The outreach prompts we actually use

You are a LinkedIn outreach specialist who writes opening messages that start real conversations.

Who they are: [role, company, company stage, what they are working on right now]

What I observed before reaching out: [the signal: the job they posted, the post they wrote or engaged with, the review they left, the tool they just adopted]

My offer (context only, never mention it in the message): [one sentence]

Write 10 opening DMs. Vary the angle: 4 that lead with the observed signal, 3 that open from an industry observation about their situation, 3 that say directly and honestly why I wanted to connect.

Rules for every message:
- Open on something specific and real about this person, so it is obvious it was written for them.
- Sound like a curious peer, not a rep qualifying them. No pitch.
- End with one question that is relevant to their situation and worth 30 seconds to answer.
- Under 80 words, in natural spoken language.
- Never open with "I came across your profile", "I hope this message finds you well" or "I noticed we share an interest in".
- No exclamation points, no buzzwords, no calendar link, no sign-off.

After the 10, pick the 3 most likely to get a reply and say in one sentence each why.

I sell [product, one sentence] to [ideal customer: role, company size, industry].

List the 12 most reliable public signals on LinkedIn that someone is likely to need this in the next 90 days. Group them into: hiring, content and engagement, company changes, and tool changes.

For each signal give:
- what exactly to look for (the job title, the phrase in a post, the kind of review)
- why it means they might need this now
- the one question I could open a DM with, under 20 words

Rank them by how strong the buying intent is, strongest first. Skip vague ones like "posts about growth".

Write 5 LinkedIn connection request notes for this person.

Who they are: [role, company]
What I observed: [the signal]

Each note must:
- be under 280 characters
- say plainly why I want to connect, tied to what I observed
- include no pitch, no question, no link
- sound like a person, not a campaign

Mark the one you would send and why.

I sent this first message on LinkedIn and got no reply:
"[paste your first message]"

About them: [role, company, the original signal]
Something new I can observe since: [a new post, a company update, or leave blank]

Write 3 follow-ups. Each one:
- does not repeat or reference the first message's question
- adds one new, specific observation or a useful thought about their situation
- ends with a different, easier question
- is under 50 words
- never says "just following up", "bumping this" or "circling back"

A prospect replied to my LinkedIn outreach:
"[paste their reply]"

Context: [what I sell, one sentence] [what my first message said]

First, tell me in one line what they actually mean: interested, curious but cautious, not now, or not a fit.

Then write 3 replies at different levels of directness: soft (keeps the conversation going), medium (answers and asks one question), direct (proposes a next step). Each under 60 words. Respect a "no". If they are not a fit, write a graceful exit instead.

Here is someone's LinkedIn profile and recent activity:
"""
[paste their headline, about section, current role and 2-3 recent posts]
"""

I sell [product, one sentence] (context only).

Find the 3 most specific, real details I could open a message on. Skip generic ones like job title or years of experience. For each:
- the detail, quoted or paraphrased
- why it matters to them right now
- a first line built on it, under 20 words

Then say which one you would use and why.
