How I use LinkedIn voice notes to book meetings remotely

In today’s issue, I’ll share the exacts steps I follow to book meetings with LinkedIn voice notes. In 2025, you have no other choice but to try new tactics every 2 to 3 weeks. What works today won’t work tomorrow because everyone is constantly sharing their playbook on LinkedIn.

As a result, a new tactic becomes old really quickly, and prospects become numb to it.

I’ll share how to solve that problem, step-by-step:

The problem with outbound prospecting

Outbound prospecting used to be a lot simpler. You could create a 5-step email sequence, put it on autopilot and you’d get replies and meetings booked automatically. Nowadays, you’re competing with thousands of other salespeople and their AI agents.

Writing good emails isn’t enough. You need to get the infrastructure right, use multiple channels, and constantly tweak your messaging. Outbound prospecting is getting exponentially harder with every new AI tool that comes out.

That’s why you need to stand out and show you’re human. And what better way to do that than using LinkedIn voice notes. Here’s how:

Step 1: Know how to send voice notes on LinkedIn

Voices notes are hidden. If you go on LinkedIn with your computer, you won’t be able to send one.

The first step is to download the LinkedIn app on your mobile phone. Be it iOS or Android, you’ll have access to this functionality (if your OS is not too old).

Keep in mind that you can only send voice notes to people you are connected with (1st degree connection). Head to the messaging section, locate the person you want to contact, and look for a small microphone icon (like below):

Hold your finger on the microphone icon and you’ll be able to record a voice note (max 60 seconds). When you’re done, a confirmation popup will appear and it will be send to the recipient.

Step 2: Create curiosity

Now that you know how to send a voice note, you need to know what to say.

I love using a simple framework for my asynchronous touchpoints:

  • Trigger: A problem-oriented piece of information (like/comment/event attendance/profile view)
  • Question: A question related to the trigger
  • Teaser: An intriguing piece of information to solve a specific problem
  • CTA: A simple question to start a conversation

Here’s an example:

  • Trigger: John, noticed you were also planning to attend Mary’s event on hybrid team setups.
  • Question: What are you doing to avoid boring participants to death with worn out webinar slides?
  • Teaser: Would it be a bad idea to share a 3 part framework to run engaging webinars with hybrid crowds?
  • CTA: Let me know and I’ll send it over

Step 3: Do it daily

You know how to send a voice note, and what to say. This doesn’t mean your voice notes will immediately sound great.

Next, you need to build the habit of leaving voice notes on LinkedIn, otherwise you’ll try it once, and you won’t see any results. Like everything worth it, it takes a bit of patience and effort. You’ll feel like your voice notes sound terrible at first, but give yourself a goal.

Here are a few tips I wish I had when starting with voice notes:

  • Commit to sending one voice note per day, for two weeks
  • Practice with friends
  • Stand up and walk while you’re recording the voice note
  • See it as if you were leaving a Whatsapp note to a friend

And these are 3 simple steps you can follow to use LinkedIn voice notes to get replies. In an age where everyone is getting lazier and spamming prospects with AI-generated crap, you sending LinkedIn voice notes will feel like a breeze of fresh air (and get you more replies).

Hope this helps.
