LinkedIn recently gave users a button to flag content that “Seems Like AI Slop”. More than ONE MILLION peeps have already used it. And LinkedIn says its reduced views of content classified as AI slop by 40%! BUT your prospect is doing the exact same thing in their head when they open your letter. They read two lines and they KNOW. “I came across your facility and was truly impressed by your commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences.” No human would ever say this lol Look… I’m not saying don’t USE AI. Use it to research the prospect, dig up details and knock out a rough draft. But if you copy-paste what ChatGPT spits out and shove it in the box next to the gift… You just mass-produced your first impression. And you’re straight into the same mental box as every cold email and LinkedIn DM they deleted that morning. The OPPOSITE of what we’re trying to do. I’m always one for adding personality to EVERYTHING… as ya probably notice in these posts. You don’t have to go as far as me. It just needs to sound like YOU. So read your letter out loud before sending it. If it sounds like anyone could’ve sent it to anyone… it’s not ready. AI can do the legwork. Don’t let it own your first impression. Dan P.S This goes for ANY outreach you do… Cold email, Linkedin DMs, IG DMs etc etc Avoid AI Slopping your prospects Be human - and you’ll see your response rates go up
