The 3-Sentence DM Protocol: Three Rules for Maximum Impact
The goal is to get a clear answer or a definitive next step with the absolute minimum number of characters. Remember, a DM is a conversation starter, not a contract negotiation.
Rule 1: One DM, One Purpose (The Clarity Command)
Never use one DM to pitch your life story, ask for a job, and compliment their outfit. That's a confusing mess that guarantees you get archived.
The Strategic Move: Every DM must have a single, clear purpose. Your Goal Alignment for the DM should be to get a "Yes" to the next, small step (e.g., "Can we move this to email?" or "Can I send you a quick proposal?").
The Freedom: This forces you to be clear about your intent. It respects the recipient's time and makes it easy for them to give you a quick, actionable response.
Rule 2: The Three-Sentence Structure (The Dynamo Formula)
Your DM should contain exactly three sentences. No more, no less.
Sentence 1: The Compliment/Context. State a specific, genuine compliment or reference a recent piece of their work. (e.g., "Your recent post on the Sacred Block was brilliant—it totally reframed my approach.")
Sentence 2: The Ask. State your single, clear question or request. (e.g., "I'm launching a similar product and would love your quick take on the title.")
Sentence 3: The Low-Friction Call to Action. State the required next step that requires minimal effort from them. (e.g., "Would you be open to a quick 5-minute voice note exchange on this?")
The Strategic Win: This structure is impossible to ignore. It shows you've done your homework, you respect their time, and you have a clear purpose. It’s the fastest way to move your Strategic Execution forward.
Rule 3: The "No" is a Gift (The Boundary Enforcer)
The 3-Sentence DM is not about being pushy; it's about being clear. If they don't respond, you move on.
The Strategic Move: If you get no response after 48 hours, send one final, polite, 3-sentence follow-up. If still nothing, put them on your Anti-To-Do List for 6 months. Your time is too valuable to chase.
The Freedom: This is a powerful act of Strategic Simplification. You are setting a boundary that protects your Sacred Block time from the chaos of others. You are giving yourself the freedom to say "No" to unnecessary chasing.
