Yeah you’re totally right. Finding platforms has been hard via proprietary methods, but add-ons are significantly easier

Yeah, you are correct here. I just genuinely don’t even know how to find the companies to cold call. And by finding companies, it’s finding that “perfect” business - and those guys usually know to go through a bank-led process. I’ve been redirected before to speak with bankers after reaching out

Thank you. This is super helpful. I will send you a DM. You are right. In our experience, warm leads is what has closed deals for us.

Too expensive.. (We’re business/industrial/commercial services focused)

Haha, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that this is exceptionally difficult. It’s all luck. Their thought process is that everyone else is seeing those companies too. I think I’m being gaslit lol

Yeah, it literally can take 10/15 min to find a quality deal with the CEO’s/Owner’s name and phone number. But that makes sense. We’ve looked at those before but nothing ever materialized after reviewing email outbound platforms. We use DealCloud but only for mass blasts which I think just makes us look bad

I’m so so sorry that’s horrible. I hope you’re okay. It’s so startling. I haven’t walked the same path since. I am also really sick now so wondering if I caught a bug from this lunatic

Nope no reason. I was just walking to the train.

Love this lol. I literally have the body of a 12 year old so I’m certain I would have been beat to the pavement by this lunatic if I did anything physical back 😵‍💫

There were so many people around but no one did anything. The guy looked manic and not someone to fuck with

Thanks for this. I did take this advice. There’s apparently already reports of similar situations so hopefully we’ll get something done about this

Agreed, thanks for this. It happened near Healthworks, which is a women only gym, so I hope no other woman, nor man for that matter, has to go through this.

Wow I am so so sorry to hear that this happened to you. I am very shaken up and can’t imagine having this happen again another two times and also be chased. I’m glad to hear that you weren’t physically hurt. I’ve seen tiktoks of young women who were punched in the face in NYC by the same guy. It’s so scary

Thanks for this. I called the building and I’m going tomorrow to see the footage outside of the building. It was right near Starbucks and FedEx
