Most people pitch the moment they connect. They send a note. Get silence. Send a follow-up. Get silence. Decide LinkedIn outreach does not work. Move on. The outreach did not fail. The sequence did. I ran three campaigns for NettaWorks. They did not all look the same because they were not trying to do the same thing. The first targeted Notre Dame alums and founders in our target verticals. The opening message did not mention what we do. It asked if they are open to exchanging notes. That was it. The goal was intel and relationship. I am not closing anyone on the first message in this group. The second targeted companies actively hiring for roles that overlap with what NettaWorks offers. That is a different conversation. They had already signalled a need. The pitch was direct. We built the thing they are trying to build internally. That message earns its directness because the intent is already there. The third is not mine. An attorney contact runs outreach from his own LinkedIn targeting law firms that need SEO. He gets 10% recurring. I do not touch the account. He has the credibility in that space that I do not, and the relationship with law firms starts warmer because of it. Three campaigns, three different levels of intent, three different opening postures. The underlying logic: the further someone is from buying, the more you need to earn the right to a real conversation. Segmenting by intent instead of industry changes what your first message has to do. First week running all three at once: three meetings booked. CTO of one company. CEO and COO of another.
