About

I send a lot of DMs. the ones that get replies usually break the rule everyone teaches. The rule: "short, lead with value, clear CTA." what actually worked last week, across 40 DMs: the 3 that landed had no CTA at all. just a real observation about something they'd shipped, said plainly, then stop. one replied in four minutes. we're talking next week. What I post: the weekly craft of outbound. the reps, the misses, the small changes that move reply rates. this month's lesson, the one that surprised me: getting better at outbound is subtraction. cut the CTA from the first touch, replies went up. cut the second paragraph, reply quality went up. cut the "just following up" email, nobody noticed. The test i use now: would i send this if i couldn't sell them anything? if the answer is no, it's a pitch in a DM costume, and people can smell it. a DM isn't a landing page. it's the start of a conversation, and conversations start with curiosity, not value props. follow for the field notes. i write up the craft in more depth in my newsletter, link below.
