Episode notes
Why Narrow Targeting Beats Mass Cold Outreach
- Focus your networking energy on the small set of high-impact targets instead of mass cold outreach.
- Chet Holmes' Dream 100 shifted salespeople from hundreds of cold touches to deep relationships with 100 whale prospects that moved the needle.
Build A Focused Dream List Of Target People
- Build a list of 10–15 target companies, then identify ~100 people across them who can most impact your hireability.
- Prioritize decision-makers and advocates at your dream companies rather than random contacts or mass applications.
Use A Spreadsheet To Track Outreach Notes
- Track each person in a spreadsheet with name, title, company, last outreach date, and notes.
- Add context (shared school, talks, posts, portfolio) so your initial outreach can reference a real connection point.
