Sales Hacking - SDR
• “using technology, psychology, human capital, funding, legal — you name it — to overcome some barrier in your sales process” — Max Altschuler.
• In other words, a sales hack would be any
technique you use to positively influence
your sales efforts.
• The problem solved by sales hacking, in this
case, is the identification of (new) sales
channels.

Simplify. Simplify. Simplify.
• The One Trick Pony • A tool that accomplishes a single critical
function and does it devastatingly well
Hello World,
• Hello my name is Cralan. • I’m here to talk to you about lead hacking. • It basically means figuring out how to
jumpstart or maintain the generation of leads. Period.
• The spirit of things here is along the lines of Lean methodology.
Eye on the Ball
• Objective: get started with lead hacking for B2B companies/startups (in a non-expensive way). Present short ‘lead hacking guide' you can start applying to your B2B company right away.
Defintion
• A lead is a person or business who may
eventually become a client.
Lead hacking A-B-C
• a) see opportunity,
• b) seize it and
• c) act on it.
Background
• My colleagues and I started as a traffic
measurement company (opentracker.net)
and accrued knowledge in big data
management. We realised that a small
subset of the ridiculous amount of data we
collect could be flipped into something
valuable.

The problem-solution
• “Tell me who I should be talking to. Help me get in touch with them.”
Basic steps hacking leads. Step 1
• 1. Lead identification. who visits your site to learn about your products and services.
• NOTE: useful – for many things alongside lead generation – target client?
Lead hacking Step 2
• 2. Contact and engagement. Can get in
touch with these companies to sell products
& services, or to start a conversation.
• - the most asked question – how?
Lead hacking Step 3
• 3. Qualify these leads. Collect information about the lead.
• Once collected you are ready to act • Example: LinkedIn
Review
• Lead hack: Identification + Engagement - as
quickly as possibly, in other words, a short-
cut. Think of the lean methodology – apply
this to sales hacking – identify leads, try &
contact them, if a lead doesn’t pan out
drop it & move on. Repeat – keep moving.
How to hack leads
• In order to identify and qualify communicate with a potential lead you need to know:
• 1. who they are; company name and/or contact details (lead identification)
• 2. their interest (lead scoring and qualification) • 3. how to get in touch with them - email /
phone (lead nurturing and generation)
Q: Where do leads come from? 1.
• A: Lead generation can be formalised as
marketing or sales automation - as is the
practice with most large companies.
Where do leads come from 2.
• leads can be hacked, with growth- and
sales- hacking techniques by startups
without the budgets needed to pay full-
time maintain lead generation programs.
Lead creation
• i) You typically incentivise people to give you their contact details with candy (a reward), such as a download, login short-cut, etc. OR
• ii) build a great website that drives traffic OR
• iii) let people sign up for free trials OR • iv) sell something people want or need
Actionable
• then you collect all that data, and make it
actionable.
• Pipedrive to manage it all – or CRM & a way
to get reminders or ToDo’s
Actionable - alerts
What do I actually do?
• Million dollar question (see next slide).
conclusion
• lead generation is the process of figuring
out who you have to talk to, and talking to
them.
