GROWTH STRATEGIES
Win in 2025 with AI-enabled outreach

Your outbound strategy is bleeding money right now.

Want to know why?

You're still doing everything manually, aren't you?

I see it all the time - marketing & sales teams spending hours scraping LinkedIn,

Manually sending connection requests, and trying to stay on top of their inbox.

It's exhausting, isn't it?

I get it - I used to spend 4 hours every day just researching leads and sending personalized messages.

But here's what changed everything...

Last year, we generated $15M at GrowthAssistant.

Want to know what's mind blowing?

We did it with just ONE full-time marketing employee and TWO GrowthAssistants!

How?

By combining smart automation with human expertise.

And today, I'm going to show you exactly how we did it.

First, here's your complete guide to automating your outbound without losing the personal touch:

(btw download here an even more complete and detailed step-by-step guide!)

Step 1: Build Your Lead Generation Machine

  • Use Phantombuster to automatically collect Twitter followers and engagers daily

  • Set up Sales Navigator with specific filters like "Posted on LinkedIn in past 30 days"

  • Connect Clay.com to enrich your LinkedIn data with 24+ data points

  • Track company revenue, funding rounds, and recent news automatically

  • Extract data from both 1st-degree connections and post engagers

  • Watch competitor engagement for potential leads

  • Let these tools run daily to build your lead list while you sleep

Step 2: Create Your AI-Powered Qualification System

  • Connect Zapier to OpenAI for automatic lead scoring

  • Rate prospects from 1-10 based on their fit

  • Create filters that only show leads scoring 7 or higher

  • Use AI to analyze Twitter bios and LinkedIn posts for intent signals

  • Track job changes and promotions for perfect timing

  • Set up automatic alerts for trigger events like funding rounds or new positions

  • Focus on leads showing active engagement in the last 30 days

Step 3: Master Your Personalization Engine

  • Use Custom GPT to draft highly personalized messages

  • Reference recent posts, mutual connections, and company news

  • Keep Twitter DMs under 280 characters

  • Include specific icebreakers based on their content

  • Mention shared interests discovered through AI analysis

  • Train your AI with successful past messages

  • Use a mix of professional and casual tones based on the prospect's style

Step 4: Perfect Your Multi-Channel Follow-Up Sequence

  • Day 1: Send a LinkedIn connection request with a personalized note

  • Day 3: Follow up with valuable insight from their industry

  • Day 7: Send an email with a relevant case study

  • Day 14: Share content that addresses their pain points

  • Day 21: Final value-add touchpoint

Step 5: Optimize Your Results

  • Track acceptance rates on connection requests

  • Track response rates across channels

  • A/B test different message styles

  • Analyze which content gets the most engagement

  • Adjust your AI prompts based on successful conversations

  • Refine your lead scoring criteria monthly

  • Build a database of winning templates

But here's the secret sauce most people miss:

You need skilled humans to make this system sing.
