Why it matters

When a target account gets a pat on the back (think things like G2 awards or flattering news profiles), it gives you a reason to get in touch.

Time to say congrats and keep your company top of mind with a relevant message.

What to do

Don’t just offer up hollow praise and immediately launch into a sales pitch.

Zero in on likely economic buyers and calibrate your messaging to align with the award or recognition. Accolades and news coverage can tell you a lot about an organization’s business priorities.

Questions to inform outreach
  • What department is the person part of?
  • Is the person’s organization a good fit for your product?
  • Who are the other stakeholders at the person’s organization?
  • Has anyone from the organization engaged with your website or product?
  • Has the organization shared any information about challenges or goals?
  • What information can you share to show the value of your product?

How to do it
