Stop Messaging Like a Desperate Salesperson


Listen Later

Most people fail on LinkedIn before they ever send the first message. Not because the platform is oversaturated. Not because the algorithm is working against them. But because they're starting conversations the wrong way — and prospects can feel it instantly.

In this episode, Kim Walsh Phillips and Justin Guarini break down the exact LinkedIn messaging sequence that builds real relationships and turns connections into clients, without ever feeling pushy, awkward, or salesy.

You'll discover:

  • Why cramming a pitch into your connection request is the fastest way to get deleted — and the ridiculously simple message that actually gets accepted
  • The one psychological shift that moves someone from cold contact to willing participant in a conversation
  • Why sending a link the second someone connects with you kills trust — and what to do instead
  • The permission-based value sequence Kim and Justin use to open doors without ever feeling like spam
  • Why your free resource needs to solve ONE specific problem — and the exact type of offer that gets people to say yes immediately
  • How to build a network of people who are genuinely excited to hear from you, not just a list of people you've pressured into responding

If your LinkedIn outreach feels like online speed dating — or worse, a timeshare presentation — this episode will show you exactly how to fix it.
