ISTATOY is our expert-to-expert tool to target key contacts with relevant content. You can use this to send your client or prospect a link to a Passle post. ISTATOY stands for I Saw This And Thought Of You and allows you to include a professionally-formatted preview and link to a post in your emails to your clients.
Applications of ISTATOY:
- Reviving a conversation with a cold contact - relevant content gives you a great reason to open dialogue with a historic business contact. This can be the difference between maintaining or losing touch with key members across your network.
- Executing the sales nudge. When you have exhausted all other avenues and you do not want to send the 'Did we make the shortlist?' email, sending a 1-2-1 note with a thoughtful insight can act as a key differentiator to your competitors in demonstrating an understanding of the client challenge.
- Nurturing key and peripheral stakeholders.
- Positioning your firm as a value-add partner. This alters the perception of a traditional client-vendor relationship by leveraging the expertise within your firm.
- Pipeline development.
- Establishing new business line contacts across your clients and prospects. Bringing insight to market via an existing contact can lead to introductions and result in new opportunities generated.
