#104.5: Collin Mitchell, chief evangelist at Humantic AI, joins Outbound Sales Lift Bonus Round to answer rapid-fire sales questions.

#104: 236 percent. 236 percent? 236 percent! Yes, Collin Mitchell is serious. He wants to help you increase your positive outbound replies by 236% through personalization. But he doesn’t mean traditional personalization by targeting a persona or an ICP. He doesn’t even mean combing a prospect’s LinkedIn profile to find out where they went to college or connecting based on a recent post. Collin Mitchell and Humantic AI are taking personalization a step further by understanding a prospect’s personality type and using it to your advantage. Knowing someone’s personality type can improve your communication and pitch by helping you present information in a way your prospect is most likely to respond. With insights into specifics such as which personality type prefers longer emails versus bulleted lists or how to increase your open rate with a perfect subject line, you can win over more prospects with tailored outreach.

#101: Imagine this — you start a cold call, mention your name and company, and instead of immediately remembering an important meeting they just can’t miss, your prospect says, “Hey, I know you.” Once you’re able to pick your jaw off the floor and start asking a few questions, you learn that your prospect has read a few of your posts on LinkedIn and maybe watched some of the sales videos you shared. What started as a cold call has quickly turned into a warm conversation. And that’s the power of a personal brand. Yurii Veremchuk joins Tyler Lindley to share tips and insights around how to build your personal brand and the importance of content in sales.
