We recently reached an important milestone that we’re proud to share. One of our clients, an AI platform in the US market, closed two enterprise deals within the first year of the leads we generated!

While it might seem like "just two deals," in the enterprise sector, that translates to over 1,000% ROI in the first year.

This project was specifically focused on enterprise accounts: a well-defined target list, tailored personalization for both companies and roles, and close collaboration with the client’s sales team.

Sales cycles in the enterprise space tend to be long, with decisions involving multiple stakeholders. Results are typically seen after sustained effort over time. This is completely normal in enterprise Social Selling.

That’s why the true measure of effectiveness should be looked at over a 12–18 month period. This gives enough time for deals to close, revenue to materialize, and ROI to be accurately assessed.

We’re thrilled with this outcome and proud of how Social Selling can deliver real, measurable results in complex B2B sectors.

AI-generated LinkedIn comments are getting out of hand.

It’s become more and more common to see completely new accounts engaging with our posts — accounts that we’ve never interacted with before. They leave comments and send connection requests almost immediately after a post goes live.

It’s clear that many are using automation tools to track keywords and drop generic comments. The issue with these comments? They’re easy to spot — they don’t engage with the actual content or add value to the conversation, making them feel synthetic and impersonal.

At ModumUp, we believe in meaningful engagement. That's why, in all of our Social Selling projects, we take the time to comment manually. We read the post, understand the context, and reply with thoughtful, relevant comments. This is how trust is built — especially in B2B environments.

We’re not against using AI. In fact, we use it daily for many aspects of our work. However, when it comes to social media, the human touch is crucial. Automated comments may help you scale, but they often come across as robotic and can hurt your reputation if your audience notices.

Most LinkedIn messages don’t work. So, what makes a message effective?

At ModumUp, we frequently analyze which outreach messages perform the best – those that generate the most leads from large companies and lead to B2B deals. Here are the latest best practices based on our findings.

The primary goal of a LinkedIn message is simple: start a real conversation and move it to another channel, like a call or meeting.

Here’s what works:

- The first message should be short and a bit abstract. The less you talk about your product, the more likely the person will engage in a conversation.

- Start with empathy. Most people see new offers as potential risks. Speak from their perspective – reduce anxiety rather than adding to it.

- Avoid bold promises of huge growth or unrealistic ROI. These come across as ads and generate resistance.

- Make your message feel human. Overly formal or long messages sound automated and impersonal.

- Focus on partnership. This term builds more trust than "collaboration" because it’s neutral and opens the door for further discussion.

- Each follow-up should stand on its own. Instead of saying, "Did you see my previous message?", start fresh. This removes any pressure.

- Share examples or case studies in follow-ups. They reduce anxiety and increase trust – people are more likely to engage when they see your solution has worked for others.

- Reconnect with a new reason every few weeks – whether it’s a case study, a report, or a trend post. This keeps the conversation going and offers value without pushing.

- Tailor your approach based on your target segment. Innovative companies respond to trends, while conservative ones look for proof that others are already adopting it. Industries like media care about "new traffic", finance prioritizes trust and reliability, etc.

At the core of every successful LinkedIn message is empathy – not persuasion, but understanding and genuine care for the person you’re reaching out to.

Wishing everyone success in Social Selling!

How to follow up on LinkedIn without being annoying

The most common reaction on LinkedIn isn’t “like” or “reply.”
It’s silence 👀

And that’s okay — people get busy, and messages slip through the cracks.
No response doesn’t mean your offer isn’t interesting. It usually just means your message got lost in the noise.

That’s where message sequences come in. They remind your prospect who you are and increase your chances of getting a reply — without sounding pushy.

At ModumUp, we use two main types of sequences: networking and lead generation.

➡️ Networking Sequence

Keep it friendly and low-pressure — you’re building a relationship, not trying to sell.

1️⃣ Intro — say who you are, what you do, and invite them to share a bit about themselves
2️⃣ Value — follow up with something useful: an invite to a private event, a webinar, or an article worth reading
3️⃣ Soft invitation — mention the event again or suggest a quick chat
If there’s still no reply, that’s fine — reach out again in a few months with something new

➡️ Lead Generation Sequence

This one’s longer (up to 5 messages) and a bit more structured.

1️⃣ Offer — a short, clear message about what you do and how it can help.
2️⃣ Context — explain how it solves your prospect’s challenges.
3️⃣ Proof — share quick case studies or results.
4️⃣ Engagement — ask a question or send something relevant to spark a reply.
5️⃣ Wrap-up — say you won’t follow up again, but you’re open to chat anytime.

Spacing: 2–3 days between messages.

And if someone replies — stop the sequence and have a real conversation.

Most of the time, the first, second, and final messages get the best response rates.

People procrastinate, forget — and then 💥 FOMO hits.

Keep it human, consistent, and respectful. That’s how real relationships — and deals — happen.

Wishing everyone great conversations and even better leads!
