#420 - LinkedIn DM Teardown: Social Proof Gone Wrong
📫 Don't miss the best cold outreach tips, join the newsletter - https://quickmail.com/newsletter About this episode (#420): In this episode, Jack and Jeremy do a live teardown of two real LinkedIn DMs, breaking down what works, what doesn't, and how to rewrite them for better results. Key topics discussed in this episode: Leading with a high-credibility asset like a Seth Godin interview can work, but the framing needs to challenge or intrigue the reader rather than just name-drop. Getting the recipient's job title wrong immediately undermines the message and accuracy in list building matters. The transition between a value-first message and a pitch should feel natural and not as a bait-and-switch. Pitching a sponsor's tool in a cold follow-up feels forced, it's better to call out the connection honestly and let the reader opt in. A weak or absent CTA kills momentum, always give the reader a clear next step. Framing an offer as a gift or sample is far more compelling than a direct ask. The best outbound copy feels like something worth receiving, not something worth ignoring. Small reframes in tone and structure can be the difference between a reply and a delete.
