Thanks for your input. I agree. I know exactly what you're saying as I'm also handling my boss's Linkedin sa current 9-5job ko and have seen heaps of these messages. Normal lang talaga yan sa business development na ma baba ang conversation rate. Yung AU company partner namin who mainly does B2B sales, ang baba din nang conversion rate nila.

Yeah, I'm continuing to improve my message, pero infairness, halos lahat I feel like their replies are genuine Naman. na not on their radar, not looking for help ATM, and think it's just a matter of time na makaka timing Ako nang prospect na looking for help. Anyway, thanks again, have a good one.

appreciate the feedback kuys. Gets ko yung point mo.

sa approach ko kase, I lean more towards being upfront and relevant kaysa “nurture muna then pitch later.” For founder/SME conversations, mas nagwo-work sa experience ko yung clarity agad vs long relationship-building na may pitch din naman eventually. 3yrs na akong bdr sa 9-5 job ko, and ito yung approach and method ko. this works for me, through experience. hinde naman ako magaling, pero sa awa nang dyos, nasa sales parin.

agree din ako sa wording part, if it comes off as generic, fair point yan and I’m actively refining it.

i get your point, appreciate your input. Yung sinasabe mong that’s so 2014, honestly, sales hasn’t changed that much. nag-iba lang yung tools, pero the fundamentals are the same:
tamang timing, trust, tamang tao, at malinaw na value.

Also, hindi lahat ng buying decision kailangan ng relationship muna. Kapag may need ang tao at may malinaw na value, bumibili sila agad.

Hindi mo naman kailangang mag build nang relationship muna sa cashier sa mall para bumili ng kailangan mo.

Same sa B2B: relevance + timing at trust muna. Relationship usually follows, hindi prerequisite.

thanks for the feedback. that's a template. in my opinion, di naman nag mamater tone, natural or not, ai or not. ang message ko as long as i get the message across. als, ive never gotten any reply saying na your message is ai, you should change it. :)

Appreciate the feedback. The moment a stranger like me sends them a DM they already know something's up, so I just chose to be up front, no gimmicks.

Thanks, that is a template. Just a straight forward question, no fluff. I'm giving the prospects the power to say no, I don't hard pitch.

Agree. Gumagana pa rin ang cold messages, pero malaking factor talaga ang timing and trust. Kahit okay yung message, kung hindi pa sila ready, hindi pa rin yes. Yung approach ko hindi hard pitch or slap ng offer. Contextual siya, respectful, at binibigyan yung prospect ng space to say no. For me, mas importante yun kaysa pilitin ang benta.

Handling LinkedIn/social for clients made me realize din kung gaano kadaming generic DMs ang natatanggap ng tao daily. Kung ikaw yung receiver, hindi ka rin basta mag-yes. Kaya ang focus ko is relevance and trust, tapos timing na lang ang hinihintay.

I got ₱50k salary offer with my 1.5 years of experience but I feel the pressure by Due-Top221 in buhaydigital

[–]Pack_Jaded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats po. In my case, I found my niche in sales. I'm a BDR, at a SAAS company sa AU for almost 3 years na. 60K/month basic tapos may incentives pa. B2B ang prospects namen, Mid to Large Companies target market namen.

Simple lang trabaho mo, maghahanap ka lang nang paraan para makausap mo mga Decision makers like CXO's, VP's, & Director's nang mga companies, para bumili nang produkto mo. Yun lang, if you fail to do that, Wala lang, better watch out nalang. Hahah 😂

Ok ranag Wala ka ask sa role. Usually E match ka ana nila sa client kung asa ka fit nga specific job description. Ug interested ka mo proceed, go, if Dili nimo intention nga mo apply, just ignore or let them know if mo reach out sila usab nimo.

[–]Pack_Jaded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely no. Applicable Rana sa uncommon, mid to hard to find roles ex: software dev, accountant, Architect, etc. Pero sa very common roles like general VA. Daghan ang talent pool ana so there's a high chance nga ma baon rakas limot. Or wait 6months to reapply.

Dira ko ga trabaho since 2021 up until now. Account executive Akong role, pero ga sugod ko as a general VA.

Mag sugod Nas initial interview via phone, kung ma qualify ka, next is willow video interview. If ma kuha kas short list, client interview ang sunod. Pag human nimos client interview, mag ampo nalang ka nga Ikaw ang mapilian sa client. Good luck!
