Taylor Desseyn explains why your LinkedIn messages get ignored. Asking for short calls doesn't work. Instead, send authentic, conversational DMs that blend casual and professional tone to stand out from the flood of generic pitches people receive.

I used to preach, hey, tell— ask somebody for a 5-minute conversation, 7-minute conversation, 9-minute conversation. Yeah, that— nope, fuck that. People ain't got time for that shit right now, right? So the realness that you can get through the DMs is huge. The amount of inauthentic DMs that I get on a daily basis is insane. The more conversational speak that you can blend in with professional speak, the better, because that means you're approachable.
