Five steps, in order: diagnose, strategy, proof, message, launch plan. Each one feeds the next. By the end, the message rests on a buyer you understand and proof you can show, and a gate tells you whether to send at all.
The recommended starting point.
Diagnose where your outbound engine breaks before using the tools.
Who to target, why they care now, how to reach them.
Build the buyer situation, ICP, trigger map, channel logic, and list spec.
Recognition, proof, and credibility before the ask.
Audit founder recognition, LinkedIn presence, relevant first-degree reach, proof assets, and outbound proof lines.
Messages that match buyer situation and trust level.
Create pain-led, trust-aware LinkedIn and email sequences based on buyer situation, proof, and CTA fit.
Go/no-go gate, test plan, and final launch decision.
Create the readiness gate, 200-account test plan, sales conversation plan, feedback loop, and final launch decision.
Standalone tools solve one piece. The Launch Pack connects everything into one complete pre-campaign outbound plan.
