Añadido: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]If you're trying to get to your first client, and you don't have a budget for ads or no audience, then the fastest way you can get to your first client is through cold DMs. But unfortunately, most people do cold DMs the wrong way.

[00:00:12]They just randomly send out text messages, or they copy-paste one DM over and over again to multiple business owners, getting their account banned. So today, let's go over all the strategies that we are seeing work very, very well in 2026. So first, let's talk a little bit more about why your DM strategy isn't working. Now, what I highly recommend, and a lot of people get this wrong with DMs, is not to focus on just volume. It's actually to focus on quality. And I know we don't necessarily hear this often with cold outreach.

[00:00:42]People usually say volume negates luck here, but quality can also mean everything. So if you're constantly DMing a lot of random people, or people who aren't your ideal ICP, it's going to be a lot harder for you to close clients versus if you just target people who might need your services, who would be a good fit to work with you and your team.

[00:01:01]Now, number one, I already mentioned this, but typically, I've seen this over and over again, but a lot of businesses send the same message to multiple different business owners. They just probably change the first name, or they keep it very, very generic and just change the company name. Now, most of the time, the person on the other end can tell it's a mass message, which really, really hurts your conversion rate. And that really hurts conversion because the goal of a DM is to start a conversation. And now, the next thing we're going to talk about are the three steps that you can take to actually fix your current DM strategy. Number one, observation, two, connection, and three is question. So, number one, let's talk a little bit more about observation. So, when you're trying to DM someone, we want to notice something that is unique to them. Now, this might be you going into their Instagram page and seeing that they are doing something different, and you write a small comment about it.

[00:01:53]And now, this makes the message a lot more personalized, but it also tells the business owner on the other side that you took your time to actually go through their page, which they will appreciate a lot more than a mass message. Number two in this is connection. Why are you messaging them and why is it relevant to your business?

[00:02:09]And that leads us to our third point, question. Now, the goal of the question is essentially to get a response back from the person we just DM'd. Now, the goal of this is to make it as short as possible. So, keep this process very short as well. So, everything my team and I do when we cold DM Again, never send out mass messages. Make sure you're sending it to the correct person and that they are highly targeted messages for better conversion. So, if this was helpful, please give me a quick like and if you have any questions, feel free to leave them down in the comments and I'd be happy to help you guys out.
