📄 Use this template to drive Nearbound sales

Here’s an example of an Intel play AE’s can leverage right now as a Nearbound sales play.

“Hey Partner X, I’m talking to contact Y next week over at account Z. I noticed you closed them last quarter with buy-in from the A department.

So that I’m presenting the most relevant case about our joint value proposition of B, would you be willing to share any intel about the business initiative you aligned to?

A few of your top bullets would be extremely helpful, or if you’re open to hopping on a call for 15 mins maybe I could offer up some intel from my side on C account(s) you’re selling to which I owned the oppty for and we can trade notes.”

It’s not quite referral; it’s not quite outbound; it’s certainly not channel.

It’s Nearbound.

Steal the template. Use it. It works.

😯 This changes everything...

Number one, this is going to help humanize your internal thought leaders, and number two it won’t look like an ad – the less an ad looks like an ad, the better. – Bryttney Blanken of metadata.io

Tim Davidson and Bryttney Blanken recently sat down with Logan Lyles to talk about LinkedIn’s new thought leader ads feature that allows marketers to capitalize on the power of the people we work with day to day.

By surrounding prospects with subject matter experts, you’ve already got built-in trust.

Plus, this means companies won’t just partner with influencers externally.

The new feature promotes partnering internally.

This is going to be a massive way to leverage the power of Nearbound.
