I’m trying to move into enterprise sales from hospitality but cold applications aren’t getting me anywhere. So I changed my strategy, instead of waiting for recruiters to not call me back, I’ve been reaching out to employees at companies I'm targeting for informational chats. Have any of you had success landing interviews this way? Tips on how to go about it?

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number.

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
