5 Outside of the Box ๐Ÿ“ฆ Prospecting Ideas Almost No One is Doing...

If you're like most salespeople, you're probably focusing ๐Ÿ”Ž only on the same old tactics to get in front of your ideal customers:

๐Ÿ“ง email blasts

๐Ÿ“ž cold calls

๐Ÿ’ฌ and maybe even a few LinkedIn connections.

Now don't get me wrong, these can be highly effective...

However, if you really want to differentiate yourself and stand out from the sea of other sellers doing the same...

You have to start thinking outside of the box ๐Ÿ“ฆ

If creativity isn't your strong suit - I've put together 5 ideas ๐Ÿ’ก to help get you started...

Ideas guaranteed to get you noticed...

1. Send A Custom Card/Handwritten Note

You may be thinking, this is old school...๐Ÿซ

However, trust me when I say - hardly anyone is doing this anymore and I promise it will help you stand out.

There is also technology to make this simple. Services like Sendoutcards.com allow you to create custom cards or Handwrytten.com which uses robots ๐Ÿค– holding real pens โœ’๏ธ to handwrite it for you! (say ๐Ÿ‘‹ to writer's cramp)

2. Have A Celebrity Do A Video For Them

Cool idea, nerd ๐Ÿค“...but I don't know any celebrities.

Neither do I, but why not go to Cameo.com and hire one, as Sarah Brazier from Gong did? See post here

3. Send A Super Personalized Video

Video is king ๐Ÿ‘‘, however, you've got to do more than put a name on a whiteboard and awkwardly wave ๐Ÿ‘‹ at the camera.

Check out this hilarious ๐Ÿ˜‚ video a seller did for his prospect, ๐Ÿ”ฅ Buffalo Wild Wings๐Ÿ”ฅ.

Yea, that's right...

Check out parkerscrazycookies.com where you can actually turn your prospects or yourself into cookies ๐Ÿช and send them as gifts.

5. Send Them Personalized Gear

Use a print-on-demand shop like redbubble.comprintify.comteespring.com, or a company like swagmagic.com or sendoso.com to create custom gifts to get their attention.

Maybe send a notebook ๐Ÿ““ that says on the front "Top Secret Notes From My Meeting With Keith at Bullhorn"

Or a โ˜•๏ธ mug that has some type of personalized message on it. For instance, If I was prospecting my good buddy Matt Dichter, it might look something like this...(all found from his LI profile)

There ya have it...

5 ideas ๐Ÿ’ก to help you stand out from everyone else vying for the attention of your ideal prospect/client.

Get creative...Think outside of the box ๐Ÿ“ฆ

Be Different, Be Memorable...
