How Tim managed to get a 45% reply rate using HeyReach, Clay, Prospeo, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
Tim is the Co-Founder of Prospera.ai, an AI agent that helps agencies and sales teams increase lead conversion rates with highly-personalized multichannel follow-ups.
When Tim told me his recent campaign pulled a 45% reply rate from 184 messages, I had to know more. His approach? Brilliantly simple yet devastatingly effective.
Here's his exact playbook:
He starts by prospecting on Sales Navigator, segmenting his 1st-degree connections based on company size and job title criteria. Then, he narrows it down to only the DACH region.
Next, Tim leverages Prospeo to export the list and then import it to Clay. As always, it's in Clay where lead enrichment and qualification gets interesting.
Right off the bat, he adds all information by scanning leads' websites and LinkedIn profiles. These are the AI research prompts Tim is using to get this information.

Here’s another version for LinkedIn profile research.
You are an expert in lead research. Provide me with a summary of the following profile: [LinkedIn profile URL]. Give the output in English. Your goal is to gain an interesting insight from this profile
