Hello All,

I am curious to hear your thoughts on your methods of contacting companies and executives.

I've heard interesting and creative methods from some people and would like to know what works best for you.

I understand there are so many ways to go about your outreach, and some searchers are self-funded or have limited funds to use on leads and marketing so it'c nice to know what works for those who operate on a smaller budget compared to a larger-scaled search.


Do you like dealing with warm leads only? Only prefer inbound leads from your brokers? Do you contact the owners only? Is there a certain executive title you like to reach out to first.

Outreach:
Do you do a funneling type of outreach?

For example the following:
Least Expensive to Most Expensive (all while tracking, delivery, open rate, reply, etc. etc.)
- Cold Email
- Cold Call
- Post Card
- Letter
- Big Envelope Letter
- Send a Gift

Some people follow this option and after they've tried all the approaches, they filter the clients that have responded and put them in a different marketing list, while those who did not respond; get put into the cycle again until they've fullyextended every opportunity to reach the prospect.

What are your thoughts on this method. and I'm eager to learn what your experience has been so far.
Are you making the calls yourself, or do you utilize interns or outsource your marketing team to collect leads for you?

Any comment helps!
