📈 How to Improve Your Chat Sales as a Beginner

Tips from the OFM Jobs community to help you earn more — faster.

💬 Why Chat Sales Matter

Whether you're new to DM chatting for creators or just landed your first role through OFM Jobs, one thing is clear: chatting isn’t just talking — it’s selling.

And the better you are at converting conversations into tips, upsells, and purchases… the more you earn.

Here’s how to go from shy beginner to confident seller — without being pushy or fake.

🔑 Understand the Creator’s Brand & Voice

Every creator has a tone — playful, flirty, mysterious, wholesome, etc. Before you send your first message:

• Review their profile
• Study past messages (if available)
• Ask the agency or creator for brand do’s and don’ts

🧠 Selling becomes much easier when fans feel like they’re talking to the creator — not a random rep.

💡 Use Emotional Triggers (Not Just Promos)

Chat sales are emotional, not transactional. Learn to tap into these motivators:

• FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): “This deal ends tonight!”
• Exclusivity: “You’re one of the few fans getting this offer.”
• Gratitude: “Love how supportive you’ve been — here’s something special…”
• Playfulness: “Should I tease you with what’s coming next?” 😏

Avoid sounding robotic. Make fans feel seen.

✨ Create Curiosity Before the Pitch

Instead of dropping links or prices too soon, build suspense:

Bad: “Want to buy this?”

Better: “I just uploaded something wild… want a sneak peek?”

Best: “Only 3 fans have unlocked this today. Should I tell you what they saw?”

Rule of thumb: Always lead with intrigue. Then make the offer.

🔁 Use Pre-Written Templates (Then Personalise)

Starting from scratch every time? Exhausting.

Use starter scripts like:

“Hey [name], I’ve got something special for you tonight 👀”

“Totally your vibe — just posted this 🔥”

“You’ve been one of my favs lately, want early access?”

Then add a personal touch (their name, last message, interests). Templates save time — personalization boosts conversion.

📊 Track What Works

Keep a note of:

• Which openers get replies
• Which phrases lead to purchases
• Which upsells fans ignore

Top performers test and tweak — don’t guess, measure.

🚫 Don’t Oversell

Avoid flooding chats with spammy promos. You’ll kill the vibe. Instead:

• Balance value + sales (3 messages of convo for every 1 pitch)
• Only pitch relevant offers
• Be patient — timing is everything

📈 Keep Improving

The best OFM chatters treat every week like training camp. They:

• Review chats and refine
• Ask agencies for performance feedback
• Learn from other high earners
• Practice emotional connection — not just selling

Even 5% better performance = more $$$.
