How To Get Clients Through LinkedIn Cold Outreach

Dang trained at Oracle and has spent years teaching LinkedIn-specific outreach, and this video walks through his actual process for messaging prospects who've never heard of you. Useful if email feels too impersonal for your specific buyer and you want the LinkedIn side worked out in similar depth to the cold email advice above.

  • Optimize your profile first, prospects check it before they decide whether to reply.
  • Lead with a specific reason you reached out to that person, not a generic pitch.
  • Treat LinkedIn as a relationship channel, plan for more touches than you'd use over email.
