Should I use LinkedIn or email for VPs of Sales?

Coordinated email + LinkedIn outperforms either alone. Heads of sales spend significant time on LinkedIn.

Is calling effective for sales leaders?

On warm context, yes. They appreciate a tactical phone call when prior touches established credibility. Cold calls without context rarely connect.

How specific should pipeline-math hooks be?

As specific as the data supports. Named peer plus specific number beats vague claims.

Does the seniority gradient matter (VP vs CRO vs Director)?

Yes. CROs reward strategic framing. VPs reward operational specificity. Directors reward tactical playbook detail.
