How to Stand Out in Your Outreach

- Send video or audio messages (as a matter of fact, consider 150 a week on LinkedIn, and on the other hand consider that text is easy to ignore)
- Follow them.
- Message example: Hi it’s ____. Love xyz. Just wanted to say hi.
Second: Invite to FB group./Collab, invite or feedback…Consider what should be put on profile?
How To Get Your Audience to Want to Hear What You Have to Say
- Consider the numbers and the Rule of 10 (see below).
- Realize that “no” is a part of the game, so don’t get discouraged.
- If someone isn’t interested, ask them if they know someone who would be.
- Cold selling direct messages where you are just upfront selling does not work.
- Consistency is key. As Mike mentioned, he produces anywhere between 150-250 videos per week.
The Rule of 10
Consider that usually 10% should be the goal for responses from your outreach. Likewise, you should be able to get 10% of the 10% in responses to say yes to your offer. For instance, if you reach out to 100 people, you should be receiving around 10 responses. Likewise, from the 10 responses you receive, one should be a yes. On the other hand, don’t be discouraged from the no’s. As a matter of fact, the word “no” is just a part of the game! A no is even an opportunity. For instance, they may know someone who can benefit from your products or services.
