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.

The Meaning behind Courage, Endurance and Mateship As I donned my Akubra and draped my Aussie flag around my neck crafting a makeshift scarf, we headed off to the ANZAC Day Service at the oval of the Stanley Marketplace hosted by the AUSDenver community.

Problem: Salespeople talk too much when they finally get a prospect on the phone. They pitch features and benefits instead of asking questions and qualifying. They talk over their prospects and generally learn very little about what it takes to close a sale. Result?

It happened just this second. I checked my voicemail and found two messages. One was from a business owner who wanted to speak to me about training for his sales team. The other was a vague message from someone named, “Ty” who just said, “Hey Mike this is Ty; call me back when you can. “ Now here’s the problem: They both left their phone numbers so quickly that I had to listen back to the message four times—all the way to the end, by the way—before I was able to write down their whole number.
