Seller-owned demand
Your manager's playbook might be holding you back.Your manager's old playbook might be the thing holding you back.
When the calendar is thin, the standard advice is usually to make more calls and send more cold emails. That might have worked for someone with a network, a reputation, or years of prior contacts, but repeating those moves is not a plan for creating your own pipeline now. This video explains a more useful starting point: teach buyers something about a problem they already care about before asking for their time.
The work underneath the problem
Teach before you ask for time.
Start by teaching buyers something useful about a problem they already care about. That is how you earn credibility before you ask for their time. You do not need a massive following. You need the right people to see you as someone worth talking to.
Start with a buyer problem, not a tired sales tactic.
Earn credibility before you ask for a conversation.
