After They Accept Your Friend Request — Step-by-Step

Here’s the best flow based on Simon Chan’s CLAM method and how top network marketers handle the “friend request accepted” stage — without rushing people and without looking spammy.

After They Accept Your Friend Request — Step-by-Step

1. Warm Welcome & Light Engagement (The “L” in CLAM: Listen)

  • Send a short, friendly message — no selling yet.

  • Example:

    Hey [Name], thanks for connecting! 😊 How’s your week going so far?

  • This positions you as a genuine person, not a salesperson.

2. Build a Tiny Bit of Rapport (The “L” & “A”: Listen & Ask)

  • Ask a light, non-business question to learn about them.

  • Example:

    I see you’re into [something from their profile] — how did you get into that?

  • This helps you find a natural segue into your product or opportunity later.

3. Introduce the Group as a Value Resource (The “M” in CLAM: Message)

Instead of jumping to “Can I show you my product?”, invite them to something free and helpful — your preparation Facebook group.

  • Frame it as a place they will benefit from, not a sales page.

  • Example:

    By the way, I run a private Facebook group where we share tips on [benefit they care about — e.g., healthy energy, weight control, or building an extra income stream]. It’s totally free, no pressure — you might enjoy the tips there. Want me to send you the invite link?

Why Group First is Best

  • Lower resistance: People rarely say yes to a direct “Do you want to buy/join?” after just accepting a friend request.

  • Creates curiosity: They’ll see your posts, testimonials, and other members’ stories inside the group.

  • Leverages duplication: Your team can use the same group to build trust with prospects.

Inside the Group — How the Sale Happens

Once they join, your group content does the heavy lifting:

  1. Welcome post tagging them.

  2. Stories/testimonials pinned at the top.

  3. Live videos and posts that solve their problems.

  4. Clear call-to-action (DM you for details, click link, etc.).

✅ Key tip: You can still invite them directly to see your product/opportunity later — but only after some interaction in the group or after they engage with your content.

If you want, I can write you a full CLAM-based messenger script for:

  • When they accept your friend request

  • How to smoothly invite to the group

  • How to follow up inside the group until they’re ready to see your product or business.
