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

Emailing and social media engagement.

Contacting clients or prospects should always add value, so I think it's risky to have a preferred method. It's far valuable to cycle through both different methods of contacting people and with what type of contact.
Email, call, text and socials can be cycled through on a weekly basis so the contact doesn't feel spammed, and market insights, company updates, product updates and personal follow ups can also be cycled through. That was no contact gets the same type of contact with the same content for at least 4 months.

I connect with prsopects by leaving value filled comments on their posts and building rapport by talking to them in  a regular way before I try to offically  prospect them.

I use a combination of call, email, videocalls and in person visits.

I consistently inquire about my clients' preferred mode of communication. I typically mirror their chosen method; if they prefer calling, I reciprocate with a call, if texting is their preference, I opt for texting, and so forth. When it's necessary to document a verbal exchange, I follow up with an email outlining our discussion and any subsequent actions.

How do you connect with your contacts?

I start with phone calls. If phone calls fail, then i use email and text messaging.
