@paulg It does work surprisingly often. For SDRs the risk is worth the reward. A lot of sales tactics that seem dumb to a non-salesperson but are commonly done anyway are usually done because they work

Hey Paul, just following up.

THE MARINERS ARE GOING TO PLAY FOR THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! #SeizeTheMoment

@corbtt That would shake things up

Every app out there building an AI assistant into its UI is on the wrong side of history. You will provide a full-featured API, and I will use *my* assistant to get what I want from you. If you refuse to provide an API, I will use your competitor. Major implications for SaaS

@Kellen_the_man @sammarelich Update

@sammarelich Outreach used to train reps making them sell pizzas b2b the blue haired SDR leader Sam did it I think

Lock in, fellas. The B2B SaaS market just got a whole lot bigger.

Some wins are just a little bit sweeter.

@paulg Maybe they hate it just as much, but found that it converts well and do it for that reason.

It's a bad sign when a site forces you play a video to learn what they offer. They won't let you jump around a text explanation. You're going to hear the words they want you to hear, in the order they want, at the speed they want. How can anything made by such people be good?

@thesamparr Sounds awesome! Please do this even if people think it's not "tastefully done."

ANNOUNCEMENT: Today I'm launching something that, if done poorly, will make me sound like such an entitled ass. It's called MoneyWise, a podcast that reveals personal finances of high net worth people. The topics being discussed...they can sound super dbag if done incorrectly. Monthly expenses, asset allocation, emotional stuff. These convos rarely happen publicly. I'm lucky with Hampton and my career that I'm able to hear these private convos. But now we'll share some of them with you. And so if you're curious...MoneyWise will be a way to hear conversations that only happen privately. God willing...MoneyWise will be ***tastefully done*** so we have these interesting convos without sounding like asses. Our first episode: "At what liquid net worth did you stop worrying?" One of our guests sold his company for $250m at 31. Another guest makes $15m/year in personal income as a lawyer. We ask them at what number did they stop worrying. Answers were drastically different. Each guest reveals their net worth, monthly expenses, portfolio, and more details (stuff people rarely share!). You can check it all out in the next tweet.

@corbtt This is a really good point

tbh open source models can win just by being 10% less terrified of being sued.

@WillAllred117 And a reminder to SDRs. That prospect may accidentally pick up!

I just answered my first cold call in forever. It was pleasant. Just a reminder to the people like me that accidentally pick up... there's a person on the other end of the phone doing their job. It doesn't cost anything to be nice. PS. Prospecting tip... picking up the phone makes email work better. Data supports it. PPS. Emailing thoughtfully also makes the phones work better too :)

@LeadWaveAi Be a full-time SDR Leader (managing reps or SDR Managers full-time) and apply at SDRLeader.com

@realSamNelson How do I join SDR leader?

I've never seen a video that more accurately describes LinkedIn

@paulg @SabrinaHalper Isn't it sometimes sales/distribution?

@SabrinaHalper It's not just that. When technical founders are missing something, it's in another dimension: fierceness. Fierceness and technical skill are equally the bottleneck. Woz without Jobs gets nowhere.

I know so many people looking for a technical co-founder right now I never hear technical people looking for non-technical co-founders lol Technical skills are still the bottleneck

@SabrinaHalper Have you ever heard of a technical person who needs better sales and distribution? "Non-technical" by itself is not very exciting, but a person who can improve sales/distribution can be useful even if they don't write code well

@morganjingram I’ll buy it for that 😂 I don’t think that company knows the difference between b2b and b2c creators

My Twitter worth is: $8,406.55 ➡️ anyplacehere.me/twitterworth

@JustWillAitken It sounds like what you would hear from a kind old man who would prefer not to swear

For whatever reason North Americans find my British swears less offensive So I use “bollocks”, “wanker”, and “bellend” liberally at work

@30_mpc Great! Yep, doing it this way makes it easy to use the same sequence across personas and industries 💥

@JeffreyWhitlock Say something politically incorrect?

I had the odd experience of trying to convince someone via email that I was a real person, not an AI, and I struggled to determine how to prove it. We're on the verge of entering a wild world...

@ohpinion8ted But what if you could save $20?

I just want to say that getting up at 3am to make an early morning flight is extremely over-rated.

@davegerhardt @exit5marketing SDRLeader.com Super niche. A few thousand full-time SDR Leaders. I've only done company sponsorships so far but that has gone pretty well

I am looking to connect with other community builders / media company creators here. I created Exit Five (@exit5marketing) a media company focused on the niche of B2B marketing. - 2M people will see our LinkedIn content this year - 3,000+ people pay $10-$20/month for access to our private community (that's like a mini SaaS company!) - 15,000 people listen to our podcast/month - 12,000 people get our emails Anyone else building a business like this in a niche?
