Hi Kyle,

My favorite tool for searching contacts is SalesQL because the data extarcted is directly from Linkedin which authentic.

Hey Kyle! AP here.

Two channels that I outreach to are...
1) LinkedIn: send over a connection request and initiate convos from there.
2) Email. 
(Using Apollo.io and other tools to help me make sure I'm connecting with the right people.)

I sometimes connect on LinkedIn, and I mostly view websites from target prospects and reach out to them directly by phone, followed up with an email if I am unsuccessful.

Hey there, how are you doing?

Mostly here in our company, we connect first through land pages, forms, and WhatsApp. There are some follow-up conversations via phone as well. E-mails are not our focus here, but there is some use.

I appreciate all the help from HubSpot Academy Team.

Warm regards and good sell to you all!
