Quick Answer: Once you’ve built a list of prospects comparing Lead411 and LeadIQ using Origami, you don’t export anything. You refine the list, write or let the AI generate a 3‑touch LinkedIn sequence, and send it directly from Origami’s built‑in LinkedIn sequencer. The sequencer is included on every plan — you only pay for the credits used to enrich leads. This guide gives you the exact messaging for Touch 1 (connection note), Touch 3 (follow‑up), and Touch 7 (soft close), so you can launch a campaign this afternoon.


Step 1: Build the List in Origami (Recap)

If you’ve already built your list, skip to Step 2. If not, here’s the one‑line prompt you’d type into Origami to find people who are actively weighing Lead411 against LeadIQ:

“Find B2B sales and RevOps professionals who are evaluating Lead411 vs LeadIQ for sales intelligence, with titles like VP of Sales, Sales Operations Manager, Revenue Operations, or Business Development. Include people who mentioned both tools on LinkedIn, in communities, or on comparison sites.”

Origami’s AI agent will go to work: it searches the live web, chains together data from CRM enrichment APIs, social signals, and job change feeds, then returns a fully enriched prospect list. You’ll see verified names, email addresses, phone numbers, titles, company size, industry, and even tech‑stack hints (like CRM or email platform). All from a single prompt.

You can run this on the free plan — Origami gives you 1,000 credits without a credit card. If you need a deeper walkthrough, check out how to build a list of Lead411 vs LeadIQ evaluators in the parent post.

Step 2: Refine and Qualify the List

A raw list of “everyone who compared Lead411 and LeadIQ” isn’t a campaign — it’s a directory. You need to sharpen it. In Origami’s dashboard, the prospect table is fully sortable and filterable. Here’s how I segment this audience:

  • Title: Filter for Director and above in Sales, RevOps, or Marketing Ops. Coordinators and junior SDRs rarely have budget or influence. Your best‑fit personas: VP of Sales, Head of Revenue Operations, Director of Sales Enablement, and sometimes CRO at smaller orgs.
  • Company size: 50–500 employees is the sweet spot. Companies this size have enough lead volume that data quality hurts, but they aren’t locked into enterprise contracts yet. Above 1,000 employees, you’re often dealing with commitments to a major platform and a longer procurement cycle.
  • Tech stack signals: Look for prospects whose enrichment data shows Salesforce, HubSpot, or Outreach in their stack. If a company is running Salesforce and evaluating Lead411 vs LeadIQ, they’re likely frustrated with the integration (or lack of one) from their current provider. That’s a buying trigger.
  • Activity cues: Origami can surface recent job changes or profile updates. A VP of Sales who switched roles in the last 90 days and posted about “fixing data” is gold — they have fresh mandate and zero legacy tool baggage.

“Qualified” for this specific campaign means the person is in the middle of an active evaluation or has recently complained about data accuracy, pricing, or integration limitations of one of the two tools. If all you see is a generic “this person looked at a comparison page,” keep them as a secondary outreach wave. The folks who explicitly said “LeadIQ credits drained too fast” or “Lead411 data hasn’t been great lately” go straight to the top.

Once segmented, I label them (Origami lets you tag prospects) as “Tier 1 — Active Evaluators” or “Tier 2 — Browse” so I can sequence them with slightly different urgency.

Step 3: Create the LinkedIn Sequence (Steal This Copy)

Origami’s built‑in LinkedIn sequencer sits right next to your prospect list. You have two paths:

  1. Paste your own templates — you write a 3‑touch sequence with custom delays, drop your copy into the composer, and launch.
  2. Let the AI agent write it — ask Origami’s agent to generate a personalized 3‑day LinkedIn sequence for your selected leads. It will read each contact’s profile, title, company, and industry, and craft unique messages for every person.

I’ll walk you through option 1, because when you’re targeting Lead411 vs LeadIQ evaluators, the nuance matters. The messaging needs a practitioner’s understanding of their specific pain, not a generic “let’s connect” note.

Below is the exact 3‑touch sequence I’ve run with this audience. All messages are short, direct, and under 100 words. Replace and with the variables Origami fills from each lead’s enriched profile.

Touch 1 — Day 1: Connection Request Note

LinkedIn limits connection notes to 300 characters. You have to make the person feel seen and give them a non‑salesy reason to accept.

Copy to paste:

Hey , noticed you’re comparing Lead411 vs LeadIQ. I help ops teams stop bleeding pipeline from bad data. If you’re unsure which tool actually keeps contacts fresh, I’ve got a perspective you won’t find on G2. Worth connecting?

Why it works: It signals you know exactly what they’re doing, offers a distinct point of view, and invites a low‑commitment yes.

Touch 2 — Day 3: Follow‑Up Message

Wait two days after they accept (or after the connection request if you haven’t heard back). This message should pivot away from the initial hook and address a concrete pain point.

Copy to paste:

, good to connect. Quick observation from working with teams like yours: the shock isn’t which platform wins on paper — it’s how fast data goes stale after the evaluation. I’ve seen LeadIQ credits disappear running re‑verification, and Lead411 lag on new contacts. If you’re open to a 10‑min call, I’ll share how a few peers layered real‑time enrichment to get 80%+ accuracy without doubling cost. No pitch — just what’s working right now.

Why it works: It references the cost‑per‑credit complaint typical of LeadIQ users and the freshness concern about Lead411, without bashing either. It also presupposes the call is for sharing, not selling.

Touch 3 — Day 7: Soft Close

You’ve given value and context. Now you leave the door open and make it easy to say yes or explicitly decline.

Copy to paste:

, last ping on the Lead411 vs LeadIQ question. Most RevOps leaders I chat with don’t need a whole new vendor — they need a way to feed their platforms with verified contacts on autopilot. If you’re still weighing options, I can share a 2‑minute Loom of how it works. If now isn’t the right time, no worries — good luck with the rollout.

Why it works: It lowers the ask to a Loom (extremely easy), acknowledges the evaluation might be over, and ends with genuine warmth. If you don’t hear back after this, the contact is recycled for a different cadence six weeks later.

A quick note on cadence: I set Day 1 (connection request), Day 3 (follow‑up after connection or two days after request if still pending), Day 7 (final note). If someone accepts the connection between Day 3 and Day 7, I might let the Day 7 message fire as planned, but Origami’s sequencer automatically un‑enrolls them if they reply — so you won’t accidentally send a breakup message after a booked call.

Step 4: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami

This is where Origami gives you the workflow that saves me hours per week. With your list refined and your sequence written, you simply select the prospects you want to enroll, click Launch Sequence, configure the delays, and you’re done.

No exporting CSVs. No syncing with a separate engagement tool. No Zapier spaghetti. The leads you built in Step 1 go straight into the sequencer inside the same dashboard.

Sending and tracking: Once launched, you can watch connections accepted, messages opened, link clicks, and replies — all next to the enriched profile of each lead. So when I see that Sarah from Acme Inc. replied “interested,” I can glance at her profile and see her title (VP of RevOps), company size (150 employees), and that she’s using Salesforce. That context doesn’t disappear the moment the sequence sends; it’s baked into the same interface. Origami shows you the entire lead journey — from list‑building to reply.

Automatic un‑enrollment: If a prospect replies at any point, they’re instantly removed from the sequence. No more “This meeting is booked, but today they also get my hard‑close template.” It’s a small thing that prevents big reputation damage.

Seamless feedback loop: If you notice a certain message generates low reply rates, you can pause the sequence, tweak the copy, and test again — all without leaving the audience tab. Conversely, if you see that leads from a certain segment (say, RevOps at 50‑200‑employee companies) reply at 2x the rate, you can double down and clone the sequence for a lookalike audience.

What does the sequencer cost? The LinkedIn sequencer is included on all paid Origami plans. You aren’t paying per outreach action — you’re paying for the credits used to initially enrich your leads. Send thousands of messages for the same credit cost you’d incur just building the list. That’s a different model from most tools that charge you per sequence enrollee.

What response rates can you expect? For a cold LinkedIn campaign to Lead411 vs LeadIQ evaluators, here’s what I benchmark:

  • Connection acceptance: 18–28% (the tighter your segmentation, the higher)
  • Reply rate: 7–14% among those who connect
  • Meeting booked rate: 2–4% of the original enrolled list

If you’re below 15% connection acceptance, look at your note’s first line — it’s either too salesy or generic. If you’re seeing high acceptance but low reply, your follow‑up messages aren’t tackling a specific enough pain point. Iterate the messaging first, then the list. If after three tweaks nothing moves, your audience definition is the problem (you might be targeting people who are simply browsing, not actively evaluating).
