These are slides from a talk I recently gave on How we build relationships using Contactually. Contactually is an amazing Saas Software that I personally love and use.
3. What is it good for
Organizing My Network
Getting More Referrals
Generating More Business
4. How does it do this?
• Syncs with LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter,
Unlimited Email Accounts, Google Calendar,
Apple Calendar, Android Phones and iPhones
• Deep Integrations with Google Apps, Calendar
• Supports Sending of Emails from your own
server
• See Contacts across Accounts in One Place
• Generates Follow Ups for you based on Set
criteria
• Provides a Very Useful API
5. The Main Ingredients
• Buckets - Create Buckets to Put Contacts In
• Templates – Create Well Crafted Templates for
Common Purposes
• Programs – Create a Set of Linear Steps to
Take for a Variety of Outcomes
• Pipelines – Trace Leads through various stages
6. Buckets
• Buckets are how we
organize and segregate
our contacts.
• Contactually sends us
Daily/Weekly reminders
of who to follow up
with based on the
buckets we have
organized and the
bucket rules we set.
7. Templates
• Email templates allow
us to send the same
message, but
personalized, to our
contacts.
• Having a pre-written
template allows us to
send the message with
just a few clicks of a
button.
• Must Have Templates
– Following up with someone
after an event
– Asking for a referral from a
current client
– Introducing a current client to
someone in your network
– Reaching out to someone you
haven’t spoken to in a long
time
– Sending an article
– Following up with someone
after a new job change
8. Programs
• Programs allow us to
set up a series of
actions with a particular
contact or group of
contacts over a period
of time, either
automatically or by
nudging us to do so
• Sample Programs
– Current Client
Engagement
– Reaching out to clients
you recently worked
with
– New Contact
Engagement
9. Pipelines
• The Pipeline
functionality provides a
visual representation of
where our deals are in
their current process
and what steps need to
be taken.
• A pipeline is broken into
Stages while stages are
broken into Deals.
