I gave interview in Amazon and cleared all the rounds , then went on hold and still on hold due to hiring freeze in that departement. HR does respond and update me when reached out.
Interesting thing which happened here is iam cracking each every product based interviews now after my tough preparation for Amazon and getting higher packages than what Amazon would give. So whatever happens , happens for good. Cheers Amazon

It’s a numbers game then build relationships first closes after that
Coming from someone who’s been there and went back to a big company afterwards. Unless your company has a strong brand in the US you are going to struggle. US companies will tend to prefer a US based company for whatever your solution is because of the likelihood that they have actually heard of the us-based competitor… If you think your product is unique it’s almost certainly not so genuinely study your competitors and find real reasons why yours is better, hit the phone and e-mails hard
I know it says I’m a sales supervisor but I recently became a BDM for a staffing agency. Best practices I’ve realized to reach companies is to drop In to their location first. Follow up with an email with whatever info u can find in person or through zoom-info/demandbase. If you don’t get a response then follow up with a call and every week or two reach out with a quick “on your radar” email. It’s a numbers game. The more lines you have out, the greater your chances of reeling something in are.
First and foremost, always qualify the prospect before any calls.
Second... a good lead-in is simply asking for an introductory/exploratory chat. Don't try to sell on the first meeting... it's a "get to know you" (and vice versa) call.
I appreciate the direct simplicity!
Following since I am also interested in what others have to say.
Zoom info, LinkedIn for lead gen. Connect and sell for calling.
Essentially, from where you are just build your clientele and your persona. Best advice.
How to do that? Any tools?
Well, I went through my second interview on zoom live with a three person panel, including the CEO.  From start to finish, it wasn’t spectacular. Connection had issues and some of what was being said was very hard to decipher. Asking for clarification wasn’t effective either. their questions for me were vague and their responses to my questions regarding sales, goals, and benchmarks, or even more so! Thoughts on how to recover and proceed? I don’t want this to be the end.
I would move on unless you enjoy ambiguity… if they can’t clearly define role, benchmarks, etc. you are being set up to fail ESPECIALLY in a down economy where even selling for Blue Chip companies/products is tough. Again, if you like ambiguous roles where you’ll be pulled in a bunch of directions then maybe this environment is for you but again just my $.02
