How to set meeting with LinkedIn - 198 LinkedIn Live - Joe Apfelbaum

teach you how to set meetings with LinkedIn. Are you ready for this one? I'm ready for it. And I'm actually really excited about this. And the reason I'm excited is because LinkedIn is the world's largest professional social network. There are a billion people on LinkedIn, and I want to show you the step-by-step process that you need to take in order to go from a person who is not properly using LinkedIn to a person who is properly using this amazing tool to be able to start leveraging it correctly. You see, LinkedIn could be a little cumbersome to use, especially if someone hasn't really been using it regularly for the past several years. And you are not really sure exactly what to do. You think maybe it's just like a place where you put your profile and people are checking up on their coworkers and they don't really understand this concept of networking and building relationships and getting to know people. And so I want to show you how to be able to get clients by setting up meetings, because every single time that you have a conversation with somebody, it's an opportunity to be able to, to grow your business essentially. So let's, let me, let me just turn on my camera.

Oop.

I have my little thing on there. Okay. So I put on my camera, put on my, there we go. I'm going to sit up, sit back, just relax and you just watch and enjoy the show. Here we go. Should we put on some music? Let's let's put on some music too while we're at it. Let's go to Suno and let's make a song. Let's call the song. Let's create a song right now. Let me pull this a little tighter here so you can see this better. Okay, there you go. Let's create a song, a rap song about how to set meetings on LinkedIn via the direct messaging system. Called Greeting, Feeding, and Meeting with Evvy AI, the AI for LinkedIn. Okay, let's go ahead and hit create. And that's going to create right now. And then we're going to go ahead and listen to some music while we're cribbing here. And if you're watching me here, whether it's the live or the replay, say I'm watching you. Say I'm— I see you. Say I hear you, because I don't even know if anybody can hear me.

Hi.

So I'll pop open the comments over here, the chat. I'm not going to overlay it, but I'll pop open the chat over here just to kind of see. Let me see if the— oh, greeting, feeding, and meeting. Let's see what that sounds like. What? Yeah.

Greeting.

Post quick, inject some whip, open up with charm. Now that's lit.

Greeting, feeding, and leading. Dimitri from Guatemala. Okay, let me lower this a little bit.

Boom, we're achieving. Break the ice twice precise.

Okay, Dimitri Ortiz is on with me. Let me just go to here and acknowledge him real quick. This is how you see who's live with you. I'm gonna give this a little heart. Welcome to the lock. All right, let's check out his profile real quick. So let's just say I wanted to set a meeting with Dimitri. What would I do? Well, I would check out his website first. I would click on the contact info, and I can easily fill out the information over here to request a consultation. I can email him. His email address is right over here. Look at that. I can add him to my CRM. Do you not use a CRM? Let's see if he's in my CRM, right? Um, let's see, I am waiting. November 22nd was your birthday?

Twice precise.

I see he posted a day ago. I'm gonna leave a comment on his post.

Typhoon in the inbox. Commence suspense.

Just like this. If you want to book a meeting with somebody, you got to build a relationship with them first. I'm gonna go ahead and send him a. So I left him a comment on his on his post right there. Joe from Brazil. Brasil, los brasileros llegaron. The Brasileiros! My father is from Brazil, by the way, Joel. Welcome all the way from Brazil. Thank you for telling me that you like the beat. It's made custom for this, for this live here. I'm gonna send him a message. I'm gonna use Evie AI. I'm gonna wish him happy holidays. Look at that. Boom, boom. I'm gonna use a template. By the way, Dimitri, you can borrow that template. Joel, I'm gonna check out your profile real quick here.

What?

Guys like this? If you haven't liked it, go ahead and like it. Hi from Brazil. I'm gonna check it out. Okay, let's pull it up. Pull it up. Pull it up. Financial commercial support person. Posted two weeks ago. Let's reply in Portuguese. Português. In Português. You see, I changed the language to Portuguese.

Boom.

You see, I just replied in Portuguese because Evie AI, this AI for LinkedIn that I'm using. Habla portugués y español and Hebrew and many, many, many other languages. So you can literally communicate in any language that you want. You see, I just basically created a song. Talk about how Evie AI, the AI for LinkedIn, can write in any language like Spanish, Portuguese, Portuguese, Hebrew, French, Italian, English.

Whatever.

I'm going to go ahead and hit create and let's see what it does. Okay, so I added Dimitri to my CRM. So if I want to book a meeting with Dimitri, I can easily email him, I could DM him, I can comment with him, I can check if he has, um, he has a situation on his, on his website for me to be able to book a meeting with him. And you know what's crazy is that most people don't take the time to actually review a person's profile enough to identify if they even have their website on here. By the way, Joel, you don't have your website on here. Maybe you don't care about your website. Maybe you don't want your website on here, but it seems to me that you don't really have your website on your profile yet, but I would recommend adding your website to your profile. So, you know, the key is figuring out who's your target market. Who do you really want to have a meeting with? Who do you want to book a meeting with? Who do you want to talk to? I'm going to change this from Portuguese back to English. I'm going to hit regenerate. And let's see what it does. So true, Justin. I'm going to leave a comment right here just like this. And so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to send out messages to people that I want to book a meeting with. So who are the people that I want to book a meeting with? Well, I'm going to first look through the people that have liked on my post in the past. Let's see, in the past 2 hours I posted this and 22 people liked, 300 people saw it. About 10% of them, you know, either liked or commented on it. So I'm going to go ahead and look through this and identify opportunities for myself based on the people that have been checking out my profile, have been checking out my posts. So I'm going to go ahead and open up Jack's profile, Philip's profile. I'm not going to open up too many profiles, but I want to see who these people are to identify opportunities. with these people to build a relationship with them, get to know them, and possibly do business with these people. So let's see. So Jack Dyer, he's a UX story strategic, 15 years empowering CEOs, authentic story experiences, and grow your net worth just like that. And so what I'm going to do over here is I am going to like and comment on his posts because he went ahead and Liked my post. So I'm going to go ahead and like his post back just like that. Then I'm going to go ahead and click generate and I'm going to generate just like this. And by the way, Joe, we're having a special right now on AI. We have an AI for LinkedIn. Let's see what Miriam says. Miriam, can I ask you something about LinkedIn? Go ahead. And I'm going to use AI to type it up. I'm very, very happy to answer any questions that you have about LinkedIn or artificial intelligence. Go ahead and ask me the question. I'm going to press insert and let's just see what she says. Miriam, we have a Black Friday deal going on with EvAI Pro.

Okay.

So I told her about the EvAI Pro, $20K worth of upgrades, including marketing automation platform, monthly live LinkedIn training sessions, a course you can watch on demand, monthly brainstorming session with Ava, 1,000 enriched leads done for you. So many great things. Okay. So she said, can I ask you a question about LinkedIn? I said, of course you can ask me a question about LinkedIn. Um, let's see, Catherine. Catherine keeps liking my post, which I love, but I don't, I don't know if she's actually liking my post. I don't know if it's her actually. Look at this, she posted 2 days ago over here and she has 3,000 likes. This is her. I, I don't understand what's going on over here. 3,000 likes on this? Why'd she get 3,000 likes on this? She doesn't even have that. I don't know, something doesn't make sense about getting 3,000 likes. I mean, like, uh, Bill Gates doesn't get 3,000 likes. But let's just check it out. Let's look at her profile. She has 17,000 followers. She has thousands of likes on her stuff. She's constantly liking my stuff, this profile. So I'm going to go ahead and save the profile into Evie AI into my list, and I'm going to call it the influencer list. Okay, so I'm going to go here and I'll put her in the influencer category because she gets a lot of likes and comments. We're gonna have to analyze her, her posts, see how often she posts. A week ago, 6 days ago, and 2 days ago, just like that. Seems like she's a patent examiner, a chief Of personal intellectual property. I, I messaged her. I'm just getting around to reading all my messages. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. And I'm gonna wish her happy holidays. I'm gonna use the Evii template that I have right over here. Um, let's see this one right here. Happy holidays. I just wanna wish you happy holidays. Are you doing anything special? Okay, let's just see if she replies to that one. Stephen Falk, he's a business executive for the Entrepreneurial Vision. He just sent me a connection request like a second ago. I'm going to just take a look to see if we have any mutual connections, and it looks like we have several. Then I'm going to scroll down, see when he posted. I see he reposted 4 hours ago. Chances are he's online right now. It looks like he got a recommendation last time, 2009. He's paying for LinkedIn, so he might be an ideal client. So now I'm going to go here and I'm going to send him a message. Thank you for reaching out to me and asking to connect with me. I accepted our connection request and I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Do you want to share with me what your goals are with LinkedIn? Okay, so I'm going to press insert and I'm going to go here and just hit send. Okay, so I actually spoke it out. What's the special on the AI that you have here? Dimitri asked. Okay, the special is, is if you go to eviai.com/holidaydeal, eviai.com/holidaydeal, today and tomorrow, we have this deal where you pay $984 for the year and you get $20,000 worth of bonuses. So it includes a monthly advanced LinkedIn strategy workshop, an Accelerator Trader program, which is worth $3,000. It has 52 different LinkedIn hacks in it. An evergreen networking course worth $10,000. The Sales Navigator Bootcamp worth $3,000. It's a 6-hour on-demand program on how to leverage Sales Navigator. A goal-setting masterclass worth $1,000. We also give you a year of our CRM, which is selling for $249 a month, $3,000 a year. We give you the Inc. 5000 list worth $5,000. We give you a monthly strategy session with Ava. You get to join us for 2 hours every month doing strategy in our sessions. The next one's January 8th. And so we have a bunch of people that took this deal. We're almost sold out on the deal anyway. So if you're interested, just write interested in the chat. I can automatically upgrade you from premium to pro if you already have premium, but we only have 2 days left on this deal. And then this deal is going away. So you get training, data, and support on top of getting unlimited access to Evvii AI and the Connections dashboard. So we're going to give you lots of new features in addition to what we already are giving away. So the question a lot of people ask is, how do you set meetings with LinkedIn? And we're going to be teaching this throughout the year. We're doing it 2 hours every month. And one of the ways to do that, to set a meeting, is for you to identify who's been engaging with your content and build a relationship with those people. So I see Jack, Tara, Ace, Larry Fish, Philip Cruz, Jeff Lewis. So what I do is I literally just go through these people and I pull up their profiles and identify who they are. So you can see this guy over here has 32,000 followers.

Wow.

He's paying for LinkedIn and I see that he's pretty active on LinkedIn. He posted a week ago, he's getting a lot of influence. I'm going to go ahead and save profile. Now I'm going to go here and I'm going to message him and I'm going to be like, I noticed that you liked my post and I really appreciate it. I'd love to learn more about what you're up to. Okay, I'm gonna press send and now I send him this little message in the DM. Hopefully he'll see that and wanna reply to me and we'll build a little bit of a relationship. Jeff, 25,000 followers, 1,000 likes on this post from a week ago. I don't know, something's going on over here. Your sales engine's marketing your fuel. Without marketing, you lack brand trust. Marketing share, market share consistency. Interesting. I'm going to go ahead and give this a like. I'm going to go ahead and leave a comment on this. Great insights, Jeff. It's so true.

Okay.

I want to go to the next thing. Let's see what Steven says. Steven says, I'm sure I'm a new founder. Oh, look at this. Sure, I'm a new founder. Company is Data for Living. Beginning to establish a presence on LinkedIn for myself and my company. What is your goal with your— for LinkedIn? How do you know that you are being successful?

Successful.

Okay, let's just see. Let's, let's, and let's review this person's profile a little bit of a deeper level. Okay, so this guy literally just sent me a connection request just now. This is the dude. He's a new founder of a company. He wants to establish his presence on LinkedIn. I'm going to try and book a meeting with him. I'm going to first go ahead and comment on his post. I'll be the only one besides Tara that commented on his post. Surround yourselves with positive influences is a crucial mindset. Thanks for highlighting this, Steve. And I'll tag him so he notices me here. Okay, so I actually tagged him in that post there, and now what we're doing is we're actually having a conversation. You saw that he's there. By the way, if you want to hop on a call Happy to share my thoughts with you and my experience. All right, let's just see what he says. I'm going to pull up his profile here. I'm going to go to his contact info and see if his cell phone number is in there. I don't see his cell phone number there, but I do see his email address. So I am going to save him into my CRM over here. So I'm going to go to my CRM. I'm going to click New Contact. I'm going to type in Steve Falk, and then I'm going to put his email over here and hit Save. Now I'm going to ask him for his cell phone number. I'm going to go here, oop, I'm going to go back to my messages because he's messaging me right now. You free tomorrow? I'm going to say yes. What is your cell? I'm at 917-865-7633.

Okay.

So, um, I'll give him a call tomorrow. So I'm, I'm, I'm, you see me in action, by the way, write action in the chat if you're watching me in action. In action, I'm literally booking a meeting right now on LinkedIn with someone who can be a customer. Now, this customer is not gonna be a massive customer for my business. It might not even be a customer at all. I'm just gonna advise him. I'm just gonna speak to him, have a normal conversation.

I'm gonna be normal.

You know, I'm not gonna sit there and be like, oh my God, you gotta sign up to my service. I don't know if he could sign up to my service. services. I have no idea. But what I know is I'm going to have a discussion, a conversation with him. I'm going to build a relationship, get to know what his goals are, figure out what he wants to achieve, build a relationship with him, get to know him personally, figure out what he's up to. And I'm going to call him tomorrow at 10:00 AM. We're going to have a conversation. Now, I don't have anything planned for tomorrow. Tomorrow's a Sunday. And now it's the middle of the night at 9:57 PM. I'm sitting here booking a meeting on LinkedIn. Because I used Evvy AI to help me be able to do this. Now I'm gonna go back into the CRM, I'm gonna save this, and then I'm gonna add him to my pipeline and add him to my calendar. I, if you guys are not doing this type of stuff, if you're not booking meetings like the way that I'm booking meetings, literally the way that I'm doing it, just insane. So I'm gonna go in here, I'm gonna put him on the Evvy AI Pro. I'm gonna say Joe to call. I'm gonna leave him on Joe to call. I'm gonna say he's $984. That's the opportunity I believe that he'll probably qualify for, but I don't know. Could be he'll qualify for $5,597 or something else, who knows? But I'm gonna talk to him and see what he actually needs. He might not even need any of this, but I'm assuming this is what he needs. And so I'm gonna give him a buzz tomorrow and we're gonna have a conversation and we're gonna have a good time. Let's see if Suno came up with the song, Polygod Dreams.

Here we go.

Yo, are you with me? Can you hear what I'm saying? I'm here booking meetings. Check this out. I'm gonna, I'm gonna click this button here and this thing's gonna fly down. It's gonna fly down. Oh, look at Yosef. Yosef's just cracking along. Oh, Ira's a lot of words.

Baby.

The missing link.

Missing link.

Yeah.

I'm gonna wish him a happy Hanukkah right now.

I haven't wished him a happy Hanukkah. I'm gonna go ahead and wish him a happy Hanukkah. See, I just wished him a happy Hanukkah and I used Evie AI's templates. By the way, if you want to see a whole list of templates that I use to book meetings, just write templates in the chat and I'll go ahead and show you all my different templates that I use. And I'll show you where inside Evie AI to store your templates. Let's see what Miriam said. Miriam says, oh, she hasn't responded. Brand logo. Too many people confuse the two, brand and logo. I'm gonna ask Darren a question now.

All right, the guy speaks in tongues tonight. Spanish flair and Hebrew light. Portuguese danced on the breeze. Every word made to please. French romance flows like wine. Italian love in every line. German strong like iron gates. Language sweet that never waits. Polyglot dreams, they never sleep. Through the vast oceans they sweep, words and rhythms.

I'm gonna make an instrumental song now because I wanna—I don't wanna listen to words right now. Let's see what Mario is doing. Wow, look at this! Somehow my post got intertwined for all these people.

Through the vast oceans they sweep.

Somehow my— all these people suddenly just like, like that post. I don't know why. A bunch of randos. I don't even know who these people are, but I'm gonna check them out, build a relationship with them, and check out their content as well. All right, let's check out this new— this instrumental song. Yo, I'm working LinkedIn. One day at a time, kind of like just fine wine. I want to click on my network. I'm going to click on connections. I'm going to show you these amazing directions. What? Yeah, I'm going to look up my darrens. These be my darrens, and I'm going to wish them a happy holidays. I want to use Evie AI. To wish them a happy holiday. Holiday greeting. I'm gonna hit generate. Hope your presentation went well. It's always exciting to work on our— wishing you a productive holiday season. Just like that, Heavy AI just wished Darren a happy holiday with a click of a button. Uh, uh, uh. Heavy AI with the click of a button. All of a sudden. Leads flowing, business growing. Ah, Darren, let's break it down together. I want to wish you a happy holidays. Let's clock it, 5 minutes. Let's break down a 5-minute clock. Let's go for 5 minutes. You guys ready? Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go. I got 1. I got 2. I got 3.

This is number 3.

Number 4. Just like that. Who's keeping score?

Number 5.

Helps me stay alive.

Number 6.

Let me show you how this sticks. Number 7. It's like 7-Eleven, Slurpees flowing like wine. I never whine because all these Darins, they be getting my love. Let's see, August 24th, I sent him a message. He told me it was automation, and I said, dude, I'm not automating anything. What's wrong with you, dude? Why do you think everything is automation? I'm sitting here doing it live. I'm showing you exactly how I'm doing it, one step at a time, one person at a time. I'm not worried about too much work because I actually enjoy the work. I enjoy going through this and looking at every single person, touching each connection, opening up each message, seeing the last time I messaged these people. And systematically going through it one person at a time. Imagine you have 1,000 people and you go through your 1,000 connections and every single person gets a message. It might be a holiday greeting, might be something you do for New Year's, it might be you want to just let them know about what you're up to or learn about what they're up to. But the key is to consistently take action every single day. And as you can see, didn't even spend 2 minutes and I'm already up to message number 20. And this is, this is something that I practice on a daily basis to continuously send messages to people that I'm connected to. And it's a customized message where I have their first name in there. And I'm doing it nice and slow and easy and it's relaxed and I'm able to look at each message before I send. And there you go, 23 messages in 2 minutes and 20 seconds, just like that. Clocked. You saw me do this. Don't tell me you didn't see it. It doesn't take that long to send messages. If you do it smartly, you can really connect with people and build real relationships. I say to send 10 messages. Can you send 10 messages in 90 seconds? I think you can. If you learn to do it correctly using the methods that I teach, you're gonna be able to get much more out of your experience of LinkedIn. I have so many great tools that I teach people how to use, and if you start learning how to use these tools, like for example Evy AI, and save profiles properly and put them into lists, then what you can do is identify the people that are actually active in a particular list, and then you can pull up their recent activity. And when you pull up their recent activity on LinkedIn, you can and see if they recently posted. And if they posted on LinkedIn, you go ahead and leave a comment on their post. And if they didn't post on LinkedIn, you just move on to the next one. And this way, you're able to just quickly identify, are these people people that you want to stay top of mind with, or do you not want to stay top of mind with these people? Let me click on the next song here. Boris, you see? He hasn't posted. Don Gelastino. Let's see if Don posted. I already liked everything he posted recently. Alexis, Derek, John Rafferty. Let's see, Alexis, Derek. John Rafferty. I'm gonna go to the next page here. We have Tina Larson, Cass Cadler-Smith, Anthony, Jesse Verlin, George. I'm gonna go through these people's profiles. It looks like I got Tina already. See if I missed any posts recently. No. Look at that, that's me. I got Cass. I got Anthony. I'm going to go ahead and cover Jesse because I see he posted a day ago and I didn't get that, but that's his company page anyway, so that's fine. Boom, just like that. And then I'm going to see George. I already liked and commented on all of George's stuff. Now the last one is Matt Schwartzberg. I'm going to check him out, see if he posted recently. He has not posted. And boom, done. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to go through, I'm going to clear, I'm going to clear this. Let's see, I'm going to say the IEA conference. These are the people from the IEA conference. See if they posted recently. Nothing. Look at that, nothing. I'm gonna go ahead and leave a comment for Deborah. If you guys are liking this, say, I'm liking this, I'm getting it. I'm curious to know if you guys are getting it or you're not getting it, if you're liking it, if you're not liking it. I'm getting it. David says interesting technology from 2 years ago. Wow. David hasn't posted in 2— these people, they're— people are just not taking advantage of LinkedIn. It's just insane to see how many people exist that are literally not leveraging this tech. And if you start leveraging it, you're going to get so much more of a competitive advantage than all these people that are just not using it. And they're not using it correctly. They're not using it at all. They're missing out on a massive opportunity to be able to connect with people and build relationships and stay top of mind. This is, this is really essential. This is essential to growing your business. If you want to grow your business, you gotta book more meetings. My goal is to have 5 conversations every single day. That's what my goal is. So once I have 5 conversations, I'm done. Now I can call people on the fly. I could literally pick up the phone and call people. I don't have to wait for people to book meetings with me. I can't call them at 10:10 PM, but if they want to chat right now, if they're like, hey, do you want to chat now? I can chat with them right now. Like if the guy said, I want to talk to you now, I'd be more than happy to talk to him right now. You know what I mean? But he wasn't interested in chatting right now. He was interested in chatting tomorrow morning, and plus I'm a little tired. I should go to sleep soon. So what a lovely message! I just I just sent him a little little message. Oh, let's look at Noah Tishby's posts. I saved her the other day and I didn't get a chance to really look at her posts. I see she posted an hour ago and then also 11 hours ago. What a great conversation, Noah. I'm gonna tag her and I'm gonna be the only one to comment. She has 82,000 followers and I'm basically the only comment. Isn't that crazy? I'm gonna look at Eugene's posts here. Let's see, Eugene posted 5 days ago. He didn't get any comments. Eugene's a client of mine. He just signed up as a client, so I'm gonna show him my support. Okay, let's see what we got here. Let's see who else we recently saved. I'm gonna open up these profiles here as well. I'm gonna close up Eugene's. We got Julie. Julie also signed up as a client. I'm going to make sure that I'm the only one commenting on her posts because nobody left her any comments on her posts. So I'm going to make sure she signed up as an Evie AI Pro client 2 days ago. So I want to show her that I'm supporting her. And so I'm liking, I'm going to like all her posts, but the only way I even remember that she exists was why? Because I saved her to Evie AI. And that's really key. If you're not saving people to Heavy AI, how are you supposed to remember that they exist? You're just gonna keep everybody in your memory bank? No, that's not gonna work. You need to save them somewhere. You need to save your contacts in a place where you're gonna remember that they're existing and that you're gonna start building a relationship with them, getting to know them, and then looking at their stuff and connecting with them. That's the idea. The idea is you gotta, you gotta connect with people based on where they are and leave comments on their posts and they'll remember that you exist. If you wanna book a meeting with somebody, you don't just show up outta the blue and say, hey, do you wanna meet? You have a back and forth with them for a little bit and you act like a normal human being and you get to know them a little bit and you say, hey, would it make sense for us to kind of take this and get on the phone? It seems like we have what to talk about. It seems like we're going back and forth. You know what I mean? If you just, if you just don't go back and forth with anybody and you're just hoping that they're gonna, that they're gonna want to get on the phone with you, that usually doesn't happen. So I do recommend that you take the time to go back and forth with people, build relationships with them, actually get to know them, learn about their business, read their profiles, see who they are. Who are you even talking to? Who are these people? And then, and once you do that, you're much more likely to be successful at LinkedIn. I just had a conversation with Michael Bonfields. Michael Bonfields was on a LinkedIn Live. You randomly found me on a LinkedIn Live, and then we had a conversation. It was just, it's just amazing how many people I've met and the relationships that I've built because I just started, decided to just start going live. And this is live number 198. I'm going to do 2 more lives before the end of the year. I'm gonna do one tomorrow. Then I'm gonna do one on Monday and that'll be that. That'll be the last live of the year. So I should probably schedule it out in advance so that it shows up and people can kind of book it. Let me do that. Let me teach you how to schedule a live, but first let's play the circle of growth. I'll teach you how to book a live. The first thing you're going to do is you're going to go to Canva and make a A graphic. We're going to find a live. I'm going to type in live.

LinkedIn live.
