A new quarter kicks off in a week 💥. But instead of excitement, you feel overwhelmed. Starting back at $0 with an empty calendar? Sound familiar? Here’s a 3-step process I’m using with Gong to get a headstart in Q2: 1. Head to the Conversations tab, click Search, and select yourself as the call participant. 🔎 2. Filter by call outcomes like “Answered - Budget/Timing” or “Answered - Follow-Up Requested” (names may vary). 3. Use the Words/Phrases filter to search for terms like “follow-up,” “reach back out,” or “Q2.” Why? It gives you instant context and makes your outreach more timely. Keep it simple

You receive a lot of messages across multiple platforms. Far too many. People send messages to ask you a question. To request information. To share an opinion. And the other person is left hanging every minute you don’t reply. You can’t respond to every message straightaway. But you can acknowledge that you’ve received the message and when you’ll get back to them with a proper response. So for your most important stakeholders, please reply within max. 3 hours. Don’t leave them hanging. --- Get top tips like this every week in your Inbox: https://lnkd.in/djxuA7c

Write a welcome sequence that nurtures subscribers into clients: • Start with a personal greeting. • Ask them who they are are why they signed up. • Provide immediate value—share a quick win. • Build anticipation for what's coming next. • Include a clear CTA to take the next step.

Great Outreach starts with a great list. And that can be super easy! I typically follow these 3 steps: (1) Brainstorm "How do people reveal their intent?" (2) How can I access that information easily? (3) Reach out to people and test Examples in the video

Why Do Customers Only Give One-Word Answers? Ever wonder why customers often give you one-word answers, even when you ask open-ended questions? It’s frustrating, especially when you know that a well-phrased question should unlock deeper insights. But, as Grant Leboff explains in his latest VLOG, https://lnkd.in/eti9nUBx The key to unlocking richer responses isn’t just about the type of question you ask – it’s about the perceived value of answering it. #SalesTips #CustomerEngagement #GrantLeboff #SalesStrategy #CustomerConversations Sticky Marketing Club Ltd

SMMs, what’s at the top of *your* daily schedule? 👀 A few years ago, our day might have kicked off with “coffee run” or maybe “respond to DMs.” But now, we can’t imagine starting our day (or week) without a social listening check. Our weekly check gives us the big picture: how our brand is doing, what people are talking about, and (shh!) what our competitors are up to 🤫 And then our daily check helps us spot fresh insights and opportunities throughout the week 💎 Insight-driven strategy = More business impact 📈

✅ We’ve had a great discovery call ✅ They expressed interest ✅ I’ve shared a follow-up with a breakdown and costs ✅ I’ve shared additional insights that are useful I’m not getting any feedback or progress I send traffic lights 🚦 I write this short email Hi ______, On (date) we spoke about _______. Please let me know if this is 🔴 = Not a good fit 🟠 = Timing not right 🟢 = Let’s do this I look forward to speaking soon BR Martin So far the 4 times I’ve used it it’s worked once and resulted in getting a conversation back on track And three times total 👻 Regardless of the outcome I like it becuase it’s simple It’s easy for the person receiving to reply to, (or not) I’m not looking for explanation for why their reply is “slow” No one has to explain anything I’m focused on what happens next I’m not trying to “bounce to the top of their inbox” I don’t over think it - i send it and I move on There is no passive aggressive under tones No emotion How do you rebuild momentum after an inquiry slows down? #eventspeaker #conferencespeaker #keynotespeaker

Falling is part of the journey. What you do next defines your path. Every fall is a lesson, not a failure. Rise with renewed strength, learn, and push forward. Your response to setbacks shapes your destiny. Embrace falls as chances to grow and refocus. The true test is in rising again, stronger and wiser. It’s this resilience that defines your path and drives you toward success. #bounceback #courage
