If you read Day 1 of the Reply Worthy May Series, you already know:
The first 5 words of your DM decide whether the prospect reads sentence two.
Reid paid an agency $2K for a 7-message sequence. The first 5 words of his M1 were "I'm talking with B2B SaaS." Those 5 words could be sent to literally any SaaS founder on earth. Three months in, mostly silence.
Now you have two paths:
Path 1: Manually run the 5-Word Test on every DM you ever send. Open Claude or ChatGPT. Type your context. Paste the prompt. Paste your opener. Wait. Read the output. Copy the rewrites. Edit. Send. Then repeat the whole flow for the next DM. And the next. And the next.
Path 2: Set up the test once in Claude as a permanent skill. From then on, just type "run the 5-word test on this DM" and it triggers automatically. Three seconds per use. For the rest of your business life.
Path 2 is what's inside this guide.
The Spotlight Sender: You start every DM with "I'm" or "We help" because that's how every templated DM you've ever seen is structured. You've been sending these for months. Your reply rate is under 5%, you blame the market, and you keep sending more.
The "Already Personalized" Founder: Your DMs say things like "loved your recent post." You think you're personalizing. The prospect reads it and knows you didn't actually read the post. They mute you.
