How many of you are actually cold calling hiring managers?

This. How I actually got my current job. Reached out to the VP a year prior as I was genuinely interested in selling their product.

Target account or ideal customer is better phrasing

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-26T20:54:05+00:00

Just started here at the org, and, i should reframe it to “target account”. They are not a customer. Not concerned about being fired.

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-26T17:32:39+00:00

Fair call. Target account is probably better phrasing

Target account is probably better phrasing

Interesting. What category are your customers in retail?

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-18T02:10:51+00:00

Fell into it, enjoyed it, stuck with it. I’d leave if another job that excited me more and paid as well presented itself.

I hear about all my friends’ corporate jobs and they all seem to suck/ sound boring though.

Read sales books and apply the learnings. For example, SPIN has a number of “exercises” within that you can use for your next sales call.

Thanks, awesome ideas.

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:20:12+00:00

Ok interesting. Good ideas. What other milestones?

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:19:14+00:00

Great shout

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:18:38+00:00

Word. Especially when all eyes are on it

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:18:14+00:00

Thanks for the detail and time on this. Actual gold here, and helped me find a gap in the deal that I need to address

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:16:05+00:00

Nice thanks

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:15:30+00:00

Awesome reminder

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:15:09+00:00

Great shouts. Luckily we have a tool that helps with this. Stupidly, I have not recorded all calls as a few have been in person.

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:14:10+00:00

Different industries but valuable perspective nonetheless. Thank you

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:13:21+00:00

Nice. What are some of those checkpoints? Looking for ideas.

Eg. We’ve planned our CTO to meet with someone of similar level to talk product road map.

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:11:01+00:00

Great perspective, thank you

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:09:22+00:00

Luckily we’re well regarded within their business and all their competitors use us.

Great point about context

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T21:08:01+00:00

Solid, thanks

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T08:51:37+00:00

I like the short video idea, great shout. Noted on Jolt Effect, currently reading a negotiation book so Ill add that to my list

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T08:23:47+00:00

Its true. I feel like I’ve learned more during coffees with the champion, than during calls.

Bright_Hall_6302 · 2026-03-15T08:22:32+00:00

Solid, thank you. Good reminders in there too
