LinkedIn and email sequence
LinkedIn warms; email asks. Running them together means your emails land on someone who already recognizes you.
Engage with content, not just outreach, to build familiarity.

The LinkedIn-and-email sequence
Warm on social, ask by email.
- Day 1: Email 1 + LinkedIn connection request (matching hook).
- Day 2: Engage with their recent post (genuine comment).
- Day 4: Email 2 (new angle).
- Day 6: LinkedIn message if connected (no pitch, a question).
- Day 9: Email 3 (proof point).
- Day 12: LinkedIn value-add (share a relevant resource).
- Day 15: Break-up email.

Frequently asked questions
How do I combine LinkedIn and email outreach?
Warm the prospect on LinkedIn with a connection, genuine content engagement, and pitch-free messages, while emailing in parallel with the ask. Each channel makes the other more effective, since your emails land on someone who recognizes you.
Should I connect on LinkedIn before or after emailing?
Around the same time works well: send the connection request as you send the first email so the hooks match and familiarity builds. Engaging with their content between touches further warms the relationship.
How do I keep LinkedIn touches from feeling salesy?
Lead with genuine engagement and questions, not pitches. Comment thoughtfully on their posts, share useful resources, and reserve the ask for email or a warm, well-timed message once rapport exists.
