(Steal This Cold Message That Actually Got a Reply) 95% of DMs being sent right now? 💩 They read like a Fiverr VA copy-pasted it from a 2021 YouTube tutorial. You know the ones… ❌ “Hey [First Name], I help busy founders scale to 6-figures using my proven 3-step system…” ❌ “Quick question for you... 👀” ❌ “I saw your profile and thought we might be a great fit!” If you’ve ever sent one of those, this is your intervention. Because you’re not just being ignored—you’re being categorized. 🧠 As forgettable. 🗑️ As background noise. 📉 As someone not worth replying to. 🧠 How I Flipped It, just like @Jay Feldman teaches. Instead of ignoring a guy who’d been DM'ing me like an amnesiac AI… And this guy is a fairly well established influencer with a sizable IG YT & Skool Community. I sent this: Not gonna lie --> you’ve hit me with more “Hey Ian”s & "How's Biz?" than an MLM recruiter w/ amnesia 😂 Figured I’d wait to reply until I had something worth showing. In the last 3 months 56 new customers. $72,408 in revenue. 9 churned. {SCREENSHOT PROOF} All from a similar offer and audience size to yours. Not saying you're leaving money on the table... But if you are, your weak ass DM game is probably why. ✌️☮️ Guess what happens next? 👀 He replied instantly. Then booked a call. 🧨 Why It Worked ✅ Pattern interrupt – Casual. Funny. Not trying to sell. ✅ Leads with proof – No bait. Just data. ✅ Curiosity over pitch – Hints at the gap without bragging. ✅ Reverses the dynamic – He chased me. 💥 Want to Stop Getting Ghosted? Here’s the formula: Open with a jab – playful, honest, bold Drop results – numbers > adjectives Create curiosity – no neediness, just a window Position yourself as the shortcut – without pitching Shut up and let them ask Comment “SLAP” and get the DM Masterclass that’s booked me calls with people way outside my “lane.” No more spam. No more guessing. No more sounding like someone’s virtual assistant. 🧠 You’re either pattern-interrupting…

If you’re still stuck at 1% reply rates, it’s not your fault - it’s the old cold email model. Scrape a list → blast emails → hope someone’s interested. That era is dead. Today, the only way to win is by using signals - real triggers that show someone is already interested in your topic. When you combine signals + trust, reply rates jump instantly. And that’s exactly how this KO Method (Key Opinion Leader Method) is pulling 14% reply rates and 49% opportunity rates. What’s the KO Method? Instead of emailing random leads, we go after people who are: - Already engaging with top influencers in your niche - Actively commenting/liking posts related to your topic - Primed for your offer before you ever show up These influencers already did the hard work of attracting your ideal audience. You simply tap into that attention - ethically - and reach out with context. The Workflow (High-Level) 1. Use Trigify Find top creators in your niche → track who’s liking/commenting → pull engagement daily. 2. Push it to Clay Clay qualifies each engager (country, role, relevance). Only good-fit prospects move forward. 3. Find their email Use ICPS, the most accurate + cost-efficient LinkedIn email scraper. 4. Personalize with AI Pull their exact comment/post → generate personalized context. 5. Send via Instantly Use a “Perceived Value Magnet”: A hyper-valuable offer they actually want - not a pitch. This combination solves the 2 biggest cold email barriers: ✔ Relevance (they’re already interested) ✔ Trust (you found them through a shared KOL) No more “Where did you get my email?” No more guessing. Just warm, signal-based outreach that lands. If you implement this system end-to-end, you’ll break past the 1% reply wall permanently. Comment “TOOLS” to get my entire recommended tools list.
