Show Notes

Segments

  • 00:00 — The timing thesis: the same email is gold in week one and spam in week six.
  • 12:40 — Trigger types: funding, executive moves, launches, expansions, incidents.
  • 26:20 — From trigger to message: specificity is the entire trick.
  • 37:50 — Watching a whole territory without drowning in alerts.

Key takeaways

  • News is only a trigger if it changes the prospect''s priorities.
  • Reference the event, connect it to a problem, offer the shortcut — done.
  • Stale triggers are worse than no triggers; freshness is a feature.
