How do you connect with leads?

Me conecto con leads identificando compradores activos: aquellos que preguntan por precios, tiempos y detalles del servicio, interactúan con el contenido, comparan opciones y muestran urgencia. Esto me permite enfocarme en quienes están listos para convertir.

How do you connect with leads?

One of the keys to connecting with potential customers is offering value from the first touchpoint. 🗣️ Whether it's sharing relevant content, understanding their specific needs, or highlighting how your product or service solves a particular problem, building trust is essential. Empathy and personalization are crucial to make the conversation not just about selling, but about creating a joint solution. 💡

Additionally, using automation and follow-up tools, without losing the human touch, helps maintain that connection when time is limited.

How do you connect with leads?

I connect with leads by creating a relationship with them, I try to get to know them relates in aspects wheter is personal or business wise connect with them and help them realize im also a person like them and im not above them but an equal. I feel like buidling trust works because customer are more likely to feel heards, and have their feelings and concerns understood and are more likely to purchase or use you as a referance.

I focus on being genuinely helpful, providing value upfront, and not coming across as too salesy. Personalized emails, engaging content, and just a friendly follow-up can work wonders. It's all about starting a conversation and building trust over time.

How do you connect with leads?

Getting that first conversation with a lead is all about timing, relevance, and value. I always start by researching their business and challenges so I can personalize my outreach. Instead of a generic pitch, I focus on how we can solve a specific problem they’re likely facing.

💡 Multi-channel approach – A mix of LinkedIn, email, and a well-timed call increases response rates.
💡 Engage before you sell – Commenting on their posts or sharing relevant insights helps build familiarity.
💡 Make it easy – Offering a quick 10-minute chat instead of a formal meeting reduces friction.

How do you connect with leads?

When I receive a new lead, I research about the new lead before send a personlized message to them. I try to learn about them from their linkedin profile in my case, look at their previous experiences, the role in the current organization, common connections etc and then would send either a personilized message on their social media page or an email where the response would be short and precise. This message/email would just be something to trigger their requirment if they are lloking for one or just get them curious on how I would be able the help them.

How do you connect with leads?

To make the first contact some of the tricks I would use are the following:

 

- Make the outreach as personalised as possible, taking into consideration factors like demographics, personality, behaviors, goals

- keep the outreach short: a short introduction of myself, a reason why I'm reaching out and a useful piece of content. If possible arrange a meeting to have a deeper discussion.

- Short voicemails and short emails

- always orient the outreach into a helpful way, letting the leads know I'm here to help with anything they need

How do you connect with leads?

I tend to ask a new lead, for a 'short time' slot to speak. I give them value and I stick to that time-frame. This often makes it easier to book a follow-up. They know that 15 mins will be 15 minutes.

Seeing again an active buyer e.g. on social media I'd prefer to contact this person by phone. However reaching him out by email or other social media would be also an option for me.

How do you connect with leads?

Connecting with leads in HubSpot CRM is about using its tools to personalize and streamline communication. Leads are organized by lifecycle stages, like MQLs or SQLs, which helps tailor outreach. Each contact record shows their interactions, such as opened emails or visited pages, providing insights into their interests. Tools like email templates, sequences, and real-time tracking make it easier to engage leads effectively and at the right moment. This ensures outreach is strategic and builds meaningful connections.

How do you connect with leads?

Hi, I am Lynnrie from China. I am an account manager for a destination management company. I am a deputy of B2B. As I know, most Chinese salespeople would like to use WeChat to connect their leads. During the chat, get to know the leads' needs they want or consideration points they may hesitate to make a contract. 

But, sometimes, I don't know if it's an effective way to chat with leads because if there are too many characters in a chatbox it would be less patient to read. But if there are too less characters, it's impossible to get effective information salespeople would want to know.

From my perspective, I would like to adjust my sales tactics, which means paying more attention to providing targeted and useful information to my leads. Besides, I want to try some social media, like Redbook to publish some articles to my potential leads. 

Lastly, I think Hubspot is an extremely useful platform for us to learn modern selling models or tactics rather than traditional cold-call or cold-emails. 

If you want to share your ops and give me some advice, Please reply to me. Thanks~

Hi Lynnrie. Good post. What is destination management? Tourism?
And you are deputy of B2B so business travel? Just curious.

Thanks
