Are you tired of sending out LinkedIn connection requests only to hear crickets in response?

We ran a LinkedIn Experiment where we took our Dream 100 list and tested two different ways to connect.

One approach we connected WITHOUT a message.

That got an abysmal 4.9% acceptance rate.

I was SHOCKED. I thought it wouldn’t be very effective, but I didn’t think it’d be THAT bad.

Question for you: how often do you connect on LinkedIn without a message?

Keep in mind of 100 people you would do this with, only 5 would be accepting your request.

Shockingly enough, we ran another Dream 100 group where we left a PERSONALIZED message.

This group we got a 20-40% acceptance rate!

Holy cow! That is FOUR TO NINE TIMES the response!

Side note: How much time do you waste missing opportunities to optimize your current sales process?

Tune in to this week’s episode to discover:

The 4 Biggest Mistakes Every Salesperson makes on LinkedIn that Kills Your Chances of Connecting: You’re shooting yourself in the foot if you’re doing these four things (and trust me majority of sales reps are).
9 Ways to Humanize Your LinkedIn Request that Generated 4-9x the Response: You’ll see a myriad of examples that work, when connecting with prospects on LinkedIn.

For the first time ever I broke down a step by step system for how to get in the door with a cold prospect.

I remember taking a personality profile test 15 years ago and my ability to cold prospect was off the charts, so much so my father sent my results to Tony Robbins to brag. ;)

This may be hard for many, but for me, it’s my superpower to get in any door and I wanted to share with you these simple-to-follow steps.

You can connect with literally ANYONE with enough pig headed discipline and determination.

Tune in to find out 9 different ways to make a great first impression on LinkedIn.
