from Organise Hosted by Chris James

Not enough signal to work with. - - - - - - - - Martin mentors + consults with seven figure businesses + runs peer advisory boards for business owners who want to solve problems together. The outreach wasn't working - not because he was doing it wrong, but because he was stopping too early. We went live + worked through the whole thing. Why the first message sets the wrong dynamic. What asset to build that pre-qualifies people without a pitch. Why your warm network always outperforms fresh connections. + why a short video in the DMs will always beat a text message for opening up real conversations. - - - - - - - - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjamesonline/ Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/chrisjamesonline - - - - - - - - IN THIS EPISODE: • Why "hi, how are you doing?" is the worst first DM you can send• How to build a short asset that does the qualifying before the call• Why asking permission before sending a link outperforms dropping it cold• How to use your existing warm network before going after cold connections - - - - - - - - 🧭 Work with me directly: http://www.chris-james.co/c2c 🔥 Get my free 'Content on Easy Mode' Training: http://www.chris-james.co/content-training

A podcast for learning about the business of technology design and management. Listen to stories, panels, interviews and discussions about technology and design in-the-wild: the good, the beautiful, and the useful. Whether you've got one big idea, you think of yourself as an organisation designer, product designer, creator, or entrepreneur. Each episode offers a take on how people design, strategise, organise, and develop technology. We want to dig into the essence of design, discover the backstory to technologies, and unpack the design attitude. We started this podcast for you, because you are interested in tinkering, in making, and how ideas become 'things', and because we are all, in some way, involved in designing.
