Inbound works, but…

Tweet your thoughts #PayoneerLive

Inbound marketing takes months to develop.

You need to invest time writing articles & posting them widely.

A very small percentage of readers will turn into clients

The way “outbound sales” used to go was like this:

Buy a giant list of names, emails and phone numbers of people who might work at big companies

Tweet your thoughts #PayoneerLive

Send the same email to everybody asking

“do you want to hire me?”

For happy clientscheck back every 12 weeks.

If a client is happy ask them to give you a

referral to someone else!

Don’t just say “hi” ask when any upcoming projects will come up and write it down.

Try Channels Besides Email!

Consider non-email channels(InMail, Facebook, Twitter)

Tweet your thoughts #PayoneerLive

Ask for referrals from your own network to figure out how to get into your target accounts. Do you know anyone who works at a big company?

Be helpful and authentic! Don’t sound like your message is generic or it will get deleted.
