Hey team,

I’ve got something 🔥 for you this week.

You already know cold DMs are one of the best ways to book sales calls on LinkedIn — if you know how to cut through the noise.

So, here’s a real message my colleague, Terry, got from Stephen, a Prosp user last week:

He tried it after we tested 34 different intros.
That one line? 9 replies. 4 calls booked. All in under 7 days.

No gimmicks. No fluff. No fake urgency.

Just a smart opener that does two things:
– Interrupts the pattern
– Sounds human

And when you’re messaging VPs, C-levels, or even busy founders… that’s what gets replies.

So I recorded a full masterclass breaking it all down:

→ Breaks down the single best-performing DM opener (used to book 20+ calls/week)
→ Explains why most outreach fails and how to make yours sound human
→ Includes a mini-script you can copy for your next Prosp sequence

→ Reverse-engineers the exact cold DM approach Hormozi would use in 2025
→ Shows how to create offers that pull people in without pitching
→ Bonus: how to get leads to chase you by using comment signals

→ Full walkthrough of the 3-step strategy that books daily sales calls
→ Covers positioning, signal-based messaging, and follow-up structure
→ Great for freelancers, agencies, and consultants with outbound goals

→ Shows how to use Prosp to send AI-personalised DMs and voice notes
→ Scraping leads from groups, events, posts, and more (step-by-step)
→ Real account setup → live sequence building → analytics tracking

 

You don’t need to “trick” people into replying.

You just need to sound like someone worth replying to.

Try this opener and let me know how it goes.

See you next Monday 👊
