How Cold Outreach Haunts Our Daily Lives And How To Stop It
We’ve all heard it before — “can I just have 5 minutes of your time?”. Before you know it, that 5 minutes turns into 30 and you’re getting pitched on an irrelevant business opportunity or product yet again. It is the age-old question plaguing LinkedIn, Email, and many other platforms we use today.
As professionals, we get constantly spammed by people we don’t know- many times getting inbound messages from salespeople, irrelevant recruiters, bots, etc. It seems like all of our inboxes are flooded with incoming requests for our precious time and seems as though someone always wants something from us without providing anything in return for our time.
This method of cold outreach is a dying form of #communication and #networking.
“Cold” Outreach gets its name for a reason — it’s not pleasant for the person doing the outreach or the person on the receiving end.
I’ve been on both sides of the proverbial coin — I’ve been the “salesperson” doing the outreach and trying to connect with someone and getting frustrated by lack of response or interest from the person I am trying to reach.
I have also spent countless hours of my life filtering through my direct messages and inbound cold requests, getting frustrated over the approach and outreach methods.
What if our time and professional networks didn’t have to be spammed? What if your time was actually money and there was just an all-around better way to virtually network?
The answer is Entice — a new networking platform providing monetary value back into your time and truly making your network your net worth.
Entice thrives off of bi-directional requests, meaning profiles will be anonymized until both parties send a request to each other, and you can only DM, Watch Video, or have a 30-minute call with them based on their asking price.
We are putting the money where it should have been all along — in the hands of the person lending their time, experience, and expertise to their networks. At Entice, we are providing a platform to put monetary value back into your time.
Check out the new tools coming soon from Entice, a startup that’s making cold outreach a thing of the past, and grab your handle for the closed beta today.
