Get Replies That Start Real Conversations

(From the Lead Gen Operating System — 1 of 5 proven flows)

Hook + Authority + Positioning = More Replies

Cold DMs usually flop because they sound like templates or pitches.

This 4-step flow is built for ambitious professionals who want to open profitable conversations with the exact people they want to work with — without coming off as spam or wasting hours chasing dead ends.

It’s one module from my Lead Gen Operating System — the same system solopreneurs and creators use to turn strangers into warm leads in days, not weeks.

When to Use

• No prior interaction but the prospect is a strong ICP fit
• You can personalize based on their profile, content, or business activity
• Goal: start a conversation, give an immediate win, then open the door for a call

Why It Works

• Opens with specifics only your ideal prospects would recognize
• Drops a quick win that solves a real money/time problem
• Ends with a live-only next step that builds authority and urgency
