The Answer To This Question Will Blow Your Mind

Posted April 26, 2018

There’s a question that I’ve been asking now for at least 5 years in all of my Sales Playbook communities and with all of my coaching and training clients as well.

The answers I receive are sad but if you’re a “glass half full” type of persona;

There’s a huge opportunity!

The question I ask is;

What percentage of your LinkedIn “connections” make an honest effort to stay in touch with you once you connect?

The answer I typically hear is;

5-10%

No, that ISN’T a typo.

Let me put it a different way;

90-95% percent of the people we connect with on LinkedIn, do NOTHING after the invite has been accepted

Earmuffs kids, I’m about to get colorful with my language.

Are you F*cking kidding me?

Seriously, it’s a SOCIAL network and don’t you dare blame LinkedIn for that.

It isn’t the platform, its a bunch of people who either don’t know what to do or they know what to do and they’re lazy.

But here’s the silver lining . . . 

If 90-95% are doing NOTHING after they connect then;

What an incredible opportunity for someone with a communication plan to STAND OUT!

The “noise” that people refer to on LinkedIn ISN’T in the inbox, it isn’t in one’s mailbox (you know, that ancient thing called “snail mail”), it isn’t via phone (you know, when you take that “connection” and make it human).

And forgive me again for being blunt but;

Is the reason why YOU do nothing after YOU connect with someone because you DON’T know what to say or is it because you’re lazy?

For the last week, I’ve been promoting my How To Generate MORE Leads Via LinkedIn webinar.

It’s a complete communication plan (with 10 email templates too).

My advice would be to drop the $99 and join us.

I get into the actual tactics and share 10 templates I created to help you;

Work a proven communication plan from the moment you say “hello” to the moment you transition that “connection” off of your computer screen.

Here’s what you’ll GAIN by joining us;

  • What to say and do, from the moment, you connect with someone. And I’m going to give you the exact templates that I’ve been using!
  • How to position yourself apart from your competition.
  • How to provide value WITHOUT conditioning a bunch of freeloaders who love to “friendzone” you! Another lesson that I learned the hard way!
  • How to create a referral machine . . .Even with people who’ve never bought from you!
  • How to IMMEDIATELY increase your phone appointments each week. Note: My coaching clients average 10 more appointments each week. Your mileage may vary.
  • How to send inmails without paying for a premium membership.
  • How to dramatically increase your response rates via LinkedIn.
  • How to approach someone without coming across as salesy. How do you feel when this happens to you on LinkedIn?
  • How to do this all on a tight schedule (I mean, I’m sure you don’t have all day to play around on LinkedIn, right?

AT THE END OF THIS TRAINING, YOU’LL HAVE THE FRAMEWORK FOR A POWERFUL LEAD GENERATION SYSTEM!

The investment is only $99 and here’s what you’ll get;
