VIDEO MESSAGING THROUGH LINKEDIN
Struggling to Connect on LinkedIn? Try a Personalized Message!
This episode is all about the power of personalized messages on LinkedIn. Forget generic emails and impersonal texts - a well-crafted message can be the key to making a strong professional connection.
Here's what you'll hear:
- Make it Personal: Generic messages get ignored. Take the time to mention something specific from the person's profile that caught your eye. This shows you've done your research and genuinely care about connecting.
- Be Yourself: Don't try to craft some overly impressive persona. People respond to authenticity. Be yourself, be friendly, and be clear about why you're reaching out.
- The Power of Voice: Text and email lack the warmth and personality you can convey in a direct message. A personalized LinkedIn message allows you to show your enthusiasm and build rapport in a way written communication simply can't.
- Stand Out from the Crowd: Personalized messages help you cut through the noise. People get tons of generic connection requests, but a message that shows you've taken an interest is much more likely to get a response.
- Avoid the Spam Trap: There's a fine line between personalization and being spammy. Focus on building a connection, not a sales pitch.
By following these tips, you can leverage the power of personalized messages to build meaningful connections on LinkedIn and expand your professional network.
