I'm Scott, I have been running martial arts schools for 30+ years building one of those to have 700 students in a town of only 7400 people. I help business owners that are locally based to produce massive profits by becoming iconic leaders in their local communities. I'm a beginner in LinkIn and I'm considering if this will be a part of my marketing plan.

Struggling to convert LinkedIn connections into clients? You might be missing this one critical step: Optimizing your messaging strategy. Here’s a step-by-step framework to craft messages that get replies: 1️⃣ Start with Their Pain Point Your message shouldn’t start with you—it should start with them. Identify their biggest challenge. Example: “Hi [Name], I noticed many [industry professionals] are struggling to [problem].” 2️⃣ Offer a Solution, Not a Sales Pitch Focus on value. Share a quick insight or resource they can use right away. Example: “Here’s a guide we created to help solve this exact issue—it’s been a game-changer for others in [industry]. Would you like me to send it over?” 3️⃣ End with a Soft CTA Don’t push for a meeting right away. Keep it conversational. Example: “Let me know if this sounds helpful, and I’ll send it your way!” Why does this work? ✅ It’s tailored and shows you’ve done your homework. ✅ It provides value upfront, building trust from the start. ✅ It’s short, easy to read, and feels authentic—not salesy. Your goal isn’t to book a meeting immediately—it’s to spark a conversation that leads to one. What's your Go to LinkedIN conversion strategy?
