Video calls are a great way to make a memorable connection although phone calls are a solid second.

How do you connect with your contacts?

For me it depends. For established connections I will leverage SMS as it tends to be a preffered (and most efficient) method of communication for them.

 

For new prospects I utilize a comboination of SMS and email to iniatiate the conversation.

It depends.

When I was in commercial real estate, it was approx 90% SMS (we used Close CRM).  We still did calls and a fair portion of emails, but that was mostly for documents and pics.

When I was in SaaS, it was probably 50/50 phone and email.  Barely any SMS.

In my latest role, it will primarily be email (est 70%), phone (20%) and LI messaging (10%).

Sending a personalized email to connect with contacts. Connecting with contacts on professional networking platforms like LinkedIn to expand my network and stay in touch. If appropriate, i will reach out to contacts via phone to introduce myself and initiate a conversation.
