While cold email remains viable, LinkedIn offers significant advantages for professional service outreach:
- Higher Trust Environment: People expect professional conversations on LinkedIn
- Decision-Maker Verification: Active profiles confirm you're reaching the right person
- Multi-Touch Capability: Connection request + message + content engagement
- Pre-Conversation Relationship: Profile views and content engagement build familiarity
- Supplementary Intelligence: See mutual connections, career history, and content interests
Don’t believe me? Here’s the proof
I recently interviewed Alicia Dibrell, who earned $60,000 from one LinkedIn campaign.

Now that you know it works, let’s break down the LinkedIn Outreach Process:
Phase 1: Pre-Connection Preparation
Before sending connection requests:
- Optimize your profile as a resource, not a resume
- Create 2-3 pieces of relevant content that demonstrate expertise
- View target profiles to create awareness (they'll see the notification)
- Engage with their content if available (thoughtful comments, not just likes)
