Relationships without referrals are untapped revenue. You’ve built your sales reputation on trust. You’ve shown up, delivered results, and become someone your clients can count on. You know how to build rapport. You have built years worth of goodwill with your network—with deposits made over time through loyalty, follow-through, and competence. But here’s the hard truth: If you’re not asking for introductions, you’re not selling with the full power of trust-based selling.

Go-to-market success hinges on how well you can connect with the right people at the right companies, at scale. Whether you’re launching a new campaign, filling pipeline, or prioritizing outreach, it all starts with one critical asset: your contact database. A strong contact database powers every interaction across sales, marketing, and customer success, enabling you to target precisely, personalize outreach, and prioritize the best opportunities.
Speaker: Jesse Hunter and Brynn Chadwick
Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

Modern go-to-market teams know it takes more than one email to break through the noise. Multiple touchpoints means more ways to get your pitch right — and, potentially, more ways to be wrong. The good news? Once you know how to write compelling, one-off emails to entice prospective customers, you can easily do the same across a short sequence of emails.
