Hey everyone. Have you ever used Help a B2B Writer to source quotes? I tried it for the first time for an article and have some questions.
- I'm getting good ideas, but none of these people seem to be experts in the field I requested. It's not even evident from their LinkedIn profiles. And yes, I mentioned that I needed quotes from experts in this specific field. I sense that they do have some experience on the topic, but I'm wary of quoting them for the readers sake. Is this a norm with Help a B2B Writer?
- Is there a required or an unspoken etiquette for interacting with those who respond to your request? Do you have to reply someone letting them know when you aren't using their quote in your piece? Please let me know, thanks!
If you send a message to everyone whose quote youโre not using, youโre going to waste a whole lot of time ๐
Right?! @Mile Zivkovic
Figured I'd ask here anyway to see how others approach this
Have you tried ? You might be able to find more qualified people there, or at least get in contact w/ their PR people who can provide a quote on the experts' behalf. That's been my experience, at least.
Re: replies - What I've done in the past with HAB2BW is only reply back to those whose quotes I used in the piece. And only once published (assuming no edits / clarifications). So the follow-up message is like a 2-for-1. I'd usually send something to the effects of: "Thanks for the quote! I ended up using it in the piece. Here's the link: XXX. Feel free to check it out, share it with your network, and/or let me know if you have any questions. P.S. Would love to add you to my database of experts for future quotes, if you're interested. ๐ "
Thanks a lot @Noelina Rissman! ๐
I will check Qwoted and try it sometime
