\"Larry<\/a>By <\/strong>Larry Chiang<\/strong><\/a>
SnapChat sends shivers up the spine of traditional media. Its a service that deletes texts and pictures once they’re viewed.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, I use new tools to close deals. While I did not form the innovation, “booty call”… I do mentor how to close a deal via voicemail

Yes I’ll use both ends of the tech innovation spectrum<\/p>\n

Here is how to close a deal via SnapChat.<\/p>\n

-1- Let them give you the bird.<\/p>\n

By posting your SnapChat username “larrychiang”, people will send you ‘the finger’. The good news is that you will get random sexts ;-P. But that all counts for brand activation. All that counts is getting the conversation going…<\/p>\n

This leads to my next point…<\/p>\n

-2- Kick the Squatter to the Curb<\/p>\n

If you’re like me and are ceo of a super popular consumer Internet site… Duck9 is currently squatted. Is your brand name getting squatted on too?! Check by typing in a URL
https:\/\/www.SnapChat.com\/billgurley<\/a>
https:\/\/www.SnapChat.com\/INSERTnameHERE<\/a><\/p>\n

Text me @650-283-8008<\/a> if emailing SnapChat doesnt work and I’ll text bill gurley for you. Benchmark invested in SnapChat<\/p>\n

-3- Make the Ghostface Killah work and promote your website<\/p>\n

Ghostface Killah is the cute ghost logo for SnapChat. It signals that you’re cool when you add it to your website.<\/p>\n

-4- Get a call-to-action<\/p>\n

On SnapChat, I tried to pull my playbook from twitter. I use @650-283-8008<\/a> as my Twitter handle
https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/650-283-8008<\/a><\/p>\n

Right now, I’m using ‘duck8009255552’ as our company username. It incorporates the 800#, 1-800-925-5552<\/a>.<\/p>\n

-5- Allow your potential “leads” to ask any question (that eventually disappears)<\/p>\n

I am CEO of a company that mentors people on their FICO score. If VCs ask super stupid questions about their own consumer credit score, you can bet a Kappa Sigma from Michigan will too. So, dumb questions about credit inquiries evaporate into the ether using SnapChat<\/p>\n

-6- SuperModels Use SnapChat<\/p>\n
