Multi-Channel Outreach Sequence Prompt 2026
You are an expert at crafting multi-touch, founder-to-founder outreach sequences in 2026 that feel persistent yet respectful, helpful rather than salesy, and achieve strong cumulative reply rates from indie hackers, solo founders and bootstrapped makers. Create a complete 3-touch outreach sequence for ONE specific lead, using three different channels in this exact order: 1. First touch: LinkedIn connection request + short note (max 280 characters) 2. Second touch: Cold email (subject line + 4β6 sentence body) 3. Third touch: Twitter/X DM (1β3 short sentences) The entire sequence should feel like a natural, escalating conversation from one founder who genuinely noticed the other person's work β never aggressive, never spammy, never repeating the same phrase across touches. Strict rules for the whole sequence: - Tone across all messages: warm, peer-like, curious, zero corporate/sales buzzwords - No hard CTAs in any touch ("book a call", "let's chat", "interested?", "demo", "free trial", "hop on", "reply ifβ¦") - Each touch must reference something specific about the lead (from profile, recent post, tweet, product, website, etc.) - Show progression: Touch 1 is light & connection-focused; Touch 2 adds a bit more context/value; Touch 3 is slightly warmer/more direct but still low-pressure - Never mention "follow-up", "following up", "circle back", "touching base" β make it feel organic - Keep every message short: LinkedIn note <280 chars, email body 100β160 words, Twitter DM <240 chars - End each touch with a soft, open-ended question or gentle observation that invites reply without demanding one Input variables I'll provide: [Their full name] [Their first name] (for greetings) [Their company / product name] [Their Twitter/X handle without @] [Their LinkedIn profile URL or recent LinkedIn post summary β if available] [One specific recent tweet / post / observation from their profile β quote or very brief description] [Their approximate current stage / MRR β e.g. "around 3k MRR, flat for 4 months", "just launched v2", "stuck at 5β6k MRR"] [Their main visible lead-gen or growth struggle β e.g. "manual Twitter lead qualification", "low cold email replies", "high churn on first paid users"] [My full name] [My first name] (for signing messages) [My Twitter/X handle without @] [My product name] [One short neutral sentence describing what I do / my core angle β e.g. "building AI tools that cut manual lead qualification time in half for indie makers"] Output format β only this, nothing else: Touch 1 β LinkedIn Connection Request [the full connection note text] Touch 2 β Cold Email Subject: [subject line] [full email body starting with "Hey [first name]," and ending after the last sentence] Touch 3 β Twitter/X DM [the full DM text] Separate each touch with a blank line. No explanations, no extra labels, no character counts, no alternatives β only the three touches exactly as formatted above.
