The answer to hitting your numbers and crushing your goals in Q2 with cold emails lies within.
Crush your goals in Q2
BDRs! Want to know how to hit your # in Q2 with cold email? 🧐
2 weeks ago, I spoke to Maurits Pieper on how his team is crushing it.
The answer?
Working with partners.🤝 Here’s what Maurits described:
One SDR was eager to hit their number. 💪
Knowing that partnerships make for easier, warmer, & faster introductions and conversations, they wanted to work more with partners.
Maurits (on the partner team) enabled the SDR with the right info - the accounts that use partners today & what those partners do.
The SDR then referenced these partners in their outreach to show relevancy in their message to prospects.
The result? 💡
The SDR had a significant increase in meetings booked + qualified leads. 📈
Further, the account executive had an easier time closing deals with partners, leading to faster & larger deals closed too. 🤯
Then, every other sales rep was looking to work with partners.
Why does it work?
As Will Allred from Lavender says - it’s not just about personalization; it’s about relevancy.
Mentioning partners in your outreach = understanding their situation.
Trust is built faster (and shows you are already trusted by those they already spend money with).
You’ll know more about the prospect and what’s important to them.
So what should you do? ✍️
✅1) You can listen to the full episode on the Howdy Partners Podcast
✅2) Ask your partner team for an account list that uses partners + brief overviews of those partners.
✅3) Email me, and I’ll help you navigate this. — Will Taylor
