Microsoft Teams is a great way to connect internally. Social Media usually for external.

Hi!!!

Hi all, I like connecting and communicating through Vidyard, video is a great way to explain and get your point across rather than just sending an email.

Hi everyone, I prefer emails. 

[JSuarez]

Depending on your contact's industry and role, here are some tools (more closer to methods) I've found successful:

• Standard email and call outreach (take your time to craft an excellent voicemail script)
• LinkedIn connection/social DMs (don't go for the sales kill–the prospect probably isn't there yet)
• Blog comments/community forums (good if your contact authors articles/blogs)
• Direct mail (what you send should match your contact's lifecycle stage––for instance, sending a gift card to MQLs that gets activated if they complete a demo)
• Tradeshows (start by researching if your contact's company will be there)
