You started working at a new company, and on the outside everything seems great. But when it comes time to find leads, everyone completely ghosts you. Even the management-level employees are nowhere to be found.

It kind of makes you feel like everyone hates you. I have experienced the same situation, and I’m here to share some tips to help you out when you start a new sales position and it seems like no one can help you get started.

Find People Close to Your Proximity

If you’re struggling with finding leads, consider getting on LinkedIn and network with your connections who are close to your ICP.
I share a strategy that I teach in my LinkedIn prospecting course. It’s a neat sales trick that works every single time, only when they know you already!
You can also ask your proximity connections how they can give you insights on getting leads if my first strategy doesn’t work for you.

Target Accounts

When you have an understanding of those who can potentially buy from you, you can focus on your ICP and target those accounts.
Per week, find two to three accounts within a specific organization that are a part of your ICP.

Tier 2 Outreach Campaign

As an individual sales rep, you may not be able to do a full cold outreach campaign. But you can use tools to help you do one on a smaller scale.
I share how you can use FullEnrich to find emails and phone numbers of your prospects.

"The best time to find a job is when you have a job. So if you have a job and it’s stable, it might be a good idea to look to see what’s out there. Just make sure you maintain longevity in your current position before searching." - Donald Kelly.
