How to Make Strangers Want to Work With You

Let’s get real—nobody hires random people off LinkedIn. People don’t wake up thinking, “Let me give my money to a stranger today.” So, if you’re not building trust, authority, and credibility, you’re just another name in the feed.
Most people make the mistake of selling too soon. They drop a pitch in the DMs, hoping for a response, only to get ignored. Why? Because they haven’t given people a reason to care.
The real game? Attraction, not chasing. If you want strangers to work with you, they need to feel like they already know you before they even speak to you. That’s what your LinkedIn profile and content should do. Every post, every comment, every interaction should subtly position you as the go-to expert—not just another service provider.
When you show up consistently, share insights that actually matter, and engage like a real human (instead of just promoting yourself), you stop being a stranger and start becoming a trusted name. And when that happens? People slide into YOUR inbox, asking how to work with you.
