$1,500 Client in 8 Days From ONE LinkedIn Message (Here's The Exact DM) 🔥
Sent 15 cold messages on LinkedIn. 3 responded. 1 became my second client. $1,500 in my account 8 days later.
Here's the exact message.
THE PROBLEM WITH MOST COLD MESSAGES:
"Hi! I build AI automation solutions that can transform your business. Would love to chat!"
Generic. Salesy. Instant delete.
THE MESSAGE THAT WORKED:
"Hi [Name] - saw your post about spending hours on invoice processing. I actually just automated this exact workflow for a similar company. Curious if you'd be open to seeing how it works? No pitch, just showing what's possible. 10 minutes on Zoom?"
Sent to 15 operations managers who posted about manual document work.
3 responded within 24 hours.
WHY THIS WORKED:
Specific pain reference - mentioned their actual problem
Social proof - "just automated this for similar company"
Low commitment ask - "10 minutes, no pitch"
Show don't tell - "see how it works" beats explanations
THE 3 RESPONSES:
"Yeah actually, this is killing us. When can you show me?"
"Interesting. What's the cost?"
"We tried automation before, didn't work. What makes yours different?"
Booked calls with all 3. Closed 1. Other 2 weren't ready but asked to stay in touch.
THE CALL STRUCTURE:
Minute 1-3: Asked about their current process
Minute 4-7: Showed live demo of working automation
Minute 8-10: Walked through implementation timeline
Client signed same day. $1,500 setup + $250/month.
WHERE TO FIND TARGETS:
LinkedIn search: "[industry] operations manager"
Filter posts by "past week"
Look for complaints about manual work, data entry, document processing
Found mine searching: "invoice" "manual" "time consuming"
15 relevant posts in 30 minutes.
THE DEMO THAT CLOSED:
Had working invoice automation ready. Used Make.com plus PDF Vector parsing. Showed email arriving, data extracted, posted to spreadsheet. Real-time.
"This exact workflow could be processing your invoices by next week."
Seeing it work beat any explanation.
REJECTION HANDLING:
Most said "not ready right now." I replied: "No problem. Mind if I check back in 30 days?"
Added to CRM. 2 became clients months later.
YOUR ACTION PLAN:
Find 10 LinkedIn posts about document processing pain
Craft personalized message mentioning their specific problem
Offer 10-minute demo, no pitch
Have working example ready
What industry are you targeting for cold outreach?
