Understand Your Buyer > How To Lose The Sale > Spam Liking
What is it?
When someone likes A MILLION of your posts… it’s nearly always a warning sign that you have an incoming pitch.
Why does it work?
People are susceptible to flattery, I get it, but when a stranger likes 30 Instagram posts in quick succession and then follows me and DMs me compliments… I nearly always brace for the pitch slap.
How can you use it?
If you want people to be suspicious of your intentions, or to ignore your connection request/DMs, then shower them in likes and lead with flattery. It’s a big red flag, especially for those of us who get this kind of nonsense on a DAILY basis.
If you want to connect with people, you have to GENUINELY interact with them, leaving thoughtful comments over a period of time.
If you spam like 100 posts in 2 minutes, it just tells me you’re going through the motions as someone told you this is how to do it. (it’s not..)
Example
This person liked about 30 of my posts in such a short period of time, there is NO WAY they could have genuinely read and understood them…
