Everyone says you need better messaging to get more connections. But your message doesn't matter if they don't know who you are. Many SDRs treat social warming as a checkbox. They automate 3 likes in 10 seconds and think it builds trust. It doesn't. Real social warming takes patience, but it works. 32% of cold connection requests get accepted. Add one interaction before reaching out? 40%. Same message and targeting with 25% more connections. Here's the 5-step system that actually works: Step 1: Find active prospects Target people posting about problems you solve. Skip dormant profiles. They won't see your warming. Step 2: Like ONE recent post From the last 7 days only. Older posts scream "I'm prospecting you." Step 3: View their profile They get a notification. Your name registers. Don't skip this. It matters. Step 4: Follow if they post weekly Only if they're active creators. Otherwise, skip to step 5. Step 5: Send connection request on Day 3 Short note. Reference their content. "Saw your post on [topic]. Resonated because [reason]." What kills social warming: → Generic "Great post!" comments → Liking 10 posts in 30 seconds → Pitching immediately after connecting → Warming people who don't fit your ICP → Having a trash profile when they check you out They WILL look at your profile after you engage. Make sure it's ready before you start. When your connection request arrives, you're already familiar. Not a stranger asking for something. But someone they've seen around. That tiny shift from unknown to familiar changes everything. But most teams skip it because it takes 3 days instead of 3 seconds. We built a complete warming sequence you can duplicate in LGM. Automated patience. No manual clicking. Comment "LGM" and I'll send you the full system. Save for later. ♻️ Repost for others.
