QUOTES
  • “I think that sales development is to me more of a form of marketing than it is a form of sales.” -Tory Kindlick [03:11]
  • “I like to say that lead generation is a byproduct of demand generation, and so if you’re doing demand generation the right way, the leads will come to you.” -Tory Kindlick [10:46]
  • “I’m not a fan of gated content or considering webinar attendees or registrants to be leads, because they’re not. They’re just people who are maybe interested in your content and have decided that maybe it’s worth exchanging their own contact information for that content.” -Tory Kindlick [17:47]
  • “If your team is number one, really in tune with your buyers, understand where they are and what they care about, and is putting out that very sharable type of content, whether it be snippets from the webinar or just their own free thoughts in text form or video form or even TikToks on the topics, it doesn’t matter. As long as the content’s valuable and shareable, those are the things that can have a real true impact for the sales development function.” -Tory Kindlick [32:28]
  • “TikTok is going to continue to be a huge platform for marketers and sellers. I think the biggest challenge with it is people trying to figure out how to use it the right way, knowing that a lot of people are there and spending time there. Any marketer is going to say, ‘Ok, if my buyers are there and spending time there, then I need to be there too,’ but you just can’t replicate the same approach that you’re taking on LinkedIn and think that it’s going to work on TikTok.” -Tory Kindlick [35:21]
