How to Turn Cold DMs into Hot Leads Cold DMs don’t have to be pushy. With the right approach, you can turn a cold DM into a warm lead. Here’s how: 1. Personalize your message — mention something specific about their business or profile. 2. Provide value upfront. Share a tip, guide, or resource they’ll find helpful. 3. Don’t sell right away. Your goal is to start a conversation and build trust first. Master this process, and you’ll start converting cold contacts into clients. The key is adding value before you ask for anything.

What is your most successful method of following up leads? Throughout January we have put a lot of strategic plans into place at One Card, it has been a very busy month in terms of partner announcements, new features, exhibitions, networking and lining up new developments for February. The next step is to follow up on the many leads that we have acquired throughout this period and look to convert them. Following on from a conversation with a business last week, they believed that 40% of your pipeline should convert. Is this a figure realistic in your experience? What do you find is the best ways to follow up and how many times do you pursue a lead? In another conversation, we spoke about speaking to someone up to seven times before it was a definite closed door. Another one suggested you carry on until there is a restraining order 😂 - a bit excessive but quite funny none the less. The stats in the image are an interesting read though. I would be interested to get your views. After all, fortune is in the follow up. #followup #sales #business #leadsgeneration #leads

From Frustration to Success: How I Transformed My Cold Calling Strategy 5 years ago, when I started cold calling, ❌ I was making hundreds of calls per day. My connection rate was below 5%. ❌ I often felt frustrated and disappointed. 😣 ❌ Ending up with very low performance every month. 😔 ⏳ Fast forward 5 years, ✔ I now make just 15 to 20 calls a day, consistently scheduling 2 to 3 meetings daily. 🤗 ✔ This approach has allowed me to secure 50 to 60 meetings per month, resulting in at least 5 high-ticket conversions each month. 🚀 👍 Want to know how I mastered this? Just DM me "Lucy🐶", and I'll share my recipe for success. 👉 If you are a Founder or CEO and your business is struggling with sales or not generating quality leads, book a 1:1 call with me now, and let's fix things together. #cold_calling #leadgeneration #sales

Let's face it, everyone is a fractional exec on LinkedIn 😴. That's what UVPs and USPs are for. If you don't have them and constantly refine them, you don't have a business. Basically, you just have to work harder than the rest. For example, in my case, the competition offers only lead generation, but they leave the sales (closing part) to the client. I, on the other hand, walk the client through the closing process. Meaning: Instead of promising leads, I promise clients. Big difference, but also more work. I don't see another way around hard work to stand out. You? --- #fractionalcfo #fractionalexecutives #linkedinmarkering
