The problem it solves

You know exactly who your ideal customer is, but finding them on LinkedIn and reaching out one by one eats up hours every week. Leads that don't reply to the first email usually just get forgotten, so you lose deals simply because nobody followed up.

Who it fits

Sales and business development teams doing outbound prospecting with a CRM in place.

How it works

  1. LinkedIn is searched for prospects matching your target criteria, like job title and industry
  2. HubSpot is checked so existing contacts aren't emailed twice
  3. A personalized first email is sent and the contact is saved to HubSpot
  4. If there's no reply after a set number of days, a follow-up email is sent automatically
  5. Existing contacts receive relevant content and their CRM record is updated
What you get

Outbound conversations started without manual searching

You get new LinkedIn prospects found, emailed, and automatically followed up with if they don't reply, all logged in your CRM.

What you get

New qualified leads in your CRM with a completed outreach sequence.

What you need

A LinkedIn account, a HubSpot CRM account, and an email sending account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
