Engage Like a Pro


Hi Reader,

When was the last time someone contacted YOU?⁣

Bet 😬 it's been a while.⁣

⁣Here's why:⁣

Nobody's targeting us. No cold emails, no follow-ups, no calls. ⁣

⁣We're ghosts to sellers.⁣

⁣Slowly, we forget what good outreach feels like:⁣

What makes people actually reply⁣

What grabs attention without annoying⁣

Where the line between persistent and pushy is⁣

❌ If you can't feel it, you can't create it ❌⁣

⁣I see it most of the time, and we send stuff we'd ignore ourselves.⁣

If that’s you 🫵 here’s how to fix it:⁣

Roleplay your target ICP (your ideal client/customer)⁣

Either the Director of Marketing, the VP of Sales, or the CEO.⁣

Subscribe everywhere⁣

Download a few lead magnets from them. Sign up for some free tools. Let them chat/email you.⁣

Study what makes YOU reply (subject lines? humor?)⁣

Which message gets your attention? Which LinkedIn DMs feel human? Which ones annoy you?⁣

Save the good ones⁣

Create a swipe file. Use it to inspire your own outbound. Don't just copy, adapt what's working.⁣

Join their communities (fb groups, Slack, Reddit)⁣

Go where your ICP hangs out. See what they’re complaining about.⁣

It’s the fastest way to spot bad prospecting… and the best way to avoid doing the same.⁣

You can’t write what works if you forget what works. Try being the prospect again.⁣

This is how you stay relevant.⁣

That’s how you write messages that actually get replies, and that’s how you win.⁣

.Most LinkedIn outbound advice is obsessed with message length. The problem isn’t that your message is too long. The problem is the prospect has no idea why you’re reaching out. Before you send the DM, you need three things: A trigger — why now? A reason — why them? A low-friction ask — why should they reply? Because if you can’t answer those three questions, even the perfect script won’t save you. Here are 7 ways to improve your chats: 1.Short only works when the reason is clear. Under 150...

Holiday Greetings That Actually Book Calls

.Hi, Bestie!Consider this your sign: batiin mo na yung magiging client mo. Kahit simpleng Happy Holidays lang. Walang pitch. You just need to show up… lightly. Here’s why this works: Q1 is the best quarter. Buyers are already planning, budgeting, and quietly looking for new solutions and new partners. December is when they’re most reflective and most open. So instead of disappearing this month, try this: • Send holiday greetings to prospects who replied before • Follow up lost deals earlier...
