Kerry Bodine

When I bumped into a former colleague at a recent conference, he was eager to chat about a journey mapping initiative his organization (a major financial services provider) was kicking off.

Intercom, Inc.

For most sales teams, “personalizing” a cold email simply means referencing a person’s job title or company and sending them links to case studies or blog posts in the hope of generating a single click-through.
