    Step 01

    Channel selection.

    Questions to ask

    • →Are we testing all channels side by side with equal effort?
    • →Do we have a specialist owning each channel (LinkedIn, email, phone)?
    • →Which channel had the highest reply-to-connect rate last sprint?
    • →Which one generated qualified meetings, not just replies?
    • →Are we getting seen by our ICP — or shouting into the void?

    Decision flow

    Did we test all channels properly?

    No
    Run 3-week sprints per channel with a dedicated specialist.
    Yes
    Double down on the channel with the highest connect × conversion ratio.
    Channel is not a preference. It's a math problem.
    Step 02

    Campaign structure.

    Questions to ask

    • →What's the main hypothesis of this campaign?
    • →Are these leads grouped by a trigger or just a static list?
    • →How many different campaigns are running this month?
    • →What will make this message feel specific to them?

    Decision flow

    Are you running a campaign — or just a list?

    List
    Re-group leads based on a trigger or event before sending.
    Campaign
    Proceed to warm / cold segmentation.
    Outbound isn't about leads. It's about triggers.
    Step 03

    Prioritize warm triggers.

    Warm campaigns

    Website VisitorsFollowing Company on LinkedInChecked out your profileEngaged with contentReferralsClosed-lost opps1st degree connectionsPaid MQLsIntent Data (6sense, Clearbit, etc.)

    Questions to ask

    • →Are these leads showing intent or just ICP-matched?
    • →Did they do something that shows interest?
    • →Are we reaching out fast enough to warm leads?
    • →Do we have automation to detect and flag warm signals?

    Decision flow

    Is this lead warm (intent / engagement / referral)?

    No
    Route to cold campaigns.
    Yes
    Prioritize with a fast, short, relevant message.
    Warm leads are your pipeline's lowest hanging fruit.
    Step 04

    Cold campaign design.

    Cold campaigns

    Recently FundedChanged JobsJoined a LinkedIn GroupSearched for specific keywordsLooks like a current customerHiring for a related roleUse-case aligned with your productICP-based: industry, role, geo, headcount

    Questions to ask

    • →What's the cold trigger? Why now?
    • →Does this campaign mirror a play that worked before?
    • →Can we reference their activity, org change, or hiring status?
    • →Do we have messaging for this segment — not just a default email?

    Decision flow

    Generic ICP list or trigger-driven cold campaign?

    Generic
    Rebuild into trigger-based micro-campaigns.
    Triggered
    Proceed with high-relevance messaging.
    Cold campaigns aren't about scale. They're about signal.
    Step 05

    Value layer (lead magnets).

    Questions to ask

    • →What asset or invite can warm this lead up?
    • →Is marketing producing content the outbound team can use?
    • →Are reps enabled to share these easily in email, DM, or call?

    Decision flow

    Does this campaign include a lead magnet or reason to reach out?

    No
    Add a relevant, light-touch asset or hook.
    Yes
    Embed it in the first 1–2 messages.
    Even cold prospects respond when you lead with value.
    Step 06

    System & feedback loop.

    Questions to ask

    • →Are we reviewing outbound performance weekly?
    • →Do we track campaign-level metrics (not just activity)?
    • →What campaign drove the highest response last sprint?
    • →Are we retiring poor campaigns or recycling them?

    Decision flow

    Are we running experiments and analyzing results?

    No
    Create a weekly review cadence (channel × campaign × trigger).
    Yes
    Scale what works. Kill what doesn't.
    Outbound becomes predictable when it becomes testable.

    The full loop

    Six questions, every week.

    01What's the highest-converting channel?
    02What warm signals exist? (Start here)
    03What smart cold triggers are available?
    04What campaigns match our ICP and intent?
    05What magnet or hook increases response?
    06Are we tracking this weekly + iterating?
