Cold DMs done wrong are killing your business.
• No context
• No proof
• No specificity
• No value first
• Instant ignore
Acquire these first, the rest works itself out.

Using Stablecoins in real life is what we’re making possible, but its not stopping there, we’re building @JustXpend_ai into a full agentic system that would be a personal assistant to users, starting with Food, groceries, and Flights. we plan to expand this across every single day to day activities the average human engages in. Xpend would learn about you, adapt to your preferences, and at your approval become autonomous and act on your behalf. Really excited for V2🥳
Builders, this one’s for you.
Join the BuildX AI Season Hackathon and build the next AI-powered onchain application on X Layer, with up to $300K in rewards.
You build it. You ship it. We back it.
Applications close Aug 21, 23:59 UTC.

I think most people don't understand the psychology of starting a sales conversation.
Take web developers for example.
Most first messages sound like this:
"Do you need a website?"
"Can I redesign your website?"
"Are you looking for a web developer?"
These questions fail because they make it easy for someone to say one word.
"No."
Conversation over.
A better salesperson doesn't start with a solution. They start with curiosity.
Instead of asking if someone needs a website, ask:
How are most of your customers finding you today?
See the difference?
The conversation is no longer about your service. It's about their business.
One of the most important principles in sales is this:
People enjoy talking about their problems more than listening to someone talk about their solution.
The more someone explains their challenges, the more invested they become in solving them. That's when your service becomes relevant instead of feeling like another random pitch.
Doctors ask questions before writing prescriptions.
Consultants ask questions before giving advice.
The best salespeople do exactly the same.
Stop trying to convince people you can help.
Help them explain what they're struggling with first.
People don't buy because you have a website service.
They buy because they believe you understand their problem.
That's the difference between a cold DM that gets ignored and one that starts a conversation.
Had a wonderful chat with @Afro_Play, we spoke about @JustXpend_ai and what we’re building. Also spoke about the V2 launch. Thank the team for having me and for spotlighting African Founders💙
Having Crypto should never make a simple bank transfer complicated.
Vendors, P2P apps and chasing rates are less likely to help you.
With, @JustXpend_ai you're a few click to a completed transaction.
