The thread has jobs in order. First, they answer a question. Second, you both agree the problem is real enough to talk. Third, you pick a time. Skipping to third is why threads die.

When interest shows up ("tell me more," "we are looking at this," "send a link"), reply the same day. Speed matters more here than in the cold step. Give one or two concrete outcomes for the call, a realistic length, and a way to book.

Confirm who should be there. A practitioner may need their manager. Do not insist on the CRO in the first calendar invite. Ask "is there anyone else who should hear this?" after they pick a slot.

Send a calendar invite with a clear title, your name, and a short agenda. LinkedIn messages disappear in people's heads. The invite is the artifact.

If they go quiet after saying yes, one bump with the same link is enough. Then treat it as a maybe-later and put them in a longer nurture, not a daily DM.

## Frequently asked questions

**Should I hop to email to book?**

If they offer an email, yes. Calendar tools and assistants live there. Ask once. Do not demand email as a filter.

**What if they want async instead of a call?**

Respect it. Send a short written walkthrough or a video. A forced demo on a buyer who asked for async is how you lose the deal before it starts.

**How long should the first call be?**

15 to 20 minutes is easier to accept than 45. You can always extend if it is going well.

**Do I need a discovery script in the DM?**

No. Save discovery for the call. The DM only has to make the call feel low-risk.
