Case study
Warm Outreach
Two weeks of genuine engagement before the ask lifted accept rates from ~30% to 50%+ and roughly doubled replies.
The case study
The business
A business running the cold connection engine and wanting every number in the funnel to move, on the same 550-prospect list.
The situation
A request from an unknown name gets a guess. A request from someone who left two smart comments on your posts last week gets a positive opinion, formed before you asked for anything.
And the comments are public, seen by the prospect's audience, which overlaps heavily with your ICP.
What they did
- 1Monitored the ICP list's posts and surfaced each new post to a queue.
- 2Sent one thoughtful comment per prospect, drafted for review, in the founder's voice, never generic noise.
- 3Gave it 1 to 2 weeks of light genuine presence, two or three touches.
- 4Then connected, from a now-familiar name, with an opener that continued the comment thread.
