Sales

Sales — ICP problem opener

Start a short Accept → value → ask path for ICP titles.

  1. Invite note (optional): Hi {{firstName}} — noticed you’re leading {{function}} at {{company}}. Curious how you’re tackling {{problem}} this quarter.
  2. Day 0 after accept: Thanks for connecting. We help teams like {{peerCompany}} cut time-to-first-meeting on LinkedIn without dumping passwords into a cloud bot. Open to a 2-line take on your current process?
  3. If no reply (+3 days): Totally fine if timing’s off. If useful, I can share the 3-step companion-first checklist we use with SDR managers — want it?
  4. If reply / interest: Great — what’s the best next step: a 15-min walkthrough of the companion workflow, or a short Loom for your stack?

Notes: Keep caps low week one. Branch on Accept/Reply in Lynkin campaigns.

Sales

Sales — trigger / news

Reference a real trigger; avoid spray-and-pray.

  1. Invite note: Congrats on {{trigger}} — curious how that changes outbound priorities for {{team}}.
  2. After accept: Saw {{trigger}}. Teams in similar moments often rebuild LinkedIn sequences with clearer reply ownership. Worth a quick compare of approaches?
  3. Follow-up: If not relevant, no worries. Happy to send one teardown of a companion-first sequence vs cloud bots.

Notes: Only use when the trigger is real. Fake personalization burns brand.

Recruiting

Recruiting — role-specific

Respect candidate time; clear role + why them.

  1. Invite note: Hi {{firstName}} — hiring a {{role}} for {{company}}. Your experience with {{skill}} stood out.
  2. After accept: We’re hiring {{role}} ({{location}} / {{remote}}). Impact: {{impact}}. If you’re curious, I can share the JD + interview loop in 3 bullets.
  3. If soft interest: Here’s the short version: {{threeBullets}}. Want an intro to the hiring manager?
  4. If no reply: Closing the loop — role still open. Happy to reconnect later if timing changes.

Notes: Assign inbox owners per req so candidates are not double-messaged.

Recruiting

Recruiting — passive talent

Low-pressure nurture for passive candidates.

  1. After accept: Not assuming you’re looking. Keeping a short list of {{roleFamily}} leaders for when the right brief appears — okay if I share rare fits sparingly?
  2. Nurture (+10 days): Sharing one brief that matched your {{skill}} background. No pressure — reply “pass” anytime.

Notes: Volume must stay human; warm-up + caps matter for recruiter brands.

Founders

Founder — peer founder

Peer-to-peer, not SDR energy.

  1. Invite note: Building {{productCategory}} too — liked your note on {{topic}}. Would enjoy connecting.
  2. After accept: Curious how you’re running LinkedIn without burning the founder account. We’ve gone companion-first (live tab, no password-to-cloud). What’s working for you?
  3. Soft CTA: If useful, I can share our 4-week warm-up planner — free, no pitch deck required.

Notes: Protect personal brand: short sequences, fast human replies.

Founders

Founder — early customer

Founder-led discovery conversations.

  1. After accept: I’m {{name}}, founder of Lynkin — companion-first LinkedIn automation. Talking to {{persona}} about where cloud bots fail security reviews. Open to a 10-min chat this week?
  2. Follow-up: Totally get the calendar crush. Happy to send 5 bullets on companion vs cloud instead of a call.

Notes: One seat, one voice. Don’t share founder login across tools.

Sales

Sales — polite breakup

Exit silently ignored threads cleanly.

  1. Breakup: I’ll close the loop here so I don’t clutter your inbox. If LinkedIn outbound becomes a priority later, I’m around.

Notes: Use Reply branch exits so cold threads stop auto-messaging.

Sales

Agency — client seat kickoff

First campaign copy for a new client seat.

  1. After accept: Thanks for connecting — helping {{clientBrand}} reach {{icp}}. Quick question: how are you evaluating tools in this space right now?
  2. Value drop: Sharing one framework we use: architecture first (cloud vs companion), then sequences, then inbox SLAs. Want the one-pager?

Notes: Document companion-first security in the client proposal before volume.

How to use these templates

Copy is a starting point — rewrite with real ICP language. In Lynkin, map steps to Accept/Reply branches so interested prospects get a different path than silent connections.

Keep warm-up and daily caps on. Templates do not override LinkedIn rules or poor targeting.

Companion-first execution

Lynkin runs sends on your live LinkedIn tab via the Chrome companion. Pair once, enroll a small list, and triage replies in inbox CRM the same day.

See /features/campaigns and /features/inbox-crm.

Measure the right outcomes

Track accept rate, reply rate, and meetings — not invites sent. If accepts fall while invites rise, lower caps before rewriting every template.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paste these into Lynkin campaigns?

Yes. Create campaign steps that match invite → wait for accept → message → branch on reply. Personalize tokens before enrolling large lists.

Are these ToS-safe?

No template makes automation compliant or risk-free. Use conservative caps, honest copy, and pause on warnings.

Do you have email templates too?

Lynkin is LinkedIn-first. Keep email in a dedicated sequencer if you need multichannel.
