Step-by-step guide to running a LinkedIn outreach sequence for DTC health marketers. Includes exact 3-touch copy, cadence, and how Origami's built-in sequencer sends it all automatically.
GTM @ Origami
Quick Answer
You’ve built a list of DTC health marketers using Origami. Now you need to turn it into conversations. Origami isn’t just a list builder—it includes a built‑in LinkedIn sequencer so you can find, enrich, qualify, and message those prospects without leaving the platform. Below I’ll walk you through the exact 3‑touch sequence I’ve used to get a 30%+ reply rate from growth leads at DTC supplement, wellness, and telehealth brands. You’ll get the full message copy you can steal, the cadence that works, and how to send it all from one screen.
Step 1: Build the List in Origami (Skip If You Already Have It)
If you came from the how to build a list of DTC Health Marketers for Lead Generation guide, you already have a targeted prospect set. If not, here’s the 30‑second version.
Inside Origami, type this prompt (or adapt it):
Find DTC health marketers who work for brands selling supplements, wellness products, or telemedicine.
Filter for people with job titles like Head of Marketing, Growth Marketing Manager, Performance Marketing Manager,
or VP of Demand Gen at companies with 50+ employees and active Meta Ads or TikTok spend.
Origami’s AI agent scours the live web, chains data sources, and returns a list of verified profiles—each with name, current title, company, email, phone number, and enrichment signals like tech stack, recent hiring news, and ad spend indicators. No scraping, no manual research.
The free plan gives you 1,000 credits (no credit card) so you can build and export a few hundred leads without paying a cent. For larger campaigns, paid plans start at $29/month and include the sequencer.
Step 2: Refine & Qualify Your List for LinkedIn Outreach
A raw list of “DTC health marketers” still needs a human pass. I segment mine into three tiers before loading anything into a sequence.
What Makes a “Qualified” Lead in This Niche
A lead worth messaging on LinkedIn should hit at least 3 of these:
- Role is directly responsible for paid acquisition or lead gen – not a brand manager or content lead.
- Company sells a product that can use a lead magnet — think vitamin subscriptions, weight‑loss programmes, online therapy, functional drinks. Pure telehealth with no supplement line is harder to trigger interest unless you’re selling a patient‑acquisition solution.
- Evidence of recent paid social activity — if Origami’s enrichment shows they use Meta Pixel, TikTok Ads, or Google Ads, they’re actively spending.
- Company size 20‑500 employees — large enough to have budget, small enough that a Head of Growth still runs campaigns themselves.
How to Segment in Origami
After the list is generated, you’ll see a table with filters. I create three buckets:
- Hot – Head of Growth / VP Demand Gen at companies using Meta + TikTok, company size 100‑500. These are your highest‑intent prospects.
- Warm – Performance Marketing Manager / Senior Growth Manager at 20‑99 employee brands. Budget holders who can still say “yes.”
- Cool – Marketing Director or CMO at very large enterprises (500+). Harder to reach; I keep them for a lighter nurture sequence.
Delete anyone who is clearly not a decision‑maker (e.g., Social Media Intern, Brand Copywriter). A tight list of 200 qualified DTC marketers will outperform a messy list of 1,000 every time.
Step 3: Create the LinkedIn Outreach Sequence (Full 3‑Touch Copy)
This is where most campaigns die — generic messages. DTC health marketers get the same “I help e‑commerce brands grow” InMails every day. The only way to cut through is to mirror their reality.
Two Ways to Build the Sequence in Origami
- Paste your own templates – Write a 3‑touch sequence directly in Origami’s sequencer. Set your delays between touches (Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, or any cadence you prefer) and hit “Launch.” You control every word.
- Let the AI agent write it – Alternatively, ask the Origami agent to generate a personalised 3‑day sequence for your leads automatically. The agent reads each contact’s title, company, and industry signals and writes messages that reference specifics — so a growth lead at a supplement brand gets a different opener than a telehealth marketer. You can edit any message before sending.
Below I’m giving you the exact templates for option 1 — tested across hundreds of DTC health outreach touchpoints in 2025‑2026. Every message is 50‑100 words, direct, and uses industry language they recognise.
The 3‑Touch Sequence (Copy‑Paste Ready)
Day 1: Connection Request + Note (Maximum 300 characters)
Hi ,
saw you’re driving growth for .
A lot of DTC health brands I talk to are hitting a wall with Meta CPMs + iOS attribution gaps.
Would love to connect with someone deep in that fight.
-
Why this works: It names two specific pain points (CPMs, attribution) that every DTC health marketer is currently feeling. No “I see we’re connected through…”. It’s short enough that on mobile they see the whole note without tapping.
Day 3: Follow‑up Message (InMail or Open Message if Connected)
Hey , thanks for connecting.
Quick thought — a lot of DTC health brands are now standing up lead gen quizzes or free sample kits to capture emails *before* a purchase. It’s pulling CACs down 20‑30% for a few of my clients.
I’d be curious if you’ve tested that style of funnel at . Happy to share a couple of anonymised playbooks if it’s timely.
No pitch, just benchmarking. Would a 10‑min call be unreasonable?
-
Why this works: It gives a concrete, narrow use case — not “we do lead gen” — and a soft ask for a 10‑minute call. The “benchmarking” frame lowers their guard. You’re not selling; you’re trading intelligence.
Day 7: Final Message (Soft Close)
Hi , last ping from me.
If bringing down blended CAC and building a first‑party data asset is on ’s radar, I’d be happy to walk you through what’s working for other DTC health teams right now.
Otherwise, I’ll assume the timing’s off. Either way, hope Q2 finishes strong for you.
-
Why this works: It’s a polite, low‑pressure exit. The phrase “first‑party data asset” is a top‑of‑mind priority for health brands staring down cookie deprecation and ATT restrictions. You close the loop without burning the bridge.
Personalisation Tokens Available in Origami
When you paste these templates into the sequencer, you’ll use variables like , , , and any enrichment data Origami attached (e.g., ). The platform auto‑populates them per lead.
If you want to add a custom line, say referencing their recent Series A or a specific tool they use, you can manually edit that lead’s touch before launching. For 90% of a well‑built list, the above templates will feel personal enough.
Step 4: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami
Here’s where the “one platform” thing matters.
You don’t export a CSV, upload it to some disjointed tool, and pray the sync works. From the same dashboard where you built your list, you click Launch Sequence. Origami’s built‑in LinkedIn sequencer handles everything:
- Sends connection requests with your Day 1 note.
- Waits the delay you set (I recommend 2‑3 days), then automatically sends the Day 3 message to everyone who accepted but hasn’t replied.
- Waits again and sends the Day 7 soft close.
Sending & Tracking
While the sequence runs, you see real‑time stats: opens, clicks, replies. But what I find more useful is the prospect context panel. When you look at a contact’s activity, you still see their full enriched profile — title, company, tools they use, recent news. You know exactly why you reached out, so when they reply, you’re not fumbling for context.
Automatic Un‑enrollment
If someone replies at any point—even a “not interested”—they’re instantly un‑enrolled from the rest of the sequence. No accidentally sending a breakup message after they’ve agreed to a meeting.
The Sequencer Is Free on Paid Plans
The LinkedIn sequencer itself costs nothing. You only pay for credits used to enrich leads. Plans start at $29/month. So once you’ve built your list (1,000 credits free on the Free plan, or more on paid), sending the sequence is included. No per‑message fees, no surprise overage charges for the outreach side.
What Results to Expect
With the exact list‑building + qualifying + copy‑sequence approach above, here’s what my team sees in mid‑2026 for DTC health marketers:
- Connection acceptance rate: 35‑45% (if you’ve been active on LinkedIn and your profile looks like a peer, not a sales rep)
- Reply rate on accepted connections: 25‑35% — meaning of those who connect, about 1 in 3 will send a response (positive, neutral, or “not right now”).
- Meeting‑booked rate from replies: 40‑50% — so roughly 4‑7 meetings per 100 contacts.
Those numbers assume you’ve built a tight, role‑specific list, not a spray‑and‑pray pull of anyone with “marketing” in their title at a health brand.
When to Iterate on Messaging vs. Iterate on the List
If after 100 sends your connection acceptance rate is below 25%, your profile or list is the problem, not the copy. Check:
- Are you connecting with people who are actually in paid acquisition roles?
- Does your own headline and activity position you as a peer?
If acceptance is high but reply rates are under 15%, tweak the Day 3 message. Swap the angle — maybe lead with a stat about CVR uplift from quizzes vs. the CAC argument. Resist the urge to make it longer; keep it under 100 words.
If replies spike but meetings don’t follow, your Day 7 soft close might be too passive. Add a calendar link inside the message: “If this is worth 10 minutes, grab a slot here while it’s top‑of‑mind.”
One Workflow, One Tool
Most sales workflows for DTC health outreach force you to jump between three tools: a list builder, a LinkedIn automation tool, and a CRM. Origami collapses that into a single platform. You build the list, enrich it, segment it, write (or let the AI write) your sequence, and send — all from one dashboard. And because the sequencer is included on paid plans, you’re only paying to generate the leads, not to mail them.
If you haven’t built your list yet, go back to the how to build a list of DTC Health Marketers for Lead Generation guide. If you’re sitting on a fresh list and just needed the outreach plan, copy those three messages above, set your delays, and launch. In 2026, the DTC health teams that respond fastest are the ones who feel like you’re inside their head — not another sales pitch.
