From reply to booked call in three messages
Most LinkedIn conversations stall because the seller asks for the meeting too early or too late. Here's the order that works.

A LinkedIn DM isn't an email sequence. The prospect replied because something in your message was relevant, and you have about three messages to turn that into a call before the thread goes cold.
Message 1: get a number
Ask one question that makes them describe their goal in concrete terms. “What would a good month look like?” works better than “What are your goals?” because it invites a number.
What would a good month look like for you?
Honestly, 4 new clients a month. Mostly referrals right now.
Message 2: tie the call to their number
Once you have a number, the call has a purpose. Repeat their words back and offer two specific times. Two options get more replies than “when works for you?”.
I can show you how to get those 4 in 15 minutes. Thu 1:30 PM or Fri 1:00 PM?
Message 3: confirm and send the invite
When they pick a time, ask for the best email and send the calendar invite right away. A real invite with a Meet link turns a “sure” into a commitment.
Sell By Chat follows this order. It reads which stage the thread is in, writes the next message for that stage, and has your open slots ready when it's time to offer them.
