The LinkedIn Prospecting Blueprint: How to Go From Cold to Closed | ft. Matt Clark
If your LinkedIn outreach is getting ghosted…it’s not because people “don’t use LinkedIn anymore.”
It’s because your message is just another Hey {FirstName}, I see we have connections in common… snoozefest.
❌ You’re blending in with the noise.❌ You’re chasing instead of attracting.❌ You’re not using systems built for 2025.
Here’s the fix: Book a free strategy call with The Sales Machine, and I’ll show you how to turn cold LinkedIn outreach into warm, consistent conversations that actually close. 👉 www.thesalesmachine.com
In this episode, I sit down with Matt Clark, a LinkedIn sales expert who has built prospecting systems for thousands of entrepreneurs and sales teams.
