Deals are made in the DMs


Happy Monday, Reader!

Most founders believe that creating content is enough to drive high-ticket sales.

Publish a few posts on LinkedIn. Post some videos on YouTube. Write a blog post. Send an email.

And BAM — people are throwing money at you for your high-ticket service.

If only business worked that way.

I'd have a private island equipped with guard sharks with laser beams on their heads already.

Sadly, content doesn't work that way.

Deals aren't made by hitting the publish button. They're made in the direct messages you send.

I stress this when I create a marketing strategy for a client.

Yes, you need to post educational content to position your business as the expert.

Yes, you need to engage on other people's content to get traction.

But the real results happen in the DMs.

DM Templates that Made $700k

I include 18 DM templates in every marketing strategy that includes LinkedIn as a channel.

My clients have seen insane results using them:

  • 3x response rate
  • 4x leads generated
  • 3.5x revenue generated

Here are 6 of those templates:

1. Sending a Connection Request

Use this in your personalized connection request when you've liked and engaged on their content first:

Loved your post today about {topic}! Would love to see more of your content in my feed. Care to connect?

Note: Blank connection requests have a higher acceptance rate, unless the message is about their content. It's an ego thing.

2. Viewed Your Profile

Use this in your personalized connection request when they've viewed your profile but haven't connected:

{name} - noticed you stopped by on my profile. Was it the content or are you looking for some {category} help?

3. Received a Connection Request

Use this when you accept someone else's connection request:

Thanks for the connection request, {Name}.

Do you have any {category} questions?

I've helped XX businesses {do what}. More than happy to give some free tips to help you do the same.

4. Accepted Your Request - Content Focus

Use this when a prospect accepts your connection request:

{Name} - thanks for connecting.

I post a lot of content about {unique value}.

More than happy to answer any {topic} questions you have.

5. Accepted Your Request - Lead Magnet Focus

Use this when a prospect accepts your connection request:

{Name} - thanks for accepting my invite.

I recently put together a {guide, course, etc.} on how to {do what}.

Would you like a copy?

6. Soft Pitch

Use this when a prospect shows signs that your offer could solve their problem:

Hi {name} - saw that you are {action related to your offer}.

We helped {client} {do what} that produced {result}.

Worth it to see how I can do the same for you?

Understand your ideal customer's core desire man reaching

Your customer really only wants ONE thing. Granted, they will give you a long list of wants akin to a 5-year-old writing their yearly letter to Santa Claus. Some with asks that are just as insane. (No, Karen, one LinkedIn post will not generate 100 leads for you.) Even our customers have a lont list of wants: Clarity for their business A system for generating leads Credibility and authority in the market Streamlined offers to make fulfillment easier Clear messaging that actually converts...

brand messaging hurdles

"Industry-leading" messaging rarely converts. Most founders and some marketers think it displays authority and trust. Who wouldn't want to work with the industry leader? So they slap it up on their homepage.Use it on their social media.Add it to their pitch decks. And think prospects will line up to work with them. Except, they don't. Because "industry-leading," just like "we're the best" and "we care," doesn't actually say anything your ideal customers want to hear. It's hollow messaging....

brand strategy one thing psychology brain synapses

Your business will only be known for ONE thing. Most founders and marketers get this wrong. They try to build a brand that is known for every possible solution and service they provide. It's why most B2B messaging sounds so vague: "We're the single source of truth" "Everything you need in one place" "Leading solution" Messaging like that is trying to be known for everything instead of one thing. And it's why messaging like that doesn't convert. People won't remember that your IT firm does...
