Interesting. I don't think it's new but just brought into modern day tech. And if it gets you the meeting you would otherwise spend weeks humping and praying for then it's done it's job. Personally I can't see saying on LinkedIn that I will pay X and that working. How does that not almost sound desperate and now have ppl considering whether they should risk their social capital to help you even if they make a few bucks. hmm I'm not so sure about this one.
Clever! Most finance and compliance teams will require some validation that the person you are paying is who you are paying, and that you will have to issue a 1099 for that $1k.
I understand the idea that you are paying for someone to listen to your pitch, but why would that person buy from you? Chances are, they already buy those products or services from someone else they already know. Why trade with you, a stranger?
I love that itâs bold, but somehow it doesnât make me too comfortable. Itâs a bit of a âcold introâ so Iâm not sure if those intros would convert that well
It's brilliant! And far more transparent than what is common in the animation world where they charge for a "chance" to pitch. Basically the lottery ticket system. This is public and holds them accountable.
This is genius. But I donât think itâs that new of a tactic, perhaps we are so used to a new way of doing sales that we forgot how it was done previously in our grandparents generation. From a family of commercial and sales peers, I can recall seeing that in action in my younger years.

Heard a few times, when this tactic was the least efficient per dollar spent.
Can you please share your personal outcome ? And maybe compare your efficiency with other approaches?
