Thanks Komal, I appreciate your suggestions!
Right now, my priority is to validate this unique B2B approach through insights from the Clarity community. I've shared a short explanatory video on my profile, along with a few details, and I'm inviting professionals to share their impressions and questions.
The goal is to spark interest, generate thoughtful feedback, and build early momentum — without revealing the mechanics behind the method.
If you have a moment to check the video and share your perspective, I’d really value it.
Thanks again!
Thank you Katty
This is one of the most thoughtful and complete responses I’ve seen on the topic — especially the part about showing how you think in the moment through workshops or peer communities.
I’ve seen something similar when helping first-time GMs or founders: when you stop pitching and start offering perspective in a shared space (even asynchronously), people begin to seek you out for how you think, not what you sell.
I’d add one small point from my own experience:
→ Sometimes, helping someone structure a decision (without telling them what to choose) creates an anchor they remember — and that brings them back when timing aligns.
One thing I’ve observed (and experienced myself as CEO):
New managers — especially at BU or exec level — often overreact early in their onboarding.
They feel pressure to prove value fast, so they push too hard, change too much, or speak too loudly — before they’ve earned enough trust or context.
It’s rarely about ego — usually about good intentions with bad timing.
I’m curious: what have you seen work well to help new execs pace their impact in the first 60 days?
Building on Shallon’s insights — especially the blend of tech, timing, and psychology — here’s one idea I’ve seen gaining traction:
Buyer Signals → Instant Advisory Drops.
Instead of waiting for leads to engage, set up light-touch tracking (via LinkedIn behavior, intent data tools, or newsletter clicks) and push just-in-time “advisory drops” — short, high-trust insights delivered via Loom or other, tailored to what they’re actively exploring.
It’s outbound reimagined: personal, contextual, and non-pitchy — like dropping a seed at the perfect moment.
