The Cold DM Playbook: 85+ Scripts That Get Replies + DM Tracker
I sent 47 cold DMs my first night and got zero replies. This is the book I wish someone had handed me: three years of cold DMing, the messages that flopped, the ones that landed clients, and every script I still use today.
Written for freelancers, agencies and service businesses who want clients from Instagram, LinkedIn, X and email without paying for ads. You don't need a big following.
What's inside the playbook (50-page PDF)
- Real conversations, shown as DM and email screenshots: my terrible first DM next to the one that won my first client, the follow-up that got a reply on attempt four, the "not interested" that came back five months later
- The 4-part DM formula (hook, bridge, offer, ask) and the 8 mistakes that get messages ignored
- Before you send: offer builder, profile checklist and four ways to show proof with no clients yet
- Finding prospects: where to look on each platform, a qualifying checklist and the 3-touch warm-up
- The Script Library: 54 scripts in 5 families: Cold Outreach (12), Warm Lead (10), Follow-up (10), Replies & Objections (12) and Closing (10), each with a note on when to use it
- Swipe file: 33 scripts for 11 services, from social media managers and web designers to UGC creators and bookkeepers
- The numbers and staying safe: daily quota, funnel worksheet, and how to avoid account restrictions
- Printables: 30-day DM sprint, weekly review, script tester and a cheat sheet
The Cold DM Tracker (Excel + Google Sheets)
- Prospect list for 500 people with drop-downs for platform, status and all 87 scripts
