How To Get A Meeting With Anyone

In this episode, Stu Heinecke talks about the updated edition of How to Get A Meeting With Anyone. First published in 2016, the book remains highly popular and helpful. However, many things have changed, and Stu felt the need to update the book with new information.

The key ideas in the book remain the same, with contact marketing being the focus. Deep personalisation and persona-based marketing are distinct approaches to reaching out and forming human connections in the age of spam.

Even with AI, which can, in fact, help to create better researched dossiers on people with whom we want to connect, ultimately, people need to know that they are connecting with another human. This remains the core idea behind the techniques described by Stu Heinecke in his book.
