Do Not Send Sales Pitches On Social Build Relationships Instead

Don’t immediately send out sales pitches . 🥺 Do things differently! 👍

Here are three ways you can make that initial opening to new contacts to help you stand out and start meaningful relationships:

1️⃣ Research your connection: Take the time to 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 about the person you just connected with. Check out their profile, read their articles, and find common ground to start a conversation.

2️⃣ Create a compelling icebreaker: Use what you learned in your research to write an icebreaker message that speaks 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 to them or makes them smile.

3️⃣ Follow-up: Don't be afraid to follow up if they don't respond right away. Send a friendly catch up or you could try connecting with them on another platform.

ALTERNATIVE OPTION

Now this might not be your thing but another great way of making yourself stand out in the crowd is to send a short video.
