How I get 20+ leads per month without sleazy sales pitches, automation or discounts

I’ve realised that most people get social selling alllll wrong.

(I didn’t think people were this bad at it)

They miss the social bit completely and end up with no clients and a network that hates them.

But the risk is if you don’t do any selling of any form whatsoever, you’ll miss out on 95% of the leads you could be getting.

See, when you post, some people will message you directly wanting to work with you (e.g. as below), but only about 5% of the leads you’ll generate from LinkedIn will do this.

The rest need nudging in the right direction. They aren’t ready just yet to raise their hand and ask for help.

They need a little more nurturing before they’re ready to invest in working with you. To identify these people and nudge them over the line, we need to collect ‘signals of interest’.

A signal of interest is an indication that someone needs your help or is interested in what you do. They are largely driven by your content and profile (this is a system that all works together you see)

Some examples:

  • They viewed your profile

  • They requested a giveaway

  • They liked your posts repeatedly

  • The complemented your content

  • They asked a question in the comments

These are all ‘signals’ that someone may need your help.

We need to use these to strike up a conversation and sell people in private messages.

When you use signals to determine who you message, your message is seen as welcomed help rather than unsolicited or unwanted spam. People are glad you reached out.

Best case - you convert them there and then.

Worst case - you help them and create an advocate who will speak highly of you to their network.

I’ve easily closed 5 figures of business in the DMs themselves AND through referrals from people I’ve DM’d that have never bought anything.

The old way of spamming people in a numbers game does not work anymore.

Start implementing this new system and watch your pipeline double.
