I like to submit an email and then follow up with a phone call once I notice they've opened the email. Not all CRM software has the notice though and then it's within 24 hours

Usually I connect with contacts through email. If it is of urgent I'll connect through calls and as a alst option text messages if client opts in.

I typically use emails as my main method of connection, but I'm planning on integrating LinkedIn into our sales process as well.

Calls, emails, text and WhatsApp have been my primary contact methods.

I have loved calls since i started in sales but with remote work (and my own buyer persona changing to a person out on foot), email is now my preferred contact method and then sealing the deal literally with a call at the end of their sales cycle. If they want a call during - great, it increases the connection and you are more likely to get them on board as an advocate also. 🙂

Mostly cold calls and emails to leads generated via Google search, zoominfo, or Social Media.  Considered doing video messages but not sure in our industry how effective that would be.
