How to Use iMessage and FaceTime.
If you are going to use iMessage as part of your prospecting strategy its important that you know how to use it.
I use iMessage in two ways.
- Cold iMessage when all other methods fail.
- As a follow up to a positive interaction.
I only suggest cold iMessaging prospects when every other method fails because some prospects don't like it. If every other method of contact has failed you have nothing to lose.
When I have a positive interaction with a prospect I like to follow up with an iMessage so they have a direct line to me and to establish an iMessage relationship. I have never had a negative response.
For FaceTime audio, just treat it like a direct dial cold call!
