Now, I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying they don’t know what to say while outreaching or they’ve been asking for a common template which can be used to get replies.
First off there’s no common template.
This is where personalisation comes in…
You gotta stalk them and find bits and pieces which shows you’ve done your “research”
(another word for stalking here)
I don’t pitch them or I don’t even try to sound salesy in the first message.
if you find a person cute
U don’t go up to them and be like
“hey you’re cute, can I take u out?”
You obviously try to start a conversation at first, get to know them, then you make your move
It’s kinda the same with business because you have to realise that you’re dealing with HUMANS here,
difference is you don’t ask them what their favourite colour is 😍
You ask them where they see their business going in the next 5 years.
You don’t need to extend a big conversation, but at least try to sound genuine and normal before you pitch something.
Just get into their main DMs section where they text their favourite people. Try to get to their DM list first
This worked wonders for me.
Note: I’ve also sent loads of messages pitching at first and NONE of it got a reply. This may work for a few and may not.
Totally up to u but I just wanted to share.
Here are a few examples of trying out different ways to get them to text me.
(Sometimes it was just a plain “do you need copywriting assistance LOLL 😂)
