The secret to my 1-in-3 conversion rate isn't just the initial message - it's the follow-up sequence.

Timing Framework:

• Initial Message: Day 0 (If blank connection request)
• Follow-up #1: Day 3 (Value-add)
• Follow-up #2: Day 7 (Social proof)
• Follow-up #3: Day 10 (Pattern interrupt)
• Final Follow-up: Day 13 (Closing the loop with an open door)

The Templates:

Follow-up #1: Value-Add (Day 3)

Quick follow-up, [NAME]—I just came across this [ARTICLE/RESOURCE] on [TOPIC RELEVANT TO THEM].

Thought you might find it valuable given your focus on [THEIR INTEREST].

My offer for a quick call still stands if you're interested.

Follow-up #2: Social Proof (Day 7)

[NAME], we just wrapped up a project with [SIMILAR COMPANY] that resulted in [SPECIFIC RESULT].

Thought of you since you're facing similar [CHALLENGE/OPPORTUNITY].

Still open to sharing our approach if you're interested.

Follow-up #3: Pattern Interrupt (Day 14)

[NAME], am I right in thinking that [SPECIFIC CHALLENGE] isn't a priority for [THEIR COMPANY] right now?

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something before I close my outreach.

Follow-up #4: Closing the Loop (Day 21)

[NAME], I'll assume timing isn't right and close my outreach.

If [THEIR CHALLENGE] becomes a priority, I'm here—we've helped [NUMBER] companies achieve [RESULT].

All the best!
