Practical B2B prospecting advice for QuantMinds
QuantMinds gathers technically oriented decision makers. Concrete steps to prepare:
- Target sessions where bank and asset manager speakers appear to prioritise outreach.
- Bring concise technical briefs with performance metrics and links to demos or repositories reachable from a phone. Replicable evidence outperforms high-level claims.
- Use networking breaks and speaker Q&A to secure short follow-ups rather than cold contact attempts.
- Craft technical questions around datasets, backtesting methodology and model governance to open substantive conversations.
