<aside> 5️⃣ Why I wrote this playbook?

When I first started on LinkedIn, I would send hundreds of DMs every week.

Some people would show interest, some people would say no.

And most people would ignore it.

I did not give up. I kept at it.

Sending cold DMs.

It wasn’t until 2021, that I realized that people get annoyed by cold DMs.

Or, Pitches in the first message.

And I realized this when I started my agency.

I would get DMs from people, pitching their services.

And I hated them.

Because:

I was busy and exhausted, so I didn’t want to bother myself with someone who would keep on pitching me something without highlighting my problems.
I had no trust in them.
It felt copy pasted.

So, I decided to find a new approach to this.

And I found that building a relationship is the key to this.

And it takes a whole lot more than just DMing people.
