Why You’re Still Not Getting Replies — and What to Do Instead

You finally built up the courage to start messaging people.

You’ve been consistent. You’ve sent dozens, maybe even hundreds of DMs.

But still — no replies.

Or worse: people open your message, read it… and say nothing.

And you start thinking:

“Am I annoying?” “Is this just not for me?” “Does appointment setting even work?”

Here’s the truth most people won’t tell you:

If no one is replying, your message isn’t the problem. Your approach is.


The harsh truth about cold DMs (that no one teaches)

There’s a reason your outreach is being ignored — and it’s not because you’re not trying hard enough.

Most people are taught:

  • “Just copy and paste this script.”

  • “Send 50 messages a day and someone will bite.”

  • “It’s a numbers game — keep going.”

But if you're spamming strangers with generic messages, you’re not learning appointment setting.

You’re learning how to be ignored.


Here’s what actually gets replies (and books calls)

Real appointment setters know how to:

  • Spot high-quality leads who are actually open to help

  • Start conversations, not sales pitches

  • Use curiosity and relevance, not pressure

  • Follow up with confidence, not fear

This is a learnable skill. And it works — when you have the right process.


How Insight Visionary teaches real outreach (that works)

When I joined Insight Visionary, I realised I’d been doing everything backwards.

Instead of guessing what to say, hoping someone replies, and panicking when they do…

I learned how to:

  • Find the right kind of leads every single day

  • Write messages that spark real interest

  • Get people to ask me about the offer

  • Follow up without being annoying

I didn’t need to be pushy. I didn’t need to be perfect.

I just needed a proven framework.


The 3 biggest reasons people don’t reply to your outreach


1. Your message is too long (or too vague)

People don’t read paragraphs from strangers.

They scan. If they’re confused, they scroll past.


2. You’re talking about yourself — not them

No one cares that you “help entrepreneurs scale to 6-figures.”

They care about their problem. Speak to that.


3. You’re messaging the wrong people

If you’re not filtering leads, you’ll always get silence.

It’s not about more messages — it’s about better ones.


“How do I know if I’m doing it right?”

This is where most people give up.

They try outreach for 2 weeks, get ghosted, and assume it doesn’t work.

But it does — when you know what to look for.

Inside Insight Visionary, you don’t just get scripts.

You get live feedback from coaches who review your messages, refine your strategy, and help you fix what’s not working in real time.

That’s the difference between “I hope this works” and “I know this works.”


Appointment setting is not about luck. It’s about leverage.

If you feel like you’re working hard but getting nothing back…

It’s probably because your outreach is built on trial and error, not strategy.

Once you have a system for outreach:

✅ You know who to message

✅ You know what to say

✅ You know how to follow up

✅ You know how to turn conversations into calls

No more guessing. No more ghosting.


Still wondering if Insight Visionary is right for you?

Ask yourself:

  • Are you sending messages but hearing nothing back?

  • Are you unsure if your outreach is good or bad?

  • Are you second-guessing everything you write?

  • Do you want to finally start booking real sales calls?

If you answered yes to any of those…

This isn’t a motivation issue.

It’s a systems issue — and Insight Visionary can fix it.


Ready to stop being ignored?

It’s not your fault.

You were never shown how to do this properly.

But now you know there’s a better way — and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
