1. The âTrigger Eventâ Strategy (Time-Based Outreach) đĽ
Timing is everything. The best time to DM a prospect is right after a trigger eventâsomething that indicates theyâre in buying mode.
â
Trigger Events Examples:
They recently launched a new product/service
They posted about a problem your offer solves
They just hired new staff (growth mode = budget)
They engaged with your content
Example DM:
"Hey [Name], saw you just launched [product/service]! Huge congrats. Many companies at this stage struggle with [common problem]. Just curiousâare you currently looking for ways to [your solution]?"
Why it works:
Youâre catching them at the perfect time
Feels natural and timely instead of a random cold DM
Increases response rate & interest level
2. Build a âBuyer Psychology-Optimizedâ Profile đ
Before sending DMs, your profile should SELL for you. If someone checks your profile, they should instantly see that:
â
You solve their problem
â
You have authority & proof
â
Youâre not a random salesperson
đš Profile Optimization Checklist:
Clear bio (Who you help + results you create)
Authority-building pinned posts (case studies, testimonials, insights)
Professional profile picture
Engaging posts that build trust
Why it works:
Increases DM reply rates
Creates instant credibility
Makes people trust you faster
3. The âSocratic Questioningâ Technique đ§
Instead of pitching right away, use strategic open-ended questions to guide them to realize they need you.
Example:
â Weak DM: Hey, I help businesses scale to $100K/month. Want to book a call?
â
Powerful DM: Hey [Name], quick questionâwhatâs your biggest challenge right now when it comes to [your niche]?
Follow-up Socratic Questions:
1ď¸âŁ Whatâs stopping you from solving this now?
2ď¸âŁ Whatâs the cost of NOT fixing this problem?
3ď¸âŁ If I could show you a simple way to fix this, would you be open to a quick chat?
Why it works:
Gets them emotionally invested
Makes them sell themselves on the call
Leads them to realize they need help
