Pre-launch best practices for multichannel outreach
Neglecting pre-launch best practices for multichannel outreach can have detrimental effects on campaign success. Without clear objectives, understanding of the target audience, and relevant channel selection, communication efforts may lack direction and fail to resonate with the intended audience.
Poorly crafted messaging and content, coupled with inadequate segmentation and testing, can result in low engagement and response rates, wasting valuable resources and missing opportunities for lead generation and conversion.
Omnichannel Sequence
This is when you add multiple channels in one single sequence. Here are points to keep in mind
- Email limits and LinkedIn limits vary and hence your sending could get throttled when email daily limits are higher. Do not send more than 60 to 70 emails per sending email ID.
- Connection requests arent accepted immediately or many a time rejected. This affects you next scheduled task. Try using a drip or a workflow
- Prepare a content library: Have articles, blog posts, or other resources ready to share as valuable offerings in your messages.
- Embrace video outreach: Consider sending personalized video messages that grab attention and build rapport faster than text alone.
When using email as part of your multi channel outreach campaign, follow key best practices:
- Use different domains to diversify sender reputation,
- Implement inbox rotation to evenly distribute & send emails
- For new email domains, gradually increase sending volumes
- Maintain consistent sending volumes for improved deliverability.
- Keep your emails on constant warmup
These practices help enhance email deliverability rates and ensure your messages reach recipients effectively.

When using LinkedIn as part of your multi channel outreach campaign, it’s crucial to understand and adhere to platform limits regarding connection requests, InMail messages, and daily activity caps.
Take a LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator subscription to avoid having limits per day.
Monitor messages and notifications actively to maintain timely responses and build meaningful connections. By following these best practices, you can effectively leverage LinkedIn as a channel in your outreach efforts.
Calls
Make sure to strategically incorporate calling into your multi channel campaign, ensuring a smooth experience for prospects while balancing it with other communication channels.
Develop a strong script; have a clear opening, value proposition, call to action, and answers to common objections ready.
Practice your script to deliver it naturally and confidently. Warm up your voice and diction. Practice vocal exercises, record yourself calling, and get feedback to refine your delivery.
Use a call tracking tool to M\monitor call stats, record calls for training purposes, and identify areas for improvement.
Always respect opt-out requests by giving recipients an easy way to opt out of future calls and promptly honoring their requests. Additionally, to prevent burnout among your sales representatives, set realistic call goals, and prioritize quality interactions over the sheer volume of calls made.
Final thoughts
To launch a winning multi-channel campaign, first understand your audience’s preferences and pick the platforms they use.
Craft personalized messages on each channel, using tools to automate tasks and map out your outreach sequence, including emails, LinkedIn, and calls.
