She emphasizes that the key to successful client engagement lies in building genuine connections through presence, curiosity, and responsiveness. By sharing personal anecdotes and practical strategies, Maggie illustrates how to effectively navigate DMs to foster relationships that can lead to business opportunities. The conversation also highlights the pitfalls of focusing solely on message volume and the need for a more human approach to online interactions. Takeaways You can send all the DMs you want and still not book clients. It's not a visibility problem; it's a conversation problem. DMs should be a playground for connection, not a pitch stage. Presence over volume is crucial in conversations. Curiosity leads to better engagement than control. Not every conversation will lead to a sale, and that's okay. DMing more can lead to burnout if not done mindfully. Conversations can open doors to future opportunities. People want authentic connections, not scripted interactions. Understanding your client journey is essential for success.
