That's too bad, but maybe we'll have a chance to exchange ideas later.
If I can be of any other help, feel free to reach out to me.

Key observations:
- Bridger focused on people actively looking for jobs, which made them more likely to respond. This smart choice led to a high acceptance rate of 52.30%, demonstrating the effectiveness of tailoring outreach to prospects’ current status on LinkedIn. It used multiple LinkedIn accounts to send messages at scale and reach more prospects, but by following the platform’s rules and never getting flagged.
- The campaign’s messages were straightforward, starting with an invitation to explore a job position. This clear and direct method resulted in a 49.30% reply rate, showing prospects were interested. The very nature of this campaign allowed such a straightforward approach.
- Bridger was making the receiver feel valued. By addressing prospects by name and inviting them to discuss their potential role in detail, the campaign fostered a sense of personal connection and trust, evidenced by 30 interested candidates and 8 final introductions to the client.
How to replicate:
- Start by targeting LinkedIn users who have indicated they are open to new opportunities. This group is already in the mindset to engage, increasing your chances of getting a response.
- Your LinkedIn cold outreach message should be direct and to the point. Introduce the opportunity clearly in your first follow-up message. Transparency shows that you respect the prospect's time and directly align with their interests.
- Use the recipient's name and reference specific details relevant to them or the opportunity. The personal touch makes a big difference in response rates.
- Once you've established contact, keep the conversation focused on how the opportunity fits their needs and experiences. Encourage prospects to share their criteria for a new role and use this as a springboard for deeper engagement.
- Not everyone will respond immediately. Send a couple of follow-up messages spaced out over time.
- Use a LinkedIn outreach tool that allows you to move fast → Bridger uses HeyReach to import leads from different sources quickly and build smart automated sequences with different actions (LinkedIn invites, profile views, post likes, and messages)

Key observations:
- Ghostify's use of the "Posted on LinkedIn" filter to identify active, UK-based Directors was a strategic move that paid off. Precise targeting led to meaningful engagements, as evidenced by the campaign's 37.20% acceptance and 25.80% reply rates.
- The campaign’s central offer of a free 1:1 discovery call directly addressed the needs and challenges of the target audience. A clear value proposition interested 47 people, resulting in 12 meeting confirmations and 4 booked meetings. It’s interesting and risk-free.
- The templates Ghostify used resonate on a personal level, asking engaging questions about achieving mindset mastery. This approach fostered a conversational tone, making the LinkedIn cold outreach strategy feel more like a personal invitation than a cold pitch.
How to replicate:
- Narrow down your audience using LinkedIn’s Advanced Filters so your message reaches the most relevant prospects.
- Make your value proposition clear from the start. Offer immediate value, like a free consultation or discovery call, to increase the chances of getting a positive response.
- Use templates but tailor your messages to address the specific interests and needs of your audience. Questions that provoke thought or touch on common challenges can create a more engaging and memorable outreach.
- Plan a sequence of follow-up messages that build on the initial conversation. Each message should offer additional insights or value and encourage continued engagement without being pushy.
- Use a LinkedIn outreach software that helps you scale → Ghostify used HeyReach to run campaigns with multiple senders, auto-rotating them to scale campaigns and reach more people without getting their accounts restricted. They were also able to respond on behalf of other people without logging in and out all the time, using tags, filters, and reminders to keep ops clean and ensure no prospect goes unnoticed.
- Monitor the performance of your outreach. Use insights from your campaigns to refine your targeting, messaging, and overall strategy for future LinkedIn outreach.

Follow-up message:
Hello {FIRST_NAME},
How are you? I don't know if you had time to look at my previous message. If you have set up your outbound campaigns on Linkedin, you should like this :) I am taking advantage of this relaunch to talk to you about Mirrorprofiles and MirrorChat.

- Introduce solutions like LinkedIn account rentals early in your outreach to capture interest and address pain points.
- Tailor your messages to reflect the recipient's recent activities or interests. This strategy will increase engagement rates and build rapport.
- Don’t just follow up for the sake of it. Use each opportunity to provide more value and information about how your solution can solve prospects' specific problems.
