#1154 - How to get attention in the DMs

<p>You send a thoughtful DM, and it sits there unread with everything else in their inbox.</p><p><br></p><p>𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂&#39;𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why splitting your DM into short messages gets it noticed, the risk of annoying the person you&#39;re messaging, and when a bit of risk is worth it to win attention.</p><p><br></p><p>There are two kinds of people in the DMs. One writes the whole message and sends it in one go. The other sends a line, then another, then another. Same message. Very different effect on the other person&#39;s phone.</p><p><br></p><p>James explains why the second approach almost always gets read. Ten notifications instead of one creates curiosity. Who sent me all these? But like voice notes, some people love it and some people can&#39;t stand it. You only find out after you&#39;ve sent it. That&#39;s the gamble, and sometimes grabbing attention means taking it.</p><p><br></p><p>𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱</p><p>LinkedIn DM tips</p><p>How to get your messages read</p><p>Social selling</p><p>Sales prospecting on social media</p><p>Getting attention in direct messages</p><p>Message formatting for replies</p><p>Voice notes in sales</p><p>Buyer attention and curiosity</p><p><br></p><p>This is episode 1154 of the Daily Sales Message podcast.</p><p>Hit follow so you never miss an episode.</p><p>.</p><p>𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀</p><p>LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesnewelluk/</p><p>.</p><p>📩 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲</p><p>Daily practical sales tips covering sales messaging, sales psychology, B2B selling and conversion improvement.</p><p>Most deals are lost in explanation, not negotiation.</p><p>.</p><p>𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽)</p><p>https://www.practicalsalestraining.com</p><p>.</p><p>𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴</p><p>https://www.clearsalesmessage.com</p><p>.</p><p>Clear Sales Message™ helps companies communicate their value clearly so buyers understand faster and buy with confidence.</p>
