I’m all about direct, data-driven lead generation. By that, I mean I turn cold emails…

   MAGNETIC is a content-led sales consultancy where CEO Steve Schmidt works with CEO\'s and Founders, specifically, to establish original, non AI-based content across social channels. The MAGNETIC EATT Methodology. EXPERTISE How confident are you that you are knowledgeable from a relatively non-biased standpoint? How can you display that prior to the first call? AWARENESS How do you build that constantly? Multiple channels, research, and test. Don’t have time? Got it. Hire somebody. Don’t have the resources for that? You neither have time nor money, so that’s a lose-lose. Invest in the amplification of the voice of the founder, placing them, in time, as a trusted thought leader in their respective space. TRUST How do you build that before the first meeting? Your POV matters. You, the person. The founder. One of the biggest problems in early-stage companies is getting what’s out of the founder’s head with systems and processes and onto paper. We help do that, both externally with prospects and internally with your employees. TIMING How do you improve timing? Always be around with daily content drops in the social channels and feeds being connected with your prospect to proactively answer questions that your prospects are asking. Additionally, we develop hyper-relevant messaging for all sales content across all personas within your Ideal Client Profile heavily tested, and then set to execution without burning through your TAM with cold, irrelevant messaging. Then, in a partnership with Regie.AI, there is also then the ability to teach personalization at point and at scale to the frontline reps.
