The entire video is so well-structured that I didn’t come across anything irrelevant or unengaging. It’s excellently organized and packed with the latest, most valuable information.
Networking on LinkedIn is my forte, but this sums up all the things I have been doing and puts it into a convenient and easy to understand guide. I felt like I was watching the last two years of my life summed up. The one thing I would argue though is brain drain... I have gotten far better reactions by asking power questions that make the person think in new ways in terms of you. It makes them remember you...but these questions must be about THEM. As Dale Carnegie said the topic people love to talk about the most is... them. Closed ended questions are fun little ice breakers... but I would rather do my homework and have a few power questions that revolve around them and things that they have done that they aren't going to be asked 300 times a day, and can't end the conversation in a few words.
@@thefutur I mean he touched on it a bit, but showing that you've done your homework. I am creating my own fragrance house, and the perfumery industry is traditionally very tight lipped. I went through a situation last year that had me at home on rest for a long time. I started messaging successful people in the industry about a year ago using "power questions", but most importantly all 5 elements (I did not have a name for them though, but value is the most important...often it would be a fragrance layering combo, sometimes a BBQ recipe, anything we had in common as an anchor), but the ask was the thing that stands out to me. I never asked for ANYTHING besides their story and to hear their experience. I don't network because I want something from somebody, I network to make and maintain lasting relationships. I have heard back from almost everyone I messaged. I have meetings with perfumers and people in the industry all next week for my briefs on my initial collection. Many of these people have been mentoring me, and I have asked none of them to (except for my original business mentor, I aske him but he knows nothing about fragrance outside of from when he did the turnaround for Barney's NY the first time). Great video and always great content. Thank you.
LinkedIn has been nothing but a complete waist of time for me. I actually put stuff on the table. Nobody is actually accomplishing anything other than creating more content.
@@ryananderson1887 thanks for that note. It's helpful to get extra nuggets from your own experience Ryan. Which one of the 5 dm pillars do you feel you want to work on more?
If most sales people adopted these approach, they won't close a sale in a month! I helped sales teams in multiple industries to master sales navigator. It's not sexy, but being direct helps helps you get to a reply and then a meeting.The key is to message those that have a need for your product/service. I wonder how has these tips made you millions?
"The key is to message those that have a need for your product/service". Yeah that is true, but what if not only you but tonnes of other Gurus or Agencys write those spammy messages? If you have a no brainer offer which is unique in the market i'd totally agree with you. If you sell medicine which cure cancer then go for it. But if you sell software, or a service where the market is tight this wont work.
This was absolute gold Matt, thank you very much! It helped to reaffirm a lot of what I already do on LinkedIn but also helped to tighten up what I could be doing better. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Interesting, I’m annoyed when people reach out to me on LinkedIn asking me these type of questions. My first reaction is “who are you for me to tell you what I think or how I feel about x?” 😅 It’s clear to me that their intention is to sell 😝
I am absolutely gonna give these a try. While I have done some variation of the 5 components in my LinkedIn DMs subconsciously, I am gonna try giving them a do-over and having a few more elements in there! Let's goooo!
Message like a Millennial, heard someone the other day mention to message someone assuming they are going to reply with their thumb in the parking lot on the way from their car to the building. Makes sense to make it that easy.
What makes you think these strategies wouldn’t work for introverts? Is there anything more introverted than sitting behind a computer typing on a keyboard?
@@Matt_EssamAs an introvert myself, my social battery still gets drained when I text several people in a week. Having to think about conversation starters and good questions especially when socializing is not my thing feels heavy. But you know, I gotta do what I gotta do to get the results I want to get. Though I don't message people everyday to preserve my sanity. Maybe like once a week, I'll do about 7 to 10 people.
@@Matt_Essam Thanks for taking time to give advice. Writing is my strong suit. I do make content but I do know that if I want to speed track my results, I gotta do more until my content starts to yield results.
Do people find the anchor followed by the question about the anchor to be useful? I would think it's too many questions that are in different directions. Only question I want them focused on is "What time works for a meeting?" after demonstrating value and all of that. I can see a line about an anchor to be helpful but flooding them with questions feels like homework. They should feel cradled not interrogated. Curious what others think.
I'm sure like many people I'm contacted every day by businesses offering their services, I wish they'd watch this video! Just downloaded your book. Looking forward to reading it. Have you tried using other platforms or do you find LinkedIn the best for your clients?

Thought provoking questions work for me as well

Why is this Video so Underrated! This Guy is Actually stating FACTS.
I have been combing TH-cam for videos on TH-cam DMs, this is the best!
Awesome Matt & Futur. Thank you! I find this clear & concise and gives me a whole lot more clarity on how to do outreach on LinkedIn.

Super helpful tips Matt for mastering DMs in a non spammy way!
Great guy. Your Masterclass is super rich with so much valuable content
Create more

That’s why the anchor and compliment is so important. Without these there is no trust or rapport

One thing for sure, this century is not for introverts.

Sounds like you need to find another way to connect with people then. Writing maybe?

Perhaps… and perhaps it is

I was looking for something like this, this will definitely help...
Awesome, thanks Matt a lot :')
Awesome
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fanstic. I love these tips. Can you help me?
I feel now that LinkedIn has jumped the shark.
To jump the shark…
to reach a peak; beginning a downhill slide towards mediocrity or oblivion

15:22 Look I bet this comment won't get pinned or like but if replied I'll do 10 push ups which won't happen I hope.
Hit the floor
Make it 30
😂
..followed by 80 jumping jacks
+10 for each new comment…
the person managing @thefutur did not waste a second
i am eail copywriter ,what wuill be mt CTA like

I'm sure like many people I'm contacted every day by businesses offering their services, I wish they'd watch this video!
Just downloaded your book. Looking forward to reading it.

There's a book?
What's the title?
