Tune in to uncover the secrets that could significantly boost your outreach success.
LinkedIn Outreach Tactics
● Data shows that sending connection requests without a message can yield a 3% increase in acceptance rates compared to those with messages.
● The human tendency to judge based on profiles quickly favors simple connection requests over potentially off-putting sales pitches.
● For optimal outcomes, engage with prospects before sending connection requests to establish a common ground.
Effective Email Strategies
● Tracking emails can be crucial for marketing but detrimental in sales; focus on replies instead of opens to enhance engagement.
● Plain text emails outperform those with images or attachments, ensuring better deliverability and higher reply rates.
● Use personalization in your emails to connect deeply with leads; mention specific, relevant details that resonate with them.
Multi-Channel Campaign Insights
● Engaging prospects through multiple channels increases visibility and response rates, with LinkedIn DMs achieving up to a 10% reply rate compared to email's 2-5%.
● Combining outreach methods (email, LinkedIn, etc.) helps build trust and familiarity with potential clients, driving higher engagement.
● Prioritize server matching in outreach campaigns to improve deliverability rates and overall effectiveness.
Homework Challenge or Action Steps
● Test your next batch of LinkedIn connection requests without messages for improved acceptance.
● Create a plain text email outreach campaign focusing solely on obtaining replies rather than opens.
"Even if that were the reply you negative, you know, I'm not interested but you're interested enough to take your time and reply to that person." ● Fernando Pires.
