To work with a global company, you have to be strategic and intentional. Many ways but my favorite is:
- Go to https://t.co/GC0S7PlYp4
The link gives you the name of companies that were recently funded. You have the link to their website, including team info and their niche. Since you want to be impactful, Iโd suggest filtering it to show companies with 10-20 employees
- You may be restricted by crunchbase, donโt worry. Go to https://t.co/L3n8B3ABgv, you will see hundreds of similar businesses for free
Simple, right?
Put all these details in a spreadsheet (excel or google sheet). My target is at least 100 but I usually segregate them into:
- companies you will like to work for
- companies that could be your stepping stone to the above
- companies that you know you are overly qualified for and could flex your wing (could be a startup)
Are you following? Yes, letโs continue then
If not, re-read it
Next step is to connect with our ideal prospects
Best place to do this is through LinkedIn (hey, some web3 founders are super active on TG and twitter. If thatโs your niche, you know what to do).
For LinkedIn, I assume you have a client-facing LinkedIn profile. If you donโt, download my LinkedIn course
- Use https://t.co/sIgMuktdsf to optimize it. After this, go to https://t.co/JXGOrdAG6o. Sign up (it can be very draining though. You can use vpn if you have it).
- what Apollo does it to extract their email addresses of decision makers. Now go back to your spreadsheet (where you wrote those target companies).
- start looking them up on LinkedIn and connect with the decision makers. Donโt forget we target companies with just 10-20 employees. Abi you don forget ni?
- For clarity, my take is to connect with those in my verticals. Most times, they could be CEO, COO, and CMO. At least three. But those in product can connect with CPM, Data should go for Chief data scientist and the likes
- if your profile speaks to their ICA, they will accept your connection request. If not, donโt worry
- click the side bar (I assume you have downloaded the Apollo as an extension). The software will automatically extract their email address for you.
- copy and paste them into your spreadsheets.
- start emailing them. You donโt have to stress yourself with this. See here https://t.co/jb2rBdp7pS. Check and edit to your industry
- this is a game of number but you have to be strategic with it.
There are other ways but letโs stop here for today
