Happy Monday, ladies! 🤍 As you navigate landing an offer, remember: the gold is in the follow-up. You are applying for a role in sales. Following up is literally part of the job they’re considering hiring you to do. So don’t be afraid to send another message 48–72 hours after your original outreach. When you do follow up, stay away from phrases like “Just following up” or “Checking in.” Every salesperson says these, and they don’t give the person much of a reason to respond. Instead, make it personal and give them something to engage with. For example: “I’m really inspired by the work you’re doing and would love to connect about the possibility of working together.” And remember, being left on read or having a message opened with no response is not personal. We are strangers on the internet, and responding to a stranger in their DMs probably isn’t their priority that day. OR your message could be sitting in their requests folder and they haven’t even seen it yet. This is also why your Instagram profile matters. Think of your profile as part of your resume. If they click on your name before responding, what does your profile tell them about you? Follow up. Be personal. Be persistent without being pushy. And if you’re unsure what to say in a follow-up or want me to look over your outreach, message me. I’m here to help! 🤍
