#ApolloNext26
the most underrated pipeline in your CRM right now is every deal you lost on timing or budget earlier this year. a LOT of those budgets reset in january, and the planning happens this month...
before you email anyone, check if your contact is still there. a lot of people moved this year. if they left, you get two shots: a new buyer at the old account, and your old contact wherever they landed

a 5-step sequence:

2. call: ask how pipeline is tracking.
3. email: one question. "how does this year's target compare to last year's, and last year's headcount?"
4. linkedin: connect. no pitch.
5. email: close out with something useful.
