starting this becouse there is no good central place for talk about exec-level targeting.
i do this few years now. mixed results but i know what is working.
use thread for:
- share your stage, ask feedback
- war stories (win and fail both)
- find caller, affiliate, support
i give real feedback if you post real detail. lurker is ok but contribute something.
no LE. no student. dont waste others time.
good thread finaly. i am early on C-suite at logistics company. have linkedin, personal mail, home county from property record. no contact yet. how to open?
dont approach until you sound like you already know them. build full profile first - family, work history, routine if possible. people break when they think you have more then you do.
call close faster. email give time to think. if pretext is tight and voice is good, call is cleaner. prepare script, know cover perfect, its manageable.
wait. if you push you spook them. one week then try different channel or different pretext. sometimes they go quiet becouse you hit close. sometimes just timing. dont assume its burned.
voter registration work in many state. also charity donation disclosure - some exec have home adress on 990 filing. also whitepages still has alot if you know how to search
good. dont move fast. minimum one week rapport before you ask anything. you want him coming to you. keep cover clean, dont layer pretext - one story, consistent.
