# Combine LinkedIn and email for better outreach

> Showing up in two places makes your name familiar, and familiar senders get more replies.

## Why combine channels

People don't live in one inbox. A connection request followed by a relevant email (or the other way round) feels less like a cold approach — your name has already appeared once.

## Who this works for

Multichannel outreach shines for B2B audiences who use LinkedIn: agency founders, SaaS founders, professional services, consultants. Many local trades rarely check LinkedIn; for them, email plus phone works better.

## Getting LinkedIn profiles

GetClient collects LinkedIn links where they are public: on Google Maps leads (from websites), TrustMRR founders and Skool members.

## A straightforward sequence

1. **Day 1:** view their profile; follow or connect without a note (or with a short, non-salesy one).
2. **Day 2:** send your email with a specific observation and offer.
3. **Day 5:** engage with one of their posts — a genuine comment.
4. **Day 6:** short email follow-up.
5. **Day 10:** if connected, a brief LinkedIn message referencing the email.

## Keep messages different

Don't paste the same pitch everywhere. LinkedIn messages should be shorter and more conversational; email can carry the detail.

## Respect limits

LinkedIn limits connection requests and messages and dislikes automation. Do it manually or carefully, and keep volume reasonable.

## Track it in one place

Record touches per lead in your CRM so you don't double-message someone who already replied on the other channel.

## Example messages

**Connection note (optional):**

> Hi Priya — I work with small SaaS teams on comparison content. Enjoyed your launch post. Would be good to connect.

**Email (day 2):**

> Hi Priya — tried Notely after your launch; the quick-capture flow is great. We write "X vs Y" comparison pages for new SaaS tools, which often start ranking within weeks. Want an example for Notely?

**LinkedIn message (day 10, if connected):**

> Thanks for connecting, Priya. Sent you a short email last week about comparison pages for Notely — happy to share the example here if easier.

## Frequently asked questions

### Should I connect before or after emailing?

Either works. Many people view the profile or connect first so their name is familiar when the email arrives.

### Where do LinkedIn profiles in my list come from?

From public sources such as business websites and profile links. GetClient includes them where they are published.
