Story: How to spend time in December

It’s the last month of 2021 after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. BGM has changed in the office and city. I feel that the pace of people is slow. I don’t change anything.

I bought some courses on Udemy Cyber Monday sale. The highlight is LinkedIn. I would like to use LinkedIn efficiently in 2022. I am going to complete the courses as much as possible. I have a motive, but I have to keep it up through December.

Updated: Dec 1, 2021

I have started to watch the Udemy video. I have to take an action as well as consume the information.

3. Optimizing Your LinkedIn Profile
– Optimize for helping someone’s achievement
– Job title or how you solve
– Don’t talk yourself a lot
– CTA
– Ask what you are looking for

4. Creating an Ideal Customer Profile
– Create your client’s persona
– Industry > company > person > position
– LinkedIn search filter
– Search Title, “xxxxx” OR “xxxxx” OR “xxxxx”
– Connection request less than 100 per day (80 for safe)
– People also viewed column

5. Building Your LinkedIn Lead Generation Machine
– Create your client’s persona
– Generate leads
– Connection request > message sent > message seen > response > appointment
– Imagin how they see your message

6. How To Send LinkedIn Connect Request
– Mutual friend, same LinkedIn group, same industry, LinkedIn suggestion, geographically close

Template 1
Hi [first name],
I noticed you’re in the [industry] business in the [location] and I’m impressed with your work. Thought it might make sense to connect here.
Best, [name]

Template 2

Best, [name]

Template 3
Hi [first name],
I noticed we’re in a similar industry and I’m impressed with your work. Open to connecting here?
Best, [name]

7. The Pain Formula
– LinkedIn messenger

Template 1
Hi [first name],
– Great connecting with you here.

– Problem
– Solution
– CTA
– Who do you recommend I talk to?
Best, [name]

8.  Appropriate Person
– Value and sympathy rather than sales
– Make it personal

Template 1
Hi [first name],
I’m writing in hopes of finding the appropriate person who handles [department]. So, If makes sense to talk, let me know how your calendar looks.
[Pain + Solution]

9. 2nd Degree Connections Introduction
– Ask for the info to 1st-degree connection
– 1st-degree connection should feel good

10. 2nd Degree Connections Name Dropping
Good to know the usage. I am not sure I can use this tips.

11. How to Message Anyone for Free Using
This is useful for job seekers. For example, web/graphic designers join the GDC(Graphic Designers of Canada) group and contact to founder.

12. News Feed
All related sales on the video, but at least becoming an active user is better.

13. Event-Based Message

14. Outbound Message Schedule
Weekday 6 am to 7 am

15. How to Follow Up
Indifferent (don’t take it personally) is important when you do sales.

16. LinkedIn Value Template
I think this is not a quantity game. It’s a quality game. As a web/graphic designer, I do website check for design, SEO and social media. Then, send a comment with a screenshot. I think it works.

17. Converting Messages Into Meetings
LinkedIn marketing sounds better than a cold call, but please keep a basic business manner.

Action process

Searching target audience

Open Bookmarks Co. Blog LinkedIn

I optimized my account. I am generally making a persona. I tested how I can search for people. The search box does not recommend me anything. I need to search based on a person that I want to connect with.

Action after connecting with people

Updated: Dec 3, 2021

I don’t think I can sales pitch. Who wants to hear it? If I were in their shoes, I feel it’s annoying. So, I made an action plan, website/brand check.

Template 1
Hi [name],
I checked [your website/brand] and it can be potentially better.
This is what I thought.
1. Design
2. Social media
3. SEO
*Pick one topic for saving your time.
Please contact the designer who created it with you.
Best Regards,
