With every channel saturated, the way to cut through the noise is to leverage an existing relationship to get in front of high-intent buyers. "Less than 24 hours after launching our first campaign, we booked three meetings, generated two new sign-ups, and 2X'ed conversion rates" - Co-founder & CMO at Salesmaker "We generated higher quality conversations than previous efforts. Insights also helped us measure the attribution of my posts to existing sales opportunities.” - Eric Stark, CEO of Slate "90% reduction in cost to get the same results as a team of SDRs & 2X'ed conversion rates" - Founder at Seed stage SaaS "20X increase in referrals by activating existing customers" - Series B Enterprise Software Over two years, we ran 50+ GTM experiments, including Slack communities, warm intros, converting LinkedIn followers, special offers in emails, SMS, carrier pigeons, and more. What consistently outperformed? 🥇 Leaning on an existing relationship 🥇 Strong buying intent signals 🥇 LinkedIn was the best-performing channel The challenge is that warm intro tools and buying intent tools sit on two separate platforms. Buyers want consolidation. Buyers want to operationalize as soon as possible. Every week, get high-intent leads one degree away from the seller's network deployed into existing workflows accompanied with a sales enablement plan to operationalize.
