The DM That Kills Trust (and What to Say Instead) Preview Text: 80% of trust is built—or broken—on your first message. Here's how to spark curiosity, not suspicion. Let’s be honest—most first DMs sound like: 👉 “Thanks for connecting! I help XYZ…” 👉 “When’s a good time to chat?” And just like that, trust dies. Your prospect’s brain scans for a friend or foe: - Sound like a pitch? 🧱 Walls go up - Sound like a stranger? Skepticism kicks in - Sound like a human? Curiosity opens the door Real shift: Old DM: “Thanks for connecting—I help founders scale…” → No replies New DM: “Saw your post on burnout—curious, how do you balance it while scaling?” → Convos doubled Trust physics: ✅ Relevance > Resume ✅ Questions spark curiosity ✅ Human tone > Polished pitch Your challenge: Comment on a new connection’s post. Then DM them one curiosity-driven line. No pitch. Just human to human.
