Sharing a tip that I hope a fellow salesperson or marketeer would find useful :) It’s small personal touches that makes all the difference for me. I have found that instantly following up with biz partners kept me top of mind. Constant communication, actively exchanging questions, comments, building real rapport - that’s usually how deals are closed (well, mine anyway!). Also curious to learn from others - what small personal touches have made the biggest difference in your sales process?

Love this! It’s the stuff between spreadsheets that often seals the deal- the best outcomes can hinge on what happens after the pitch. Small, thoughtful gestures that show you're really listening, from both pitcher and pitchee. I once sent a follow up email referencing the contact’s puppy & a cheeky incident they’d shared. Silly? Maybe. But it showed the convo had genuinely landed. Helped us build real rapport & shape a better deal. Curious to hear if others have a go-to move that works as well?
