If Elvis was on LinkedIn

You’re just starting your career as a concert producer and you’re looking for clients.

Elvis is in the prime of his career.

Hotter than hot.

You have zero experience with big names.

Why not take a shot and see if Elvis would be open to having you manage a world tour?

What could possibly go wrong?

If Elvis was on LinkedIn, would you invite him to connect and start pitching him with LinkedIn messages?

What would you say in those messages to get Elvis’s attention?

Hi Elvis, I noticed that you are a leader in the entertainment industry. Quick question, would you be interested in having me manage your next world tour?

Elvis is busy and ignores your message.

A few days later you follow up with another message.

Appreciate the connection, Elvis. I know you’re busy, so I’ll keep this short. I am reaching out to schedule a quick connect call with you. Would you be open to learning more about me managing your next world tour? Reply, yes and I’ll send more information. If not, no worries at all.

Elvis again ignores your message, so you try one more time.
