Connect The Dots

Introduction

Connect The Dots is an really powerful product, both for individuals and companies.

Full disclosure I was the CMO and Head of Product for CTD up until January of 2024. It is a product I know inside and out, and I think the team has built a really good product.

It's free for life for individuals

Just like LinkedIn you can create an account and you can get a ton of utility out of the free product. The top things that it allows me to do include;

  • Organize my 20,000 contacts by relationship strength and ensure they're always de-duped and with current info
  • See all my LinkedIn connections, email contacts, and messaging history in a single view
  • Create a list of companies(e.g., Venture Investors, Exec Search Firms, Companies I Could Envision Working For, Investors, Q4 Target Accounts, etc.)
  • Create lists of people (e.g., C-Level exes, CEOs I know, Investors I know, Friends in New York, Great Engineers, Great Marketers, etc.
  • Grow a very big extended network with 1,000,000 potential contacts

Turn your company's network into pipeline

You can use Connect The Dots to build a warm referral engine inside your company. See who employees, advisors, board members, and customers really know, ghostwrite intros, and get in touch the old-fashioned way, with a little help from AI.

What is impressive about what Drew Sechrist and his cofounder Ian Swinson (both old Salesforce Alumni) are doing is solving the problem from end-to-end. This is a diagram I came up with while I was there which shows you the whole job to be done. It's worth getting a demo to see how they've removed the friction from all these activities, helping your sellers work a target account list, quickly finding the best warm connection, and teeing up ghost emails to be send out.
