sorry I bailed...
Yo it’s Belal. Sorry it’s been a bit since I posted on the newsletter. It’s a long story for another day. Just hit some low points and getting through it all now. Honestly I think people share way too much about themselves in general, and especially on LinkedIn lately. But if there’s enough appetite from the +10k sellers on here, I can share a bit about what happened and how I got through it in the coming newsletters.
There’s been several hundred new subscribers since I last posted, so allow me to reintroduce myself and make the unsubscribe button hella convenient (don’t worry I get a lot of emails too and wish more people did this).
On the personal side, I’ve been married for 14 years and have 3 kids (2 boys and a girl). I like Formula 1, Premier League Football, and mountain biking, though I’m new to biking and have totally gone OTB (over the bars) a few times in my first 6 months of riding. Lil fun fact: I could have never been an outside salesman cuz I got sweaty hands (hyperhidrosis) so it makes firm handshakes an awkward nightmare as I’m repeating my name like 6 times to new folks so they say it right… :P
Anyways if you’re still with me, I’ma make it up to you all by delivering this week an incredible explanation on how to do proper sales messaging. My way of saying thanks, cuz watching the subscriber count grow by +500 subs since my last post in February really made me grateful. So stick around, it’ll be worth it.
I’m also excited to share this week’s newsletter is sponsored by Hard Skills Exchange. Give em some love for keeping all the content you like from me totally free for you by clicking the link.
They’re doing the first ever B2B AI summit, and I gotta admit, I’ve never seen a line up of speakers this qualified or senior before at any conference, let alone one that’s 100% free and completely online.
Some of my top picks:
Ed Corno – CTO, IBM
Dan Gottlieb – VP Analyst, Gartner
Seth Marrs – Research Director, Forrester
Scott Brinker – VP Platform Ecosystem, HubSpot
Sangram Vajre – Co-Founder & CEO, GTM Partners
Jill Rowley – GTM Advisor & LPGTM Advisor & LP, Stage 2 Capital
I’d recommend signing up for free so you can get the recordings of the most important sessions like AI for prospecting.
✌🏽 Aight that’s it for now, but keep posted for the messaging masterclass.
