Em Downham 🚢

Old school b2b lead gen tactics just don’t have the kick they used to 😬. Recently @DemandInsights featured Axonius' CMO @nathanwburke. He shared 5 key changes he’s seen in the lead gen space over the past 10 years. I nodded the entire episode. Let me break them down👇

@DavidWShepherd Solid advice @DavidWShepherd at work we use Lattice for 1:1 which is a great way to see comms between my manager and I. It’s helpful!

Last week, a good friend told me they were being promoted to Manager. They asked for my help. I've been thinking about everything that goes into being a great manager. And the simplest way to improve your results as a manager is to take notes. But their is a twist... 🧵

Stellar advise from @PeterDutton_MP to “upgrade your passwords” and to rotate them regularly (what for?). Very handy for when sophisticated hackers steal 200GB of data from the cloud, having absolutely nothing to do with customer passwords. P.S use a password manager #auspol

@brandondigital I think it depends where you sell but Hubspot’s resources aren’t too bad.

@emjdownham We aren’t at the revenue threshold yet but I just wanted to prepare myself. Probably worth just lawyering up lol

Anyone have any good resources for GDPR and CCPA that are in layman’s terms?

@brandondigital Haha I like them all! No help. Hit send does have a ring to it…

Going to kick off my own newsletter this weekend. Topics: marketing, automation, email, growth Working on a few names: - Hit Send - Beyond the Inbox - The Flow - One2Many Thoughts?

@brandondigital Intercom!

We’re going to be looking for new in-app messaging and analytics platforms. Need suggestions plz

@JosephineBTendo I love learning about new tech, this is great. Thanks for sharing. Automation is life!

As a new online coach or consultant, one of the hardest to do is to land your first few clients. I've been at this for about 4 yrs, and in the last year, this one tool has helped me streamline my booking experience, which makes the sale much easier... 👇️

@AlezeiaB @Grammarly Haha. By day 25 you’ll forgive yourself.

That feeling when you realise you published a #ship30for30 essay with typos. In the heading.🤦‍♀️ Enter @Grammarly 🚀 The only tool I've uninstalled, regretted it, and got it back.

@raisinteens Great post, Rachel. I love the visual with this. Makes it easy to comprehend 👏

@AlezeiaB The formatting of this post is on point! I’m going to shoot this through to a few product friends. Thanks for sharing.

Want to create products that customers want? Then make time for regular discovery.

@JosephineBTendo Sorry for the creepy wink - was meant to be a smile :)

Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, DISC, et cetera... Tools for growth? Or excuses to stay stuck? What say you? This is what I think... 👇️

@JosephineBTendo Ha! 100% agree. This summarises the issue with personality tests so we’ll. Well done ;)

@raisinteens I love this post - while it's aimed at teens I feel parent's of young children can take a lot out of this too. Specifically when considering words like "you're so smart" etc. (I'm so guilty of this!) Well done on shipping this piece, Rachel.

@TimMulholland Great post - I invested in my first ever proper pair of running shoes last year and discovered I'd been wearing two sizes too small most of my life. I love my running shoes now and they make a world of difference. Thanks for sharing, Tim. 🏃‍♀️

Runners, if you're aiming for a 5K PB, your first marathon, or like me coming back from an injury you can't afford to ignore the elephant in your shoes. Here's how to tackle and tame the beast.

@JosephineBTendo @ship30for30 Hooley Dooley! Firstly, I know you’re ok but I’m sorry that happened to you. That’s not cool. Secondly, good on you for seeing the good in the situation.

Today's officially Day 1 of #Ship30for30, and I'm starting off with a story about how my best friend dumping me was the best thing she could've done for me. Seriously. I wouldn't have even joined @ship30for30 if she'd stuck around. Enjoy!

@TimMulholland @dickiebush @Nicolascole77 @ship30for30 Brilliant essay, Tim 👏

I've been conned. Swindled by @dickiebush & @Nicolascole77 and yet I've never been more excited to hit publish on anything. There is something in this @ship30for30 Fellow shippers, can't wait to read your work.

@JosephineBTendo Great post! So many people will resonate with this, myself included. 😅 I’m looking forward to hearing about the new part to your business! Will that be an atomic essay :)?

I started becoming a perfectionist at 10yrs old. If I could back and talk to myself as a little girl, I'd tell her it's okay to make more mistakes. Here's why... #Ship30for30 #AtomicEssay

@AlezeiaB Fantastic article, Alezeia! And I totally agree most women have these attributes in spades. What made you move to being a VC?

Do you love helping folks do their best work? Then a career in early stage venture capital could be for you. Here are the top 3 skills that will help you succeed in venture (pro-tip: women have them in spades)

@DavidWShepherd Haha 😂 I noticed your absence.

I went away for 2 days, fly fishing in the backcountry. I get back and have 21 Twitter notifications. That’s more than if I had been tweeting daily and publishing articles. Two thoughts: 1. I have to improve my writing 2. Twitter the algorithm misses me more than my followers

@brandondigital Yay!!!

Shoutout to @emjdownham for the book and Australian sweets! Can’t wait to dig into both
