Use this to plan a LinkedIn campaign end to end. LinkedIn is a conversation channel; messages that read like emails pasted into a chat window get ignored.
Inputs
- Persona and the problem the campaign is about.
- Offer and approved proof.
- The reason to connect (from research, an event, content or a trigger).
The play
1. Shape the sequence
| Step | Timing | Job | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection request | Day 0 | Get accepted | Under 200 characters, no pitch |
| Message 1 | 1-3 days after accept | Start a conversation on the topic | 1-3 sentences, ends in a question |
| Message 2 | 4-5 days later | Give value: an insight, resource or story | 2-4 sentences |
| Message 3 | 5-7 days later | Soft ask tied to their answer or the topic | 2-3 sentences |
| Message 4 | 7-10 days later | Close the loop warmly | 1-2 sentences |
Voice notes and short videos can replace message 2 or 3 for Tier 1 contacts; they stand out because few people use them.
2. Write like a chat
Short lines, no subject, no sign-off block, no bullet lists, no links in message 1. Ask questions people can answer from their phone in five seconds.
3. Bridge from topic to problem
Message 1 is about the topic that made you connect. The bridge to your problem comes through their answer, or in message 2 with a peer insight. Read references/linkedin-sequence-example.md for a full example with reply branches.
4. Handle replies fast
LinkedIn replies expect a response within hours. Positive replies get a meeting link or two time options; questions get a direct answer, not a pitch.
5. Exit rules
Stop on any reply (switch to manual), if they decline, or if someone at the same account books a meeting. Withdraw connection requests not accepted after 14-21 days.
What good looks like
- Message 1 gets a reply because it is a question about their world, not your product.
- No message is longer than a phone screen.
- Acceptance 30%+, reply rate on accepted connections 15-25%+ for a well-targeted list.
- The common mistake is "Thanks for connecting! We help companies like yours…" sent seconds after acceptance.
Rules
- MUST wait at least a day after acceptance before the first message.
- MUST stop automation the moment someone replies.
- MUST stay within safe daily limits for invitations and messages.
- NEVER pitch in the connection note or message 1.
- NEVER send links in the first message.
Example prompts
- "Build a LinkedIn sequence for heads of finance at 50-200 person companies. Problem: slow month-end close."
- "What should I send after people accept my connection request?"
- "Rewrite our LinkedIn messages; they read like emails."
LinkedIn sequence example with reply branches
Persona: Heads of Finance at 50-200 person companies. Topic: month-end close.
Connection note
Your post on cutting close from 10 days to 6 had some smart ideas. Would be good to connect.
Message 1 (2 days after accept)
Thanks for connecting, Maya. Curious: of the ideas in your post, which one actually saved the most time? The approval cut-off one surprised me.
Message 2 (5 days later, if no reply)
One thing I keep hearing from finance leads at your size: the accounting is fast, it’s the last-week approvals that drag. A controller at Contoso fixed it with a day-3 cut-off and one approval queue, and got to a 4-day close. Does that match what you see?
Message 3 (6 days later)
If it’s useful, I can send the checklist Contoso used. It’s a one-pager, no strings. Want it?
Message 4 (8 days later)
Will leave it here, Maya. If close time becomes a priority again, happy to compare notes anytime.
Reply branches
| Their reply | Your answer |
|---|---|
| Answers the question (engaged) | Respond to what they said first; then share one relevant insight; ask if the problem is live for them now |
| "Sure, send it" | Send the asset, then: "Happy to walk you through how they rolled it out, 15 minutes this week or next?" |
| "What do you do?" | One sentence of what you do and for whom, one proof point, then a question about their situation |
| "Not a priority" | "Makes sense, thanks for saying so. Mind if I check back in a quarter?" |
| "We already use a tool for that" | "Got it. Out of curiosity, how long does close take with it today?" (only if genuinely curious; otherwise thank them) |
| "Not interested" / "Stop" | "Understood, I won’t message again." Then stop everywhere. |
Timing guardrails
- Send during their working hours, weekdays.
- No more than one unanswered message every 4 days.
- Total LinkedIn messages without a reply: 4 at most.
