Context

What to Research

Person intel (Apollo + LinkedIn):

  • Current role and tenure
  • Career history and background
  • Recent LinkedIn posts and activity
  • Shared connections
  • Education and interests

From LinkedIn posts:

  • What topics do they post about?
  • What have they liked or commented on?
  • Any recent announcements or wins?

Research Strategy

  1. Search for the person to find their LinkedIn profile URL
  2. Use LinkedIn URL with Apollo to enrich and get full profile data
  3. Get LinkedIn profile with recent posts and activity
  4. Look for hooks: new role, recent content, shared background

What Counts as a Valid Result

  • Focus on posts from the last 3 months (relevant and recent)
  • Note if they're active vs. passive on LinkedIn
  • Look for opinions, not just reshares

Output

Quick Bio: Role, tenure, career path in 2-3 sentences.

What They Care About: Based on their posts, what topics are they passionate about?

Talking Points:

  • Something from their background you can reference
  • A recent post or topic you can mention
  • A mutual connection or shared experience if any

Suggested Opener: One personalized sentence for your outreach.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
