How I got deals with this follow-up shift

Hey friend,

When I first started sending DMs to grow what I was building, I was convinced the problem was the message.

I spent hours writing the “perfect” first line.

Rewrote intros. Added context. Cut fluff.

Even A/B tested emojis (yes, I went there). 😅

But still, silence.

And not the kind that feels neutral. The kind that quietly chips away at your momentum.

At some point, I stopped tweaking the message and looked at the system around it.

That’s when it hit me:

The message wasn’t the problem. The lack of follow-up was. 🧠

I was assuming:

• If they didn’t reply, they weren’t interested.

• Following up made me annoying.

• Great copy should convert on its own.

But what I’ve learned (the hard way) is that most people aren’t ignoring you, they’re just busy. 🕒

And thoughtful follow-ups?

They don’t feel like pressure.

They feel like clarity. A gentle nudge.

A “Hey, I still think this could be useful to you.” 🤝

Once I built a system to automate follow-ups that didn’t sound robotic, my results changed completely:

✅ More replies

✅ More conversations

✅ Less mental noise about who I’d followed up with, and when

I wasn’t chasing attention anymore.

I was just being consistent. 📈

If you’re sending good DMs and still hearing crickets, it might not be your message.

It might just be that you stopped showing up before they had a chance to respond. ✨
