Hey everyone, 90% of my marketing since I got into the startup realm 3 years ago was on LinkedIn as most of my projects have been b2b. During the last 2 months I’ve been using this message for high value leads and the results have been incredible, so just thought it’s worth sharing it here.

Hey {name},

I’m working on a no-code platform for building AI apps for marketers that I think you’ll love.

Since you have a big voice in the SEO space I have an interesting proposition for you that I can’t fit in the 300 character limit here, so I’d love to connect and chat further :)

Not much to it, but the curiousity factor seems to be doing wonders. Sometimes I emit the first part and change it for something more personlized like 'I came across your last post…" without mentioning what I’m working on at all.

Would love to know if you guys have had a super performing cold outreach message recently that you could share!

    Interesting, cold outreach on email never worked for me, are you sending hyper personalized emails?

    I use a python script I made myself, I just simply give it a search link, a number for outreaches, and a list of messages to test with and it automatically runs through it and updates a Google spreadsheet with all the leads + message used to track performance. Don’t mind sharing it but I think the tools you’re using offer more, and they’re a lot easier to use than a Python script.

      This sounds awesome. I’d be interested in looking at the script if you are still willing to share?

      I assume this does not work via LinkedIn API since LinkedIn locks down some of those features? So you are interacting with specific browser elements? Really interesting.

        Nope it doesn’t use the LinkedIn API, it just uses Selenium. I’ve been using it for 5 years and haven’t got a warning from LinkedIn or anything like that, just make sure that you keep the number of outreach low depending on the number of connections you have something like 2-3% of your current connections so if you have 2000 only do about 50 a day.

        It’s a very hacky script but here you go https://gist.github.com/mohdabdin/804dc17ac1e064c28b2860cf2c37dbb1

        I removed the spreadsheet functionality because that involves a lot more steps on your end but kept the result table to do whatever you want with it.

          Thanks for sharing!

          Given this is already in Python, I’m wondering if it would be worth adding an OpenAI module to it to allow some personalization of the outgoing message - perhaps commenting on a recent post or news item. But LinkedIn has blocked OpenAI browsing via robots.txt so it would need to be done via Selenium. You could do this without AI too. But it may introduce more errors (pulling the wrong info). There is a lot of benefit to keeping it simple.

          I like the ability to add alternate messages. At scale, this would let you A/B test messaging pretty effectively.
