LinkedIn prospecting

A first line worth sending, for every prospect

Your AI opens each one in your own logged-in LinkedIn, reads what they’re actually working on, and hands you the opener. You send it yourself. It never sends anything for you.

Research each prospect and draft an opener tied to a real problem

Use Actionbook to prospect for me on LinkedIn. Find 5 VPs of Engineering at Series B startups, open each profile in my logged-in session, and read their recent activity. For each, draft a short opener in my voice that speaks to a problem they’re actually dealing with — don’t send or connect, just write the copy. Give me a table of who you found and the problem it ties to, and put the drafts in openers.csv for me to review and send myself.

Short answer: five openers, four tied to a real problem, one flagged. Each real one starts from something the prospect actually posted and ties it to a problem worth a reply, drafted in your voice, not “I saw your post” flattery a buyer deletes in two seconds. The one with no recent activity is flagged rather than faked. Actionbook stops here, at the draft in openers.csv. You send each one yourself, your way, which is what keeps it personal and your account in the clear.

An opener that sounds like you did the work, because it did.

Your AI reads each prospect in your own logged-in LinkedIn, ties a real observation to a problem, and drafts in your voice. You send it yourself, your way.

Writes “I saw your post” flattery buyers delete in two seconds.

Ties what they actually posted to a problem worth a reply.

Sounds like every other AI email, so it reads as spam.

Drafts in your voice, learned from how you actually write.

Leaves you digging through profiles to find the angle yourself.

Reads the activity in your own logged-in LinkedIn and hands you the draft. You send it, your way.

Research anyone on LinkedIn.
Open like you mean it.

Same job, sharper angles. Each reads your own logged-in LinkedIn and hands back a draft — you stay in charge of every send.

01One prospect

Open one prospect on a real problem

Use Actionbook to open [prospect]’s profile in my logged-in LinkedIn, read their recent posts and activity, and find the one problem they seem to be wrestling with. Draft a short opener in my voice that speaks to that problem, and show me the observation it’s built on so I can tweak it and send it myself.

02Warm path

Open on a warm angle, not a cold line

Use Actionbook to research [prospect] in my logged-in LinkedIn for any warm path: a shared connection, a former colleague, the same school or community, or common ground in what we both post about. Tell me the warmest angle you found and draft an opener that leans on it, so it lands as “we’re connected” rather than cold.

03In your voice

Make it sound like you, not AI

Use Actionbook to read a few of my own recent LinkedIn messages and posts to learn how I actually write, then draft an opener for [prospect] in that voice. Keep my phrasing and length, skip the AI tells, and show me both the draft and the prospect detail it’s built on.
