Hello Community!!
You’re sending great, insight-driven InMails—that’s amazing! But there’s a critical step that happens right after you hit send that many beginners miss.
The Research is Clear: After a prospect receives an InMail from a seller they don't know, the very first thing they do is check the sender's personal LinkedIn profile.
Think of your profile as the landing page for your InMail. If they click and see an empty, generic, or inactive page, they instantly hit DELETE on your message.
💡 Quick Fix: Three Ways to "Prep" Your Profile
Before you send any more InMails, spend 10 minutes checking these three basic profile activities:
-
Professional Headline: Does it clearly state WHO you help and HOW? (Example: ❌ Bad: "Account Executive" | ✅ Good: "Helping SaaS Startups Streamline Customer Onboarding.")
-
Recent Activity: Have you liked, shared, or commented on any industry-relevant posts in the last week? An active profile shows you are a credible participant, not just a seller.
-
Clean Summary/About: Does your summary quickly explain your value in 2-3 sentences? (Keep it simple, focused on their problems.)
The Takeaway: Your Sales Navigator message opens the door, but your personal profile either welcomes them in or slams the door shut.
