📌 “Qualified replies” = relevant, decision-making leads from our ICP
We launched a multi-phase outreach campaign using LinkedIn and cold email. Here’s how we executed it step-by-step:
✅ Phase 1: Initial LinkedIn Outreach

Manual follow-up with all accepted leads
📈 Results:

Based on insights, we introduced two new avatars:

Once each campaign hit 300+ accepted connections, we triggered automated follow-up sequences — significantly improving reply and qualification rates.
