Family Office Personal Assistants Prospecting: The LinkedIn Outreach Playbook (2026)
If you’ve already built a list of Family Office Personal Assistants and want to turn those names into conversations, Origami makes it straightforward. Origami’s built-in LinkedIn sequencer lets you send connection requests and follow-ups automatically, right from the same platform where you built and enriched the list—no exporting CSVs, no separate tools. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the exact 3-touch campaign I use for FOPAs, including the copy you can steal.
This post assumes you already have a prospect list. If you’re still building one, check out our detailed guide on how to build a list of Family Office Personal Assistants Prospecting. Then come back here for the outreach sequence. For those starting from scratch, I’ll quickly recap the list-building step inside Origami.
Step 1: Build Your FOPA List in Origami (Quick Recap)
Even if you already have a list, it’s worth seeing how the platform can generate one from a single prompt. Here’s the exact prompt I’d type into Origami:
"I need a list of Personal Assistants working at single-family offices in the United States with assets over $50M. Include their full names, verified email addresses, phone numbers, and LinkedIn profiles. Focus on PAs who have been in role for at least 2 years and are responsible for scheduling meetings with vendors."
Origami’s AI agent then searches the live web, chains together public data sources, and returns a clean, enriched prospect list. You get names, titles, company details, and verified contact information—all without manual scraping. The free plan gives you 1,000 credits (no credit card needed) so you can test this yourself before scaling. The parent guide goes deeper on prompt engineering and segmentation strategies; here, we’re jumping into the campaign.
Step 2: Refine and Qualify the List for LinkedIn
A raw list is just a starting point. To make outreach work, you need to segment and qualify each contact inside Origami’s dashboard. Look at the enriched fields: job title, company description, LinkedIn activity, and any signals like tools used (if Origami detected a tech stack). For FOPAs, I look for a few things:
- Job title verbs: "vendor management," "scheduling," "office manager," or "executive assistant" are strong indicators. A generic "personal assistant" might still work, but dig deeper into their profile.
- Company AUM: I filter out offices with less than $30M in assets. Below that, the PA rarely has budget authority or a need for external services.
- Tenure: PAs with 2+ years in the role usually have the principal’s trust and influence over vendor selection. New hires are still proving themselves.
- Engagement signals: A PA who posts about productivity tools, follows family office thought leaders, or engages with content about operational efficiency is far more likely to respond.
What does a qualified FOPA look like? Someone who lists “managing vendor relationships” prominently, works at a $50M+ single-family office, has been there for 3 years, and recently liked a post about family office technology. That’s a Tier 1 lead. In Origami, I can tag these contacts or move them into a dedicated list for the high-priority sequence.
For the rest, I create Tier 2 (warm) and Tier 3 (long-tail nurture) buckets. The same sequence template works for all, but I might adjust the ask—Tier 3 gets a softer, more educational first touch. The platform lets you sort and filter with a few clicks, so you’re never guessing about who qualifies.
Step 3: Create the LinkedIn Sequence
Now for the meat of the playbook. Origami gives you two ways to build your sequence:
- Paste your own templates. Write a 3-touch cadence, set delays between each touch (Day 1, Day 3, Day 7—or whatever makes sense), and hit launch. You maintain full creative control.
- Let the AI agent write it. Prompt the agent with something like: “Write a 3-day LinkedIn sequence for each PA on my list, using their name, company, and industry nuances. Goal: offer a free vendor screening checklist.” The agent reads each lead’s enriched profile and generates personalized messages. Every message feels custom, even when sending to 100 contacts.
I’ve tested both. The template approach gives you consistency and is easy to A/B test. The AI-generated version often boosts reply rates because the language mirrors the prospect’s actual context. Either way, you’re launching from inside Origami, so there’s no copying and pasting between tools.
The 3-Touch FOPA Outreach Sequence (Copy and Paste)
Here’s the exact sequence I use. It’s built on two insights: (1) FOPAs are gatekeepers who hate spam, and (2) they’ll engage if you show you understand their world and offer a concrete tool that saves them time. The messages are short, direct, and respectful.
Touch 1 – Day 1: Connection Request + Note
Hi [First Name], I know you manage a flood of outreach for the [Last Name] family office. I help PAs like you quickly qualify vendors for [specific service/solution] so you only pass along the best fits. Would be great to connect and share a 30-second litmus test I use. – [Your Name]
Why it works: It names their pain point (endless cold outreach), positions you as an ally, and offers immediate value—a simple mental filter, not a product pitch. Word count: 49.
Touch 2 – Day 3: Follow-Up Message (Direct Message)
Hey [First Name], quick reason I reached out. Most family office PAs tell me filtering vendor noise is their biggest time-suck. I built a 2-minute checklist to rate potential service providers—it’s helped a few PAs cut screening time in half. Want me to send it over? No strings, just something I put together from real conversations.
Why it works: The “2-minute checklist” is a low-friction asset. It acknowledges that you’ve talked to people like them and gives a specific, non-salesy reason to reply. Word count: 67.
Touch 3 – Day 7: Final Message (Soft Close)
[First Name], last message from me. If the timing is off, no worries. But if your principal might consider [solution] in the next few months, I’d be happy to jump on a 10-minute call to see if we’d be a fit. I’ll respect your time and your inbox either way. Thanks for considering.
Why it works: The final note gives an easy out while planting a seed for future conversations. It respects the gatekeeper role and ends the sequence gracefully. Word count: 55.
You can tweak the bracketed fields for your offering. If you sell family office software, make it about “streamlining vendor contracts.” If you’re in wealth management, focus on “vetted investment opportunities.” The template stays flexible.
To set this up in Origami, click Sequences > New Sequence, paste each message into a touch, set delays (e.g., Day 1, Day 3, Day 7), and select the refined prospect list. If you want the AI to write personalized versions, you can toggle “Auto-generate with AI” and give a one-sentence instruction. The system handles the rest—including adding the connection request on Day 1.
Step 4: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami
This is where Origami saves the most time. Once your sequence is ready, you launch it from the same dashboard where you built and enriched the list. There’s no exporting to a CSV, no syncing with a separate outreach tool, no logging into LinkedIn manually to send invites. The built-in LinkedIn sequencer sends connection requests and follow-up messages automatically, respecting the delays you configured.
Here’s what you’ll see on the tracking side:
- Opens, clicks, and replies for every touch, visible in a single feed.
- Full contact context alongside activity. While you’re looking at a reply, you can still see the contact’s enriched profile—title, company, AUM, and tools used—so you remember exactly why you reached out.
- Automatic un-enrollment. If a PA replies, they’re instantly removed from the sequence. No more awkward “breakup” messages after a meeting is already booked.
- A/B testing built in. You can create two versions of a message, split your list, and let Origami show which one gets more replies.
The sequencer itself is free on all paid plans. You only pay for the credits used to enrich leads (starting at $29/month). That means you can send thousands of messages without worrying about per-email costs. For a small list of 100 FOPAs, the economics are a no-brainer.
What response rates should you expect? For this specific audience, I typically see a 25–35% connection acceptance rate if your LinkedIn profile looks professional and your note is on point. Of those who connect, 8–12% reply, usually to ask for the checklist or to schedule that 10-minute call. So from 100 prospects, you can count on 2–3 meaningful conversations. That may not sound huge, but in the family office world, a single conversion can be worth six figures—so the math works.
When to iterate. If connection acceptance is low, the problem is your profile photo, headline, or the connection note. Swap out the note first and give it another 100 invites. If you get connections but few replies, the Day 3 message isn’t hitting the right pain point; try a different asset (a short case study, a “how we helped another PA” story). If replies come in but you can’t convert to a call, the issue is either your offer isn’t compelling enough for the principal or you’re targeting PAs who aren’t the actual decision-influencers. Step back and refine the list criteria.
Wrapping Up
Running a LinkedIn campaign for Family Office Personal Assistants doesn’t require a complex tech stack or a dedicated SDR army. The entire workflow—from list building to sending and tracking—lives inside Origami. You describe your ideal customer, the platform builds the list, the built-in sequencer handles the outreach, and you get back to having real conversations.
If you haven’t yet, start with the free 1,000 credits to generate your first FOPA list, then load up the sequence above. The gatekeepers are waiting for someone who actually gets their world. Make that person you.
