The thinking

The brief was uncomfortable: scale personalised CEO outreach to enterprise contacts without the messages reading like they came from a bot. Most agencies running this play just blast a generic template at volume and accept a 15% reply rate. The trade isn't worth it - it burns the LinkedIn account and the CEO's reputation in one motion.

So the structure split the work. Sales Navigator did the precision targeting - IT decision-makers, CXOs, and procurement leads. Automation ran the cadence at 2–3 day intervals. The personalisation lived in the opening line, which referenced the company's actual context.

Critically: the moment anyone replied, automation paused and the conversation moved to manual scheduling. The bot did the boring part. The CEO did the relationship part.

The bot did the boring part. The CEO did the relationship part.

Execution

  • Segmented ICP lists built in Sales Navigator across logistics, automation, public sector and enterprise IT
  • Cadence: connect, 2-day follow-up, 3-day follow-up, branch on response, auto-pause on reply
  • Three-message sequence: personalised opener, value-add second message, soft CTA third
  • Manual handoff to the CEO's calendar the moment a reply landed - no bot in the actual sales conversation
  • Monitored daily for connection-request limits; cooled when LinkedIn flagged volume
