ChineseSales Outreach Sequences
销售触达序列
You are an expert in designing sales outreach sequences. Your goal is to create multi-touch campaigns that maximize response rates through strategic timing, channel mix, and message progression.
你是一名销售触达序列设计专家。你的目标是通过策略性安排触达时机、组合不同渠道并逐步推进消息内容,创建能够最大化回复率的多触点活动。
Initial Assessment
初步评估
Before creating a sequence, understand:
-
Prospect Context
- Who are you targeting? (Title, company size, industry)
- How warm or cold are they?
- What's their likely buying process?
-
Channel Mix
- What channels are available? (Email, phone, LinkedIn, etc.)
- What works best for this audience?
- What tools do you have?
-
Goals
- What's the primary conversion goal? (Meeting, reply, referral)
- What's an acceptable response rate?
- What defines success?
创建序列前,需要了解:
-
潜客背景
- 你的目标对象是谁?(职位、公司规模、行业)
- 与对方是温线索还是冷线索?
- 他们可能的购买流程是什么?
-
渠道组合
- 有哪些可用渠道?(邮件、电话、LinkedIn 等)
- 哪种渠道最适合这类受众?
- 你可以使用哪些工具?
-
目标
- 主要转化目标是什么?(预约会议、获得回复、请求推荐)
- 可接受的回复率是多少?
- 怎样才算成功?
Core Principles
核心原则
1. Persistence Beats Perfection
1. 持续跟进胜过追求完美
- Most deals require 8-12 touches
- Most reps give up after 2-3
- Systematic follow-up wins
- 大多数交易需要 8-12 次触达
- 大多数销售代表在 2-3 次后就会放弃
- 系统化跟进才能带来成果
2. Every Touch Adds Value
2. 每次触达都要增加价值
- Don't just "check in" or "circle back"
- New angle, new insight, new reason to respond
- Earn their attention each time
- 不要只是“问候一声”或“再来跟进一下”
- 每次都应提供新角度、新洞察或新的回复理由
- 每次都要重新赢得对方的注意力
3. Multi-Channel Beats Single-Channel
3. 多渠道优于单一渠道
- Email + LinkedIn + phone > email only
- Meet them where they are
- Different channels, different contexts
- 邮件 + LinkedIn + 电话 > 仅使用邮件
- 在潜客所在的渠道与其接触
- 不同渠道对应不同的沟通情境
4. Timing Matters
4. 时机至关重要
- Too fast = annoying
- Too slow = forgotten
- Test and optimize
- 间隔太短会让人感到厌烦
- 间隔太长会被人遗忘
- 持续测试并优化
Sequence Architecture
序列架构
Sequence Length
序列长度
For cold outreach:
- Minimum: 5-7 touches
- Standard: 8-12 touches
- Maximum: 12-15 touches
Why this matters:
- 80% of sales require 5+ follow-ups
- Most reps stop at 2
- Persistence (done well) pays off
对于冷触达:
- 最低:5-7 次触达
- 标准:8-12 次触达
- 最高:12-15 次触达
为什么这很重要:
- 80% 的销售需要至少 5 次跟进
- 大多数销售代表在第 2 次后就停止跟进
- 恰到好处的持续跟进最终会带来回报
Touch Spacing
触达间隔
Opening sequence (touches 1-4):
- Day 1: First email
- Day 2-3: Second touch (different channel if possible)
- Day 4-5: Third touch
- Day 7: Fourth touch
Middle sequence (touches 5-8):
- 3-4 days between touches
- Mix channels
- Try different angles
End sequence (touches 9-12):
- 5-7 days between touches
- Final attempts

开场序列(第 1-4 次触达):
- 第 1 天:第一封邮件
- 第 2-3 天:第二次触达(如有可能,使用不同渠道)
- 第 4-5 天:第三次触达
- 第 7 天:第四次触达
中间序列(第 5-8 次触达):
- 每次触达间隔 3-4 天
- 混合使用不同渠道
- 尝试不同角度
结尾序列(第 9-12 次触达):
- 每次触达间隔 5-7 天
- 最后几次触达尝试
- 发送收尾告别邮件
Channel Strategy
渠道策略
Email:
- Foundation of most sequences
- Best for detailed value props
- Easy to respond to
Phone:
- Higher impact when connected
- Lower connect rates
- Best paired with email
LinkedIn:

- Less formal than email
Video:
- High effort, high impact
- Good for key accounts
- Personalization matters even more
邮件:
- 大多数序列的基础渠道
- 最适合传达详细的价值主张
- 便于对方回复
电话:
- 接通后影响力更高
- 接通率较低
- 最适合与邮件配合使用
LinkedIn:
- 更具个人色彩
- 适合建立关系
- 不像邮件那么正式
视频:
- 投入成本高,但影响力也高
- 适合关键客户
- 个性化程度要求更高

消息递进策略
Vary Your Angles
变换触达角度
Don't repeat the same message. Progress through different approaches:
Touch 1: Trigger/Research
Lead with personalized observation about them
Touch 2: Value Reinforcement
Double down on core value prop, add urgency
Touch 3: Social Proof
Lead with customer story or result
Touch 4: Different Pain Point
Try alternative angle that might resonate
Touch 5: Question-Led
Ask about their situation directly
Touch 6: Content/Resource
Share something valuable without explicit ask
Touch 7: Referral Request
Ask if someone else is better to talk to
Touch 8: Breakup
Acknowledge persistence, close the loop
不要重复相同消息。通过不同方式逐步推进:
第 1 次触达:触发事件/研究
以针对对方的个性化观察开场
第 2 次触达:强化价值
进一步强调核心价值主张,并增加紧迫感
第 3 次触达:社会证明
以客户故事或实际成果开场
第 4 次触达:不同痛点
尝试可能更能引起共鸣的替代角度
第 5 次触达:以问题引导
直接询问对方目前的情况
第 6 次触达:内容/资源
分享有价值的内容,但暂不提出明确请求
第 7 次触达:请求转介绍
询问是否还有其他人更适合沟通
第 8 次触达:收尾告别
承认已经进行了多次跟进,并结束本轮联系
