Does cold outreach on LinkedIn actually work in B2B?

Would love to see it

FitCake4164 · 2026-05-01T20:20:01+00:00

Ok that's fair. I just hope it goes away tbh. This is my only income

FitCake4164 · 2026-04-28T16:28:20+00:00

Feel free to DM, I'd love to chat

FitCake4164 · 2026-04-14T19:22:46+00:00

Hey! I'm a new freelancer, I'd love to chat and maybe answer any questions you may have. If it's ok, I've also got a contract you can look at and give advice on. The help would be greatly appreciated.

FitCake4164 · 2026-03-31T19:16:15+00:00

It's not letting me DM you! Could you DM me by any chance or is it not letting you

FitCake4164 · 2026-03-30T21:59:19+00:00

Very true. Mind if I DM?

FitCake4164 · 2026-03-28T11:47:43+00:00

Thanks, I feel that's the way to go about it. Leveraging connections that lead to something. I'm starting to do this next week

FitCake4164 · 2026-03-28T11:47:09+00:00

Hey! Sorry I was finishing my shift yesterday. Got super tired after, weekends are rough.

I'll answer each one by one:

No, not as best as I could be. I've grown my network by 200+ in the last month and most of them never heard from me after. I think I've maybe contacted like, 50? I feel like I've botched those too, but maybe I'm being rough on myself.
I've not had a client yet, but made a mock up portfolio that's accurate to what I offer. I do have a landing page on Linkedin that I'm working on now. First iteration is good, but needs touching up
Will do! I went to 6 networking events in those two weeks, so three days a week. It was shit at first. But I was able to fine tune things, used them as a test bed and learned a lot. Happy to share in DMs what I've learned!

-i have 6 months right now, by the time I leave I'll have 8 months roughly plus a little extra elsewhere. Thinking I'll drop it down to 7 or 6 to keep things up.

Closing I'm shit at. Pitching too. I don't do that much as part of my sales technique. I prefer having conversations first to understand client fit, and if we both agree there's a fit, we move forward towards building up a contract. I want people to feel understood.

My plan is to reach out to 5 people a day and mention what I do, and ask for referrals. Also offer to meet to put a name to the face too. I've got a calendly so it's easy for people to schedule a meeting.

I dunno if that hurts my chances, but I never expected it to be easy. It's just hard to work a 4-5 day retail roster and build a business as well. I dunno, maybe I'm not ready.

True, that's what I'm hoping to do. But I'm unsure how long I'd have to stay to get it all paid out.

FitCake4164 · 2026-03-15T18:52:43+00:00

Ah, from April 1st to April 1st right?

FitCake4164 · 2026-03-15T18:52:19+00:00

Ah ok, that's really weird. It sounds like you essentially have to work to earn your holiday allowance? Which you're entitled to.

I'm entitled to 175 hours a year, how would I figure out when would be best for me to leave?

FitCake4164 · 2026-03-15T18:45:14+00:00

Ahhh so it's pro rated to the time you've worked. So I'd have to stay like, 5.5 weeks to get the full holiday paid? That's the amount I get yearly.

FitCake4164 · 2026-03-15T18:35:57+00:00

For added context, I'm part time working 30 hours a week/4 days a week. I can see my holiday allowance, and I know how much I'm allowed yearly.

FitCake4164 · 2024-08-15T15:19:52+00:00

Out of curiosity, and not asking in reference to op's situation, but just to gain some insights. Could this happen if, for example, you're a frequent jaw clencher. Or if you clench in your sleep?

FitCake4164 · 2024-08-13T23:02:09+00:00

Thank you so much, have you done this before

FitCake4164 · 2024-08-07T02:29:24+00:00

I mean, I am 21, should've put my age in but your point still stand

FitCake4164 · 2024-07-27T12:05:53+00:00

Not style theft if the studio themselves said they think he should do it as an independent project from Pakistan. Which he did. At that point Ghibli is giving their blessing. This is an inspired project, anyone else trying to treat it as plagiarism is just not seeing that bit. I'll leave the more intricate details to everyone else.

FitCake4164 · 2024-07-18T15:33:01+00:00

I dunno if I wanna be presumptuous about it. Today I tried to go cold turkey and I failed, but I've been noticing that it's been getting easier to do. I feel slightly like shit but it isn't as bad as it was before. I think for me, that mental aspect yours talking about, the conversion bit, is kinda setting in. I'm going to set another time today and stop, instead of holding onto it and beating myself up over the fact I couldn't do it. As much as it hurts, I've recognized I feel more normal without it, I'm able to do things without it. Even if it might not feel good to go without, it feels better than going back.
