The “one-liner” that starts $10k conversations

Your opener is the difference between ignored and booked.

Every high-value client you’ve ever closed started the same way.
With a reply.

No reply, no deal.

Most outreach fails because the opener is too long, too vague, or too self-focused.
Your ideal clients don’t owe you their attention, you have to earn it.

Over the past few years, I’ve tested hundreds of openers on LinkedIn.
I tracked which ones got the first reply, and which ones went nowhere.

The results became the 99-message playbook I’m teaching in The Art of the First Reply.

One of the fastest ways to get a reply?
Ask a question that’s specific and relevant, but not tied to a sales pitch.

The workshop will give you 98 more examples like this, plus the context for when and why to use them.


You’ll also see:
• The “recent activity” reply formula that gets immediate engagement
• The recruiter-style approach that sparks curiosity without looking like spam
• The indirect question method that turns cold prospects into warm conversations in 2 messages or less

When you can turn those replies into 2–3 appointments per day per profile, you stop guessing about revenue.

You have a stable, predictable sales mechanism.

That’s what lets you build a real business.
