Joe Apfelbaum says one prospect took two years and multiple follow-ups to reply. Each message needs to add value, and you should comment on their posts at least five times daily. He recommends Evvy AI to automate the comments.

How often should I be following up with my prospects on LinkedIn? I always say, just keep following up over and over and over, and you're gonna start getting results because the fortune is not just by showing up. Show up and follow up. One case in particular with this guy named Steve, I sent him a message back in 2022. I sent him a message a month later. I sent him a message a couple months later. He didn't respond to any of these messages, and I just sent him one today at 11 and he responded by 2:00 PM. So what I wanna encourage you to do is not just send one message and say, Oh, I just sent a message already. Did it work? And I didn't get a response. The key is to keep sending messages over and over and make sure that you're adding value in every message that you're sending out to somebody and make sure that you also are leaving comments on their posts because if you're not, you're really gonna miss out the opportunity to be able to stay top of mind with those people. Drop at least 5 comments every single day. And if you're using Evvy AI, you can quickly just in one click of a button, leave comments on people's posts.
