So if you're joining us live today, thank you so much for being here. Go ahead and drop in the comments what you're hoping to get out of today. With that Anna, thank you so much for being here.

Oh my God, thank you so much for having me. I didn't know you're such a good speaker. I stumbled. You switched professionally.

For whatever reason, they just keep showing up for podcasts. So I just turn on my podcast voice and it's a good time. So all that to say, we've got a ton of very actionable tactical content to get through today. And I want to make sure we dive right into it. So again, thank you so much for being here.

Key takeaways

Activation plays are the repeatable processes for when sales or CS becomes involved in specific customer conversations. To start with your first activation play, you just need to identify a trigger, build and operationalize an outbound sequence, and run the play over and over again.

To kickstart your activation strategy, consider these three foundational playbooks: reviving closed-lost deals, following up on missed meetings, and promoting event activation. These playbooks offer a solid framework for any organization.

Leveraging contact-level intent data is crucial for maximizing the impact of activation plays. By aligning sales and marketing efforts around ad engagement, teams can prioritize high-potential prospects and deliver unified messaging. For instance, sales can align the subject line and email body with the ads prospects engaged with.
