As marketers and sellers, we all know the feeling. Goals are climbing, buyer expectations are increasing, and some days you’re left staring at your screen, fresh out of ideas on how to build and convert more business.
Sometimes, the best way out of a rut is to put yourself into your prospects’ and customers’ shoes and think about what type of experience would stop you in your tracks.
Over the past quarter, our product team has been focused on understanding users’ needs to elevate their outbound marketing and sales strategies. Here are some examples of what we’ve heard:
- “6sense can give us a good intel on who is currently in a buyer’s market, and let us identify those accounts and then try to [engage them with Alyce].”
—Head of Demand Generation at an online media company
- “I would love to see what is the process that an SDR would use to send an Alyce gift. So for example, use 6sense to identify the appropriate accounts that are searching and are in an active buying cycle, craft your message, select your gift, and then do these three steps 30 minutes after sending the gift.”
—Strategic Accounts Manager at an IT management company
- “Say when the person opens an email, you could send them out a gift card. When the person has a higher engagement because they’ve visited your website, you could send them out a box of cookies.”
—Enterprise AE at a marketing and advertising company
- “I would love to be able to receive a notification in Slack whenever one of my gifts is viewed by a prospect or customer”
—BDR at a marketing and advertising company
