Business Cold DM Generator
The generator draws from a pool of seven cold DM openers — each with placeholders for [Name] and [topic] or [space] — returning up to seven without replacement. The openers vary in approach: reacting to a post, admiring work with no pitch, asking a quick question, connecting over shared interests, noting a shared industry, a topic-specific compliment, and a pure content thank-you. Each leads with genuine interest rather than an ask. Founders doing social selling, sales reps prospecting on LinkedIn or Twitter, and consultants building their network use this. After picking an opener, replace [Name] and [topic] or [space] with real details from the person's profile or recent posts — that specific personalisation is what separates a reply-worthy message from one that reads as spam.

FAQ
What approach styles does the generator cover?
Seven: reacting to a specific post, expressing genuine admiration with no pitch, asking a quick question about their approach, connecting over shared interests, noting a shared industry or space, complimenting work on a specific topic, and thanking them for useful content. Each is a conversation-opener, not a sales message.
How do I fill in the placeholders correctly?
Replace [Name] with the person's actual name, [topic] with a real subject from their recent posts or work, and [space] with the specific industry or community you share. The placeholders are the parts you must personalise — a message sent with literal brackets reads as an unfinished template and gets ignored.
Should I pitch in the first message?
No. The first DM should start a conversation, not close a sale. Lead with genuine interest in the person's work, and let the relationship develop before making any ask. Pitching immediately is the fastest way to be ignored or blocked.
Why am I getting fewer openers than the count I set?
The pool contains seven openers and the sampler picks without replacement, capping output at seven regardless of the count input. Setting count to 8 returns all seven available messages.
