How I helped a client book 62 sales calls in 30 days with AI-powered LinkedIn outreach
Combining AI and automation is a game-changer for LinkedIn outreach.
Here’s the 3-step process we used:
(If you prefer video to text click here)
1️⃣ Extract lead data
Use tools like Tex Au to scrape targeted LinkedIn profiles from Sales Navigator lists. Pull key info like name, job title, and company.
Let’s break this down:
- Start by creating a targeted list in Sales Navigator based on your ideal customer profile.
- Use Tex Au's “Extract saved lead list from Sales Navigator” feature.
- Set up a “recipe” in Tex Au with three “spices” (steps):
a) Extract URLs from your saved list
b) Scrape data from each profile
c) Send the scraped data via webhook
Here’s what it looks like in Tex Au:
This process allows you to gather rich data on hundreds of leads automatically, saving hours of manual work.
2️⃣ Generate personalized messages
Feed profile data into ChatGPT to create custom outreach scripts. Tailor messaging to each lead’s specific background and pain points.
Here’s how we do this:
- Use a tool like Make (formerly Integromat) to receive the webhook from Tex Au.
- Set up a ChatGPT prompt that uses the lead’s data to create a personalized message.
For example, our prompt looks like this:
“I help other businesses automate their processes through automation and AI. Create a perfect LinkedIn outreach message for my service tailored to the profile details below: [Insert lead data here]”
This is what it looks like in Make:
This step ensures each message feels personal and relevant, increasing your chances of getting a response.
3️⃣ Automate sending
Use webhooks to trigger personalized message sending through LinkedIn, scaling your outreach while maintaining a personal touch.
Here’s the final step:
- Create another recipe in Tex Au with a “Send LinkedIn message” spice.
- Connect this to your Make scenario using a webhook.
- The personalized message from ChatGPT is sent automatically to each lead.
Here's what that looks like:
This approach allows you to:
✅ Reach more leads faster
✅ Craft highly relevant messages
✅ Maintain quality at scale
One client used this exact framework to book 62 qualified sales calls in just 30 days. Here’s a breakdown of their results:
- Week 1: 12 calls booked
- Week 2: 15 calls booked
- Week 3: 18 calls booked
- Week 4: 17 calls booked
The key is combining automation’s efficiency with AI’s personalization power.
Don’t just automate. Don’t just use AI. Combine both for truly powerful systems.
This approach isn’t just about sending more messages. It’s about sending smarter, more targeted messages that resonate with your leads.
By using AI to analyze each lead’s profile and craft a personalized message, you’re dramatically increasing your chances of starting a meaningful conversation.
