Creating Content that Gets People DMing you
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
contrary to popular belief..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it is possible to get people DMing YOU about your services.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't get me wrong, we are all about finding your own opportunities and prospecting (AKA DM sales & appointment setting), but content is the best way to leverage the DMs to not only nurture those you've started a conversation with, but attract ideal clients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A well-rounded business has MULTIPLE marketing strategies for success.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So how do you get people DMing you?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Consistency - Post at minimum 2x/week onto the platform of your choosing (I'd pick one to start!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Knowing your Ideal client - if you don't know who you're talking to and what they actually struggle with, coming up with content ideas is going to be pretty tough.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Authenticity - say what you mean and mean what you say. You're going to p**s some people off with your content, but you're going to really help another. Don't dance around your opinions. Be yourself
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4) Create value-driven content - sales posts or how you made X amount in your business is getting old. Yes, they are sexy and talking about your results is smart business, but balance it out by revealing content that will help your audience create wins and take positive steps toward the goal that you help with.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this post was helpful, SAVE IT and if you want more help creation content that nurtures AND sells your audience...

After cold call #50 of the day, I officially decided that I HATED sales.
I didn't dislike sales ... I HATED sales.
This then lead me to avoid sales in my first two businesses ... so you can guess how those went 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, I worked on creating my website, obsessing over my color palette, & blogging. I was so focused on creating a business that looked good on the outside that I forgot the most important part of running a business... making money.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's a bit embarrassing to admit that BUT it was that experience that lead me to understand the importance of having a strong sales mindset.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we first started ACM, & I worked inside client accounts, I would transform into a DM sales machine because I wasn't afraid of rejection - they weren't rejecting me they were rejecting my client's offer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that's EXACTLY what stops so many of you guys! The fear of being rejected, but let me just tell you that it's never about you. You could say the most perfect thing in the DM's and still, have a lead say no.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT sales mindset isn't just about being able to take no's. It's about believing so much in your offer that you are laser-focused on the one activity that is guaranteed to move you forward. No, it's not your site or starting a podcast (yes, those things have a time and place as well)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's about getting scrappy and going out there and talking to people! By out there I mean the DM's!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I so wish I would have known that when I first started out in the online space. The one thing I had sworn off was the one thing I needed to do the most & it wasn't in the form of cold calling but instead, relationship building through the DM's.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't let the fear of rejection or the latest marketing trend distract you from your #1 goal..serving people.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now tell me - do you and sales have a complicated relationship?

The gift that keeps on giving… We are coming at you LIVE March 23 & 24th for the masterclass that's going to help you attract more leads to your business.

Taking Leads from Cold to Hot: Content Creation Masterclass
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The number one reason we deny people to work with us on the DFY side?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their content doesn't nurture or convert their leads or is INCONSISTENT
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Content and DMs go hand in hand..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Leads need to SEE visible proof that you know what you're talking about and can help them achieve their goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, I'm gonna teach you how to do just that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the masterclass you'll learn:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 4 types of posts that attract, nurture and convert leads
- How to Create a Month’s Worth of Content Ideas in 1hr
- The Key to Creating Content that Drives Community & Trust
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know you want to be able to bring in 5-10+ leads for your business a month and THIS is where you need to show up for yourself in order to work you way there.

We don’t know if we’ve told you this but..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We still get nervous talking to strangers in the DMs from time to time 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is something we don’t talk about often, but it’s time you knew the truth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because the truth is, when you get out of your comfort zone it’s okay to be nervous.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In fact,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We believe that being nervous is a sign that you’re ‘playing in the ring’ as Brene Brown would say.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do we get nervous about you ask?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
REJECTION.
MISUNDERSTANDING.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You see, when you do something.. Especially sending DMs to strangers in the current age of cold DMs and fake friendships to get sales..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Intentions aren’t always seen clearly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And sometimes we get responses from people who clearly are on guard from a previously negative DM sales process experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So yeah, we get nervous from time to time 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now the real question, why does this matter to you?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because by letting you in on the truth, you’ll realize that even people you see as ‘having it altogether’..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At least not 100% of the time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can make tons of tons of money, have a successful business, and still experience feelings of fear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are all human.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And why does showing your human matter? Because being a THRIVING business owner depends on it - it's easier to be yourself than someone you pretend to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swipe for 3 reasons “showing your human’ will help you thrive in life & business.
