Here's how I generate dozens of those replies every week...
(Hint: I didn't send a single cold email for this)
A THREAD🧵
For context:
You'll only need a LinkedIn & Expandi(dot)io account to start generating results like this.
There's a gift for you at the end of this thread so keep reading...
Whether you're doing outreach via cold email, LinkedIn or any other social media...
You'll always need:
- An irresistible offer
- A personalized message
- Tons of social proof
But that's not enough...
Why?
Well, because:
- Emails can bounce
- Your leads might be outdated or invalid
- You might struggle to create a message that resonated
But the good news is you can fix all that using these 3 LinkedIn Strategies...
#1 Target Post Engagement
All you have to do is scrape the information of people that engaged with a particular post.
Then you can use Expandi to create a personalized campaign based on that post.
#2 Poll Search
Scrape people who voted on a poll and reach out to them.
It takes 2 seconds and zero effort to answer so getting people to vote won't be an issue.
Anyone can vote on polls even if they're not connected with you so that's a great way to attract new prospects.
#3 Event Search
This one is the best laser-specific way to find your target audience.
Scrape LinkedIn event attendees and reach out to them.
You can assume attendees are probably interested in news related with the "event topic".
You see...
Everyone is reaching out to the same lead poll because they all come from the same database.
But not everyone knows about these LinkedIn strategies.
Plus, it's hard to match the level of personalization you can get with this strategies.
We've talked about the scraping strategies.
Let's stalk about the messaging now.
Here are a few that have worked well for me...
#1.
"(first-name),
I see you are planning on attending the (name event) hosted by (creator). Me too. Let’s connect. “btw” what's your favorite speaker?"
#2.
"Hey (first-name)
Thanks for voting on my recent LI post about (topic)! Here, something I thought might be interesting for you (article link about poll topic)"
#3.
"Knock Knock...
Now you're supposed to say "Who’s there?”
Just kidding (name). Saw you're also a fan of (author name) LinkedIn post about (post topic) . Loved it too! Let's connect."
You'll be able to generate tons of replies because you're hyper-targeting a specific group and you already know their interests based on the posts, polls or events they attended.
That's it for this thread folks.
Don't forget that no one is using these strategies.
Take advantage while it lasts.
