☝ Now there is a fine line between being salesy and authentic. Don't think of YouTube as a platform to sell but rather as a platform to connect and build a community. So, show the people who make the magic happen - introduce your team and humanize your brand 💫 The cherry on top? YouTube's immense data potential. Leveraging YouTube's AI and analytics tools, you can understand your audience better and refine your position, messaging, content, and targeting. 📊🔍 If your brand already has a YouTube channel, drop it the comments, and let's support each other. 🤝🔗 #b2bmarketing #youtubemarketing #youtube #content #marketing #b2b #storytelling #video #branding

Expensive software vs. skill and creativity in #b2bmarketing - who will win? A few months ago, I talked to the CEO of one company looking to go beyond the "lead gen approach." They are selling machine learning solutions, and their market is the world itself. It felt like something I had heard many many times, before. The point of this discussion was to find out what the executive thinks about a demand generation program. I was astonished to hear: "We never did Account-Based Marketing or Demand Generation because it is costly!" How much you think it is, I asked: " First, you need to buy software like Terminus (4500 USD/month, more than what I charge), then you need to add Zoominfo to the info (another 2000 USD/month), and then you have to spend money on creating content." He could not be more wrong. I don't need software that costs more than my monthly salary, nor do we need Zoominfo data. The data is helpful, but imagine how many people they already sell that data to?! You will be competing with your ads to capture the attention of x number of companies. Meanwhile, there is plenty of other fish in the sea they know nothing about! He took some time to think about it, and we are discussing a pilot with him but How many people think the same? 100, 1000, a million?
