Prioritising Warm Signals as They Appear
Prioritising Warm Signals as They Appear
When someone engages with your LinkedIn profile, posts, or sends a connection request, it's a great opportunity to start a chat. The sooner, the better.
Use these warm signals to start chatting in a way that feels natural and relevant.
1. Profile Views
- Respond thoughtfully to those who've shown interest by visiting your profile:
Example: "Hey [Name], I noticed you checked out my profile. Just curious—are you looking for [desired outcome] or just enjoying my content?
2. Post Engagement
- Reach out to those who interact with your posts by acknowledging their interest and inviting a response:
Example for Likes: "Hi [Name], thanks for liking my post on [topic]. Are you trying to solve [related challenge or solution], or just liked what I had to say?"
Example for Comments: "Hey [Name], I loved your comment on my post about [topic]. Are you working on a [related challenge or solution]?"
Example for Reposts: "Hi [Name], noticed you reposted my post about [topic]. Thank you! Is [related challenge or solution] your focus at the moment?"
3. New Connection Requests
- Welcome new connections while encouraging them to share their intentions:
Example: "Hi [Name], thanks for connecting! Are you here to learn more about [specific challenges or solutions] or just checking out content? Either way, great to connect!"
Why These Work:
- Two Clear Paths: Offering specific options like "exploring ideas" or "working on a challenge" gives them a simple way to engage, reducing decision friction.
- Acknowledging Their Intent: Directly referencing their interaction (view, like, comment, etc.) makes your message feel personal and timely.
- Conversation Starters: These examples don't just acknowledge warm signals—they're designed to elicit responses and open dialogue.
By using these examples, you're not just replying to warm signals—you're turning them into actionable conversations that build trust and momentum.
