It depends on the brand, but typically, no.
I think an emoji or two on a specific landing page where it makes sense, is okay.
Let's discuss emoji usage! 👊🏼 😜

It depends on your GTM strategy.
If you are trying to target your customer directly (e.g. startup founders) and there are networking events specifically for startup founders, probably a good idea as a part of a founder-led sales strategy! Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Experiment. Choose different types of events, attend in a scrappy way (don't purchase a huge sponsorship, as an...
Is attending networking events part of your GTM and is it worth the (time) investment?

Personal or brand? It depends on the platform. In general:
1. Asking a controversial question that is bound to go viral
2. Tagging others in your post
3. Co-posting with other brands that have a larger following
4. Contests
5. Sharing super valuable content that people will share with others
What's your go-to strategy for boosting organic reach on social media platforms?

For me, it depends on the category: (1) are you entering a space with tons of competitors or (2) are you creating a brand new category of product?
If it is (1) the hardest sales objection I've been met with is
(a) High cost of switching solutions - change management is real!
(b) What we have is working absolutely just fine. Unless you are 10x cheaper or significantly cheaper - we are not...
Salespeople, what is the hardest objection so far, and how do you handle it?

Completely depends on the type of conflict! Is the conflict:
- Between your direct reports?
- Between you and a cross-functional peer?
- Between you and your manager?
Handling conflicts within a team without hindering progress?

Sandy, try copy.ai. They have really cool workstreams and a brand voice template that will help you craft messages based on posts that you've created before.

For me, it completely depends on the customer and industry. It's all about understanding where they are.
Currently, product and co-marketing partnerships are driving the bulk of the referrals. LinkedIn is also a solid channel (organic, not paid).
At my last company, Google Ads and organic search were the main drivers of converted leads.
What is your best marketing channel?

A no brainer. Cannot wait to start using this. Love the fact that you do not need to build a separate landing page and the interactive features. Even skeptics at my company were sold on the benefits of ewebinar.com

We absolutely love Fellow at Procurify. Personally, it's changed the game for me. I used to have different Google Drive documents for my 1:1s and meeting notes and I spent tons of time writing out action items follow-ups, and rolling forward items from previous meetings. Also, it was hard for other members to adopt the Google Drive approach as they were already inundated with so many documents....

This is such a great idea, especially during times of the new normal. Lots of companies are now thinking up creative ideas to keep their teams connected during the pandemic and virtual podcast discussion clubs are a great idea.
