Welcome to The Revenue Generator

Hey there, it’s Harris!

Welcome to the Revenue Generator where I share 1 tactic each week that you can implement to help you generate more revenue.

It’s hard to stick out in sales.

Most people take the easy way out and are doing AI mass messaging.

I don’t believe that works.

Today, I’ll share 5 types of messages that actually do work.

Today’s Topic - 5 Ideas for Direct Messages in Sales

We all receive those TERRIBLE LinkedIn direct messages.

And I'm convinced they never work.

So I wanted to share 5 ideas that work for direct messages.

But none of these can be done via mass messaging:


1. Provide a valuable resource

Don't just share a valuable resource with someone but do your research on why they'd find it valuable.

Google them, read their LinkedIn, or mention someone similar that found it helpful.

Then share the resource without any expectation.


2. Connect them to someone in your network

This is the most underutilized thing someone can do.

Who is this person's target market that you know?

Offering to introduce them to someone is a great way to make this cold connection warm


3. Mention in one sentence how you can help them

Nobody is reading long sales pitches.

I repeat, nobody is reading cold long sales pitches.

Be as concise as humanly possible in that first sentence if you can't do option 1 or 2 above.


4. Engage with their content and then message them about it

I know this one infers that they create content.

But, if they do, share a thoughtful response to what they took the time to put together.

This shows that you did your research and care about what they care about.


5. Make a personal connection to someone you both know

Again, this shows that you did your research.

You also want to make sure that you actually know the person you reference in case they message them.


All of these require spending time and doing research.

None of these are AI bots sending thousands of spam messages.

Personally, I don't believe in that type of outreach.

I'd rather send 10 thoughtful messages than 100 mass blasting.

FREE Webinar - How to Monetize Your Niche By Leveraging LinkedIn in 2024

I've received a lot of questions about recommendations for how to generate revenue from LinkedIn.

So I've decided to put on a public free webinar to share some ideas.

It'll happen on Monday, December 18 at 11 am ET.

If you are interested in learning how you can better utilize LinkedIn, we'd love to have you.

How we can work together:

1. LinkedIn Agency for Executives - If you are an Executive or work with an Executive that you think could benefit from posting more on LinkedIn, I’d be happy to talk.
   
   I’ve spent 2+ years understanding how the algorithm works and how you can generate more business opportunities and find new talent by being active and creating content.
   

2. LinkedIn Workshops for Sales Teams - I have been doing in-person and virtual workshops for sales teams to help them understand how they can best use LinkedIn to generate new business opportunities.

3. Get Started with LinkedIn - Join 400+ individuals who have purchased this playbook to create content that sells on LinkedIn. This is the system I’ve used to help Executives generate over $2M from LinkedIn. https://hfanaroff19.gumroad.com/l/linkedinplaybook
