Preferred mode based on the interest of the contact/prospect- start by email, move towards LinkedIn and then a call gauging the level of engagement in the last two outreaches

I prefer direct call, CRM software and emails to engage with my clients.

Hi, Texting, SMS and Whatsup. However for customers, I prefer emails and call sofware what record every conversation in that way, I can listen again our last conversation.

Whatsapp / Phone call for sure 

[Wdwilliams3]

Phone calls are great. I have also had considerable success texting to engage and execute via a follow up call. I feel entegrating both gets better results.

I am connected with my clients on their personal cell phone number, whatsapp. (call and text).

We mostly stay in touch through calls—checking in on each other, discussing commodity availability, and occasionally having brief, business-friendly conversations.

Hello Kyle,

I have used various CRM's, amongs all I found the features like email integration & call integration to the CRM is the best & useful feature to have on while working on any lead. I helps me to track call & emails sent to the client & their conversations. 

Thanks .

In all honesty, I am completely fresh to sales. I am looking to retrain and create a well paid, remote career for myself currently. The first step is getting educated.

My previous experiences have all been mostly face to face with customers/clients.

I will say that if I wanted to make a sale though, emailing first would be my low stress first choice. Just because it gives the buyer time to think about what you are selling. It also gives them a chance to send subtle queues through their interaction with the message, as to whether or not they are a warm lead. I think calls are king, so long as you have first broken the ice a little and attracted some interest beforehand.

[LLatan]

it depends, sometimes i go for a call and sometimes i go to a email, mostly calls.

[VLowe]

To contact a Lead, I usually call them directly. It is a cold call to pre-selected leads in an industry that would match our service. If I can't get through I will look them up on LinkedIn and work on engagement there first. I dislike cold calling and will look more into understanding the inbound leads method. Thank you.

Personally, I have always been a call first type of person. If I don't get them over the phone, I will follow up with an email with a eye catching subject line (normally something humorous)

In person contact, WhatsApp direct communication, and email
