Running outreach from 12 of our own employee profiles right now, LinkedIn is by far our best channel for our segment, signal sourcing is dialed in. Looking to scale beyond what our own headcount can support.

Been looking into profile rental / buying access to profiles from individuals, but everything I read says rented profiles get burned in ~2 weeks, and there's a decent chance of just getting scammed by whoever's "renting" them out.

Plan would be to connect additional accounts to HeyReach, warm them up, and possibly move to Premium once they've built up some trust/activity history.

No self-promo please, just what's actually worked (or blown up) for you, and you'd personally recommend.

Hey guys, what the title says. Written hundreds of cold DMs, sequences, nurturing campaigns...

Pivoted to a new product recently (+ new ICP) and I am having a creative burnout amongst all the research I am running on the new market. Never really had a "source" where I could just come for inspiration, and pretty much all the copies that landed conversions were tailored in my head.

The scope of my responsibilities has changed and gluing ideas into copies is one of those things I have to streamline.

Where do you seek inspiration? Are there any communities / creators that you would recommend? Although I hardly expect people to share the copies that work, maybe, just maybe I am missing the sauce.

LI DMs + Email sequences is what I am looking for to be exact :)

PS: AI is out of the equation for me, never helped :p

We sell an OpenClaw based coworkers for e-com (Shopify store owners, DTC brands). Starts at $50/month, you basically pay for credits, it's tailored for e-com ops, connects to your store, works just like a real hire. Solid product, good demo-to-close when people actually show up to calls.

Problem is getting them there.

What we've run recently:

Campaign 1 = Apollo → Instantly. E-com decision makers. 19k sent. 53% open, 0.83% reply. Almost all replies are auto-responders or "not interested."

Campaign 2 = Same flow, different Apollo filters, excluded companies from run 1. 4k sent. 0.41% reply. Same story.

Campaign 3 = Slack community outreach. Shopify brands from a shared Slack community. "I'm in the same community" angle. 5k sent. 83% open rate, most positive reactions and conversations but 0 conversions. People engage, nobody buys.

Campaign 4 = Signal-based, targeting companies hiring for e-com roles. "$6K/yr AI vs $75K/yr hire" / "companion for your new hire" hook. 500 sent. 30% open, 0.69% reply. All automatic.

Other partners / cold campaigns with around 100K sends, reply rates <1%

We do multi-touch on 2+ mail opens most human replies come through LinkedIn, not email. Running A/B on copy but results are flat across variants.

My gut says it's the lead list... I'm only using company search in Apollo (Shopify/Shopify Plus, 1-50 employees, US/UK/CA/AU/NL, D2C + e-commerce segments, excluding irrelevant industries) and feeding contacts straight into Instantly sequences. No enrichment, no intent signals beyond Apollo's scoring.

I've burned through email domains, Apollo credits, Instantly plans, and 150k+ emails with nothing to show for it.

What would you change? Is it the list? The channel? The offer? The enrichment? Something else entirely?
