Found my SDR staring at his screen yesterday like he was watching paint dry.
“What’s the holdup?” I asked.
“Can’t tell if these emails are legit. I want to schedule an interview.”
Here’s a trick that takes under 10 seconds and costs exactly zero dollars: Microsoft Teams.
Next time you’ve got a leads’ email address, just pop it into Microsoft Teams’ search bar. If both companies’ ecosystems permit: Boom – instant verification (sometimes with online status, profile pic, title, and department)!
Not there? Either the data is incorrect or they’re outside your network. And what if they’re a Google Workspace company?
My team’s now validating email addresses in seconds.
And the best part? Nobody teaches this stuff. Not in onboarding, not in training, not in your fancy sales courses.
Just old-school hustlers finding shortcuts while everyone else complains about “not having good enough softwares.”
