Cold calls aren’t dead — but warm paths win more often, close faster, and waste less time. Sales Navigator helps you skip the cold start and get introduced through connections that already exist.
🔗 Why it matters:
The difference between “Who are you?” and “Oh, you know Lisa?” is massive. Warm intros increase response rates, build early trust, and get you past the gatekeeper faster. Sales Navigator surfaces those internal and external relationship bridges.
📌 How to Jumpstart:
- When viewing an account or lead, look for "Shared Connections" or "TeamLink" insights.
- Reach out internally — your colleagues, former coworkers, or even existing customers — and ask for context or an intro.
- Use InMail strategically: mention mutual connections or shared professional circles to break the ice without being generic.
🗺️ Leverage Relationship Maps:
When you build out contacts within an account, Sales Navigator highlights how those people connect to you, your team, or your extended network. It’s a visual shortcut to your warmest paths.
🔥 Pro tip: Warm doesn’t always mean direct. A thoughtful reference to a shared connection can open the door just as effectively as a formal intro.
🚫 Common trap:
Don’t default to cold outreach just because it’s fast. The extra 3 minutes it takes to find a warm path could save you 3 weeks of follow-up.
