Today, we’ll recap one final session: “Tips & Tricks to Spice Up Your Marketing Mix,” presented by Data.com’s Sr. Director of Marketing Jamie Domenici. 

We’ve been recapping the best sessions from the Rainmaker Event for our community members. This week, we’ll talk about Email Marketing Bootcamp, a session led by Data.com Email Marketing Manager Vanessa Meincke.

One of the sessions was with Laura LaBine, a social media-savvy recruiter who shared insights that recruiters could use to find candidates.  Laura gave us a peek at what’s happening behind the curtain in the recruiting world so that we might all make ourselves more attractive candidates.

In a previous role Dan built his company’s database from scratch, using a very limited budget to create it and Data.com Connect contacts to fill it. We thought he’d be the perfect person to talk to the group about data management. 

On the afternoon of the second day of the Rainmaker Event, we settled in to hear Miles Austin present “New Tools, Old Rules,” where he told us about the best sales tools on the web, and how we can use them most effectively with the same sales principles we’ve been using for years.

Wendy Weiss, “The Queen of Cold Calling™,” is a sales trainer, author and sales coach, and she presented the Rainmaker Event keynote “Powerful Prospecting: Cold Calling Strategies for Today’s World.”  In honor of Wendy’s webinar coming up tomorrow, let’s recap her Annual Rainmaker Event session next!

This year at the Annual Rainmaker Event, Rainmaker Stuart Slater took the stage to share his best tips for getting the most out of Data.com Connect. Since everyone could not join us in person, here’s a recap of the tips Stuart shared. 

The world has changed, and we need to change with it if we are to stay alive in business. However, we can’t just be on social media. We need to be creating content that our customers want to see.

Our second keynote was presented by Seema Kumar, Sr. Director of Product Management. In a nutshell, Seema’s job is to bring you a fabulous, innovative, user-friendly website.

Over the next several weeks, we’ll be blogging about the sessions and sharing some of the presentations with you so that you can learn from what the presenters shared, even if you couldn’t be there in person. To kick it off, let’s learn about the first keynote of the event, presented by SVP and GM of Data.com, Andy MacMillan.

The 4th Annual Rainmaker Event from a Rainmaker’s perspective - Day 2

This is my 2nd time attending the Annual Rainmaker Event. I attended last year and had a wonderful time and made several new friends and connections.

Welcome home, Rainmakers. I hope you’re all recovering from the amazing time we spent together networking, learning, and enjoying beautiful Las Vegas. 

Get your coffee ready, Rainmakers, because it’s time for Day 3!

Rise and shine, Rainmakers! It’s time for Day 2 of the 4^th Annual Rainmaker Event. 

Happy Rainmaker Event, everyone! Around here, the first day of the Rainmaker Event is like a holiday, and I know there will be some celebration going on tonight!

Rainmakers, there are just 3 days left until the 4^th Annual Rainmaker Event. Are you ready? We sure are!

Wendy is a keynote speaker at this year’s Annual Rainmaker Event.  In her keynote, Wendy will discuss cold calling strategies for today’s world. You’ll learn what works in today’s tough selling environment, why prospects say they are not interested, how to get them to return your call, and how to get results on each and every call.

For those of you still undecided about the Annual Rainmaker Event, what are you waiting for? Let me tell you what my experience has been.

When you register, you get access to this free event where you can meet your fellow Rainmakers and the Data.com team, but what’s better is that you’ll get to learn best practices that will help you be more effective when you get back to the office. We want to empower you with the knowledge you need to be successful, and that’s the focus is for Annual Rainmaker Event in Las Vegas June 10-12.

Each year, we have the privilege of choosing some lucky Rainmakers to not only attend the Annual Rainmaker Event for free, not only stay in the hotel for free, not only get to attend the awesome Gala event and get airport to hotel transportation and have conference meals - you get the picture- for free, but also fly to the Rainmaker Event -- for free! Most of these people are chosen because they’ve won a contest for adding or updating data, but this year, we’re trying something a little different.

Rainmakers, add or update your way to Las Vegas…again! No, you’re not having déjà vu. You really are seeing this great contest a second time. Why do I say it’s great? Because it’s so easy! If you’re a Rainmaker, all you need to do is add or update 250 contacts between today, April 19, and Thursday, May 2, and you’ll be entered in a drawing to win a flight to the Annual Rainmaker Event. We’ll randomly select 2 eligible adders and 2 eligible updaters, and they’ll all win free flights to the Annual Rainmaker Event June 10-12 in Las Vegas. It’s that simple!

From now until April 5, just add or update 250 contacts, and you will be entered in a drawing to win a flight to Las Vegas. After the contest ends, we’ll draw the names of 2 adders and 2 updaters, and those 4 people will win flights. It’s really that simple!

Rainmakers, you’ve probably heard by now that this year’s Annual Rainmaker Event will have even more of a focus on thought leadership than the years in the past. We want to make sure that you can walk away from the event with industry best practices that will make you more successful when you get back to your job.

If you’ve spent time on The Corner, you’ve probably noticed a little green checkmarks next to some threads. What does that mean? The green checkmarks indicate the threads that have “Accepted Solutions,” the best answers posted and marked by community members. The icons can help you quickly find the best content as you scan through The Corner, and those great answers come up first in search results, helping you find answers faster.

At this year’s Rainmaker Event, we’ll spend 2 days learning lots of industry best practices. But, we’ll also spend 2 evenings having a lot of fun! On Tuesday, June 11, that fun will take the form of our Gala celebration, a party at Cabo Wabo!

It’s Vegas time! It feels like we just got back from days at the Wynn and nights at the Ghost Bar, but it’s already time to start prepping to go back to Las Vegas! We’re hard at work on the agenda and making sure that we have really killer content for all of you, but we also need to take some time to make the fun decisions, like where we’ll have our Gala event on night two of the event.

Data.com members, I am absolutely thrilled to announce that our event of the year, the 4^th Annual Rainmaker Event, will be held June 10-12 in Las Vegas, Nevada. All the glitz and glam of Vegas called to us again, so we’ll return there, and this year we’re headed to the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino! To really kick it off, here's a video from me and our Sr. Events Manager, Jessica Chan. Rainmakers, consider yourselves officially invited!
