Campaign List Size

Moving to smaller, targeted lists eliminated waste and allowed for much tighter messaging control.

The Challenge: Before SalesRobot

Jeff aimed to connect with podcast hosts and wellness content creators who could gain from operating their own branded telehealth clinics, yet needed to avoid appearing too sales-focused in a saturated industry.

The "Bigger is Better" Fallacy

One of my major mistakes is thinking I need a bigger list or an extensive campaign to get results from the effort.

Set It and Forget It Mentality

I thought I could get 1,000-1,500 in my list and walk away. That created significant waste and back and forth.

Starting with Generic Pitches

i liken LinkedIn sales to approaching a random person—if you start with a pitch, you won’t make any progress.

Competitor Noise

In a crowded wellness market, standard text-only messages were easily ignored by busy content creators and podcasters.

The Solution:

Collaborative Outreach with SalesRobot

Jeff aimed to connect with podcast hosts and wellness content creators who could gain from operating their own branded telehealth clinics, yet needed to avoid appearing too sales-focused in a saturated industry.

Key Tactics Used:

1

Start with Follow, Not Connection Request

Campaign Structure:
  • Step 1: Follow the person
  • Step 2: Connection request (once they see your name)

Strategy: "Starting with the following gives them a chance to engage with you first. It puts your name in front of them before the connection request."
