WHAT YOU’LL LEARN Some methodologies that Collin braces and styles that he tried and were not for him Collin’s style and what he’s learned picking styles and mastering them Some of the outbound activities that he’s invested time in and experiments he’s done Collin’s approach to LinkedIn How podcasts can and should be used with outbound Tips for bad interactions and how to learn how to quickly move on What motivates and inspires him QUOTES “Pick a style. Stick with it. Master it. Make it your own. That’s when you’re going to become the most confident. That’s when you’re going to see better results. That’s where it’s going to feel more authentic and genuine as you as a person rather than more of like a robot or reading a script.” - Collin Mitchell [03:55] “The content that performs well for building authentic relationships, connections and leads is original content.” - Collin Mitchell [18:36] “So I have a bit of a crazy thought and a lot of people would disagree with me, but I believe everybody in sales should have a podcast.” - Collin Mitchell [20:11] “You can do everything right in a sales interaction, whether it’s a cold call, whether that’s running a discovery. Even like an AE or whatever the case is, you can do everything right exactly the way you should have, and you can still lose. And you have to be ok with that.” - Collin Mitchell [30:29] “Learning those hard and soft sales skills are important, but taking care of you first is more important, and then those things will come easier. Even if you’re not the best at them, you’ll do better.” - Collin Mitchell [35:05] TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Intro [00:28] Meet Collin Mitchell [02:42] Methodologies that worked and didn’t work [05:53] Collin’s style [09:33] Outbound nerdiest activities [12:28] Collin’s approach to LinkedIn [17:43] Unified messaging [19:52] How podcasts can and should be used with outbound [28:57] Bad interactions [32:49] Skills that transfer to sales and outbound [37:07] What motivated and inspired him [39:42] About Salescast [43:37] How to contact Collin RESOURCES Enterprise Sales Development with Josh Braun The Million Dollar Rebuttal and Stratospheric Lead Generation Secrets: Cold Calling is NOT a Numbers Game! by David Walter Salescast Podcast Episode #123 Cold Calling is not a Numbers Game with David Walter Vidyard Sell Without Selling Out: A Guide to Success on Your Own Terms by Andy Paul Sales Enablement Podcast with Andy Paul Learn more about your ad choices.
