1. Personalization at Scale The difference between a DM that gets ghosted and one that gets a response? Personalization. But you can’t spend 30 minutes per message. Here’s how to scale personalization: ✔ Use first names & company names in the first line. ✔ Mention something specific from their profile. ✔ Use frameworks like: "[First Name], saw your post about [topic]—loved your take. Quick Q: Have you ever tried [solution] to [fix pain point]?" This instantly builds trust and gets them to reply. 2. Lead with a Value Bomb, Not a Pitch The biggest mistake? Pitching too soon. Nobody wants to be sold immediately. Instead, drop a "value bomb" first. 🔥 Example: "Hey [Name], I just did a breakdown of how [competitor] is closing 40% more deals using a hidden LinkedIn strategy. Want me to send it over?" This builds trust, triggers curiosity, and makes them WANT to hear your offer. 3. Control the Frame & Steer the Conversation You need to lead the conversation or your prospect will. That means: ✔ Asking "either-or" questions to keep control (e.g., "Are you focused on outbound or inbound right now?") ✔ Not letting them go off-track—steer them back to the problem. ✔ Using mini-commitments (e.g., "If I could show you how to fix [pain point] in 5 minutes, would that be worth it?") DMs are controlled sales environments. Keep the power. Now, go apply these next-level DM & sales strategies and start printing money. 🚀 Want me to help your level up your game in DM?
