How I Sell in the DMs (without being Scammy)
Hey just sharing this for anyone who has a coaching or freelance offer who wants to do cold outreach.
Start:
Last month, I was still scared to cold DM people on Twitter. This month, I closed 4-figures of 1-1 coaching calls. Here's the exact script I used:
  1. How are you + Reason for reaching out
"Hey man appreciate the follow"
"How are you doing?"
Your goal with your first DM is to get a response. So ask a simple question to reduce friction and provide a reason to reduce skepticisim.
  1. Identify Dream Outcome
"Do you have any goals with Twitter?"
This is what I ask because my new coaching offer is related to Twitter but you can change this for your field
  1. Identify Roadblocks
"Sounds great, what's the immediate roadblock?"
  1. Transition to soft pitch
"Gotcha man, listen not gonna sell ya hard but I just launched a coaching offer for peoeple who want to [dream outcome] to overcome [roadblock]"
"Is this something you're interested in hearing about?"

Recap:
  1. How are you + Reason for reaching out
  2. Goals
  3. Roadblocks
  4. Transition to soft Pitch

The success rate has been much higher than expected but I suspect it might also be because of the market I'm in.
Hope this helps you land more clients, if that's what you're into.

P.S. Anything you'd add or any feedback to make this better? Thanks!
