HOW TO DM SET USING CTAs
After training and leading a team of 23 setters that produced over 17 Million in Revenue from
organic Social Media strategies, I decided to share a piece of my setting methodology. Anyone
can follow this guide to book calls in DMs from Call To Actions (CTAs), meaning when you get
inbound messages. This is NOT for you if you’re trying to cold outreach people.
-The goal is to have a setting conversation that doesn’t feel like it has a hidden agenda.
A simple way to accomplish this is by acknowledging what the person said when they respond
to
you (resonating with them like you would in a regular conversation) and then going for the next
question. Bonus points if you can use their words in your questions – they will feel heard.
-Take a moment to review the profile of a person you’re messaging (yes sometimes they are
deceiving, I set a multiple 7 figure biz owner in DMs – he had cookie monster as his profile pic).
But a lot of the time you can tell if a person is a fit or not by looking at their profile.
This way you only message your ideal avatar and avoid wasting time on those who aren’t.
-Connect on common ground. Lead with value. Ask straightforward questions and get to the
point without sounding salesy… below is an example of my setting process that got me to
make consistent $5k/mo+ as a setter.
Hey X, appreciate you reaching out! Love that you’re an action taker
Mind if I ask a few questions first to see how I can help you get help with XYZ?
Setters tend to start asking questions out of the blue and that’s where they get messages
like “why do you want to know?” or “why do you ask?” or “is this even BIZ OWNER?”. To
avoid that, we ask for permission. This also allows us to qualify people faster and book
them on a call sooner.
2 - Situation
Examples of humanizing:
No way! We have TONNES of students from X country / Doing X job. How’s that been
going for you? Are you enjoying it so far?
3 - Problem or Goal
Depending on the answer from the above question, you can ask for a problem (if
people are already in pain and are problem aware) or ask for their goal (if it seems like
they are doing good or you’re still not sure about why they reached out to you).
We must get the prospect to tell us exactly why they are reaching out to us. If they are
not clear themselves, there is no point asking for the set (in this case we need to help
them identify a problem first, but that’s beyond this training). But if they are clear,
those are the people we want to book!
Example - Problem:
So let’s pretend my team and I were to help you in this business, how much
revenue do you realistically want to earn per month in XYZ INDUSTRY? so I know
where exactly you want to take this and if we can help...
Example - Goal
What is happening in your life right now tho that has you looking to do XYZ? (add a
stream of income / learn a skill / lose weight etc) so I understand how things are on
your end and to see if we can help
$x/mo is already the average goal my students are hitting so you can definitely
make that happen
I’m curious then, what specifically would you need from me and my team to help
you achieve $X GOAL with XYZ SKILLS?
So sounds like you’d need (A to Z / ABC) so that you can X GOAL? Let me know if
I’m wrong here
We’ve noticed that our most successful students have set aside some budget to
invest in themselves and their skills to be profitable with XYZ. So we recommend
that you have anywhere from $$$ - $$$$$ budget
Do you have access to that or would you be willing to get resourceful so that you
can X GOAL? (be REAL with me here..)
Ask for the set in the most non-salesy way, and connect the dots as to why there is a
need for the call and what people are going to get out of it. This way the prospect is
clear on what the call is about and will have a clear intent.
Got it, so based on what you told me so far I believe my team and I can
potentially help you get to X GOAL but I want to make sure that we’re a good fit
I’d like to explain further details but I can only cover so much here in my dms...
Cool! I would love to connect you with one of my team on a brief call. Just to see
if what we do could possibly guide you so that you can get to where you wanna
be in this business
Awesome! Just so I can check the availability of the team for you. Let me know
me these information
1. Timezone
2. Email Address
3. Phone (please include country or area code)
4. When are you free for a call
And I’ll have my assistant send you the details and email confirmation after.
