Updated over a month ago

🤓 Introduction

Hey there! It's Valentin, one of the Sales Development Representatives at ZELIQ. Today, I want to share with you an awesome case study on how we’ve been crushing it with a multi-channel sequence using ZELIQ LinkedIn and email automation. 🙋🏼‍♀️ This strategy has helped us boost engagement and conversion rates, and I'm excited to show you how we did it.

🎯 Objectives

Our main goals were pretty straightforward:

  • Increase Lead Engagement: Get more interaction from potential leads.

  • Boost Conversion Rates: Turn those engaged leads into happy customers.

  • Improve Brand Awareness: Make a stronger impression in the market.

📜 Strategy Overview

We created a well-oiled machine combining LinkedIn outreach and email automation. The idea was to create a smooth journey for prospects, guiding them through the sales funnel with a mix of personal touch and automation.

💥 Step-by-Step Sequence

Phase 1️⃣: Send an email

Day 1:

  • Action: Send a personalized email to the prospect.

  • Subject Line: Transform your prospecting

  • Email Body:

Hi {{firstName}}, many sales teams use multiple tools, but ZELIQ offers an all-in-one solution, integrating LinkedIn sequences and a lead search engine.

We've raised $15M to make a significant impact on the Salestech market.

Could we schedule a brief meeting to discuss how ZELIQ can enhance your prospecting?

Best regards,

Valentin

Purpose: Make initial contact and set up a more formal conversation.

Phase 2️⃣: LinkedIn Profile Visit

Day 2:

  • Action: Visit the prospect's LinkedIn profile.

  • Purpose: Increase visibility and show genuine interest in the prospect.

Phase 3️⃣ LinkedIn Connection Request

Day 3:

  • Action: Send a personalized connection request on LinkedIn.

  • Message:

Hi [Prospect's Name],

I noticed we share a common interest in [relevant industry/topic]. I'd love to connect and share insights about [specific area].

Best regards,

Valentin

Purpose: Establish a direct line of communication and build rapport.

Phase 4️⃣: Follow-Up Email

Day 5:

  • Action: Send a follow-up email.

  • Subject Line: Let's simplify your process

  • Email Body:

Hi {{firstName}}, you might be using several tools for prospecting. However, fewer tools lead to better performance. Here are a few observations we've made:

  • Too many manual actions that should be automated.

  • Limited visibility into the relevance of actions, making it hard to identify genuinely interested prospects.

  • Salespeople's motivation is stretched thin due to single-task-focused tools lacking versatility.

Do these issues resonate with your experience? Shall we have a chat?

Have a nice day,

Valentin

Purpose: Gently remind the prospect about the previous communication and reiterate the call to action.

Phase 5️⃣: Value-Added Email

Day 7:

  • Action: Send an email providing valuable content.

  • Subject Line: I have prospects for you

  • Email Body:

Hi {{firstName}}, prospecting is all about timing, and you might be busy during this period.

Feel free to download our extension and generate your first opportunities with ZELIQ, with 50 credits provided every month. Or, you might want to delegate this task to someone on your team.

Please let me know:

  • You're interested? Tell me when I should call you:

  • No

  • Contact: firstname@{{companyName}}.com?

(Keeping it simple)

Kind regards,

Valentin

Purpose: Continue to deliver value and keep the prospect engaged with useful information.

By implementing this multi-channel sequence, we saw some pretty impressive results:

  • Email Open Rate: 55%
