Run a LinkedIn outreach campaign

👀 Overview

This workflow automates your LinkedIn outreach in very simple steps

• Define an audience of LinkedIn profiles
• Define a sequence with the following 💬 :
  • Invite Message : that will be sent along with the connection requests to your audience
  • Welcome Message : sends a welcome message when profiles from your audience accept your connection requests.
  • Follow-up : sends a follow-up message to the people who did not answer to your previous message.
    You can add a delay between the welcome message and the follow-up message.

🧳 Prerequisite

In order to setup the sequence you need to insure you have :

• A Google Drive account
• A LinkedIn account (ideally a premium account)
• A Spreadsheet with the right column headers. We recommend you to import it in your Google Drive account with 👉 this link -  it contains an integrated reporting for you to track how you outreach sequence performs 🤩
• A list of audience. You can gather it using an other workflow such as :
  • Import Leads from a Sales Navigator Search in a Spreadsheet
  • Automate Sales Navigator Lead Generation with Dropcontact & Spreadsheet
  • Automate Sales Navigator Lead Generation with ColdCRM & Spreadsheet
  • We have many workflows in out Store - you can also ask us with the Help Button 💬 and we'll guide you 👌

⚙️ Setup

1 - Integrations

3 - Parameters

Now setup the Parameters section. You have different parameters available 👇

Spreadsheet and Sheet name

• Fill in the Spreadsheet ID : docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/SPREADSHEET_ID/edit.. you want to extract SPREADSHEET_ID and fill-it in.
  • example : if the spreadsheet url looks like https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nSN0ArVIGALiG-VvjcmO08k9V1hjPNBfnCmdEm_XTuI/edit#gid=1261679517 then the spreadsheet ID will be 1nSN0ArVIGALiG-VvjcmO08k9V1hjPNBfnCmdEm_XTuI

Message types

Write your messages and link your spreadsheet. For reminders you have access to three types of messages. 

You cannot add more than three steps in a sequence : 

• invite (make sure the invite message length is less then 300 characters, you can also leave it empty if you want no note to be sent along with the connection request)
• welcome (no limit in terms of length)
• follow-up (no limit in terms of length)

Message content

In order to personalize your messages you can use the following custom variables : 

• {{first_name}} : will use the first name of the prospect
• {{company_name}} : will use the company name of the prospect (WIP)

Delays

Note that the delays between each message are in number of days. 

The Welcome message can be sent ONLY if the people accepted your connection requests in the first place.

If you have a follow-up message, make sure you add a delay 👌

Number of daily update

This is the number of time per day we will update the sequence data. By default, it is set to one and you can update the sequence up to 6 times per day.

Once those parameters are filled-in, your configuration should look like the following 👇

4 - Launcher Settings

You can launch the workflow now or later. If you select the later option you will need to define the specific date and time you want the workflow to start at.

We recommend using the Time slots settings to make sure you will send messages only when you are in the right timeframe (i.e during the day and not at night for instance).

Make sure NEVER to schedule repeatedly with this workflow, we handle everything for you !

Click on Launch and you are all set 🏆. 

Now, sit-back, relax, go grab a ☕️ and enjoy your LinkedIn outreach on autopilot 🔥
