How to DM a potential client without sounding too salesy
Sliding into someone’s DM nowadays can either work in your favor or go south real quick.
It can be quite nerve wrecking.
Some clients will respond to you with a polite decline.
Others will ignore you completely.
But what if I told you there’s a way to DM a potential client without coming off as too salesy?
No one likes to be pitched constantly, especially in their personal messages on social media.
How can you make a good first impression and potentially land a client through DMs?
So, before you reach out to someone, do your homework first. It shows you’re serious about collaborating and helps you tailor your message just right.
Be real and personal — skip the generic stuff. Address them by name, mention what caught your eye about their work. It makes you stand out and shows you care.
When you write, focus on connecting genuinely and showing your value.
No sales pitch! Share what makes you a great fit for their project.
