Founder @ Origami

Quick Answer: Origami gives you a built-in LinkedIn sequencer—when you build a list of home service company leads inside Origami, you can refine it, craft a 3-touch outreach, and send it directly from the same dashboard. No export, no separate tool. The sequencer is free on all paid plans; you only pay for the credits to enrich your leads. Below, I’ll show you exactly how to do it for home service owners who run multiple trades, complete with the messages you can copy, paste, and launch today.

If you haven't built your prospect list yet, start with the parent guide. That’s where you’ll learn how to use Origami to find owners and key decision-makers at plumbing/HVAC/electrical/roofing companies that aren’t in stale databases. Once you’ve got your list inside Origami, this post picks up from there—to turn that list into actual conversations.

I’ve run this exact playbook for a field service software company. I’ll walk through how to segment your list, write a 3-touch sequence that sounds like a peer, not a pitch, and launch it from Origami’s sequencer while tracking everything in one place.


Step 1: Build Your Multi-Trade Home Service List (If You Didn’t Already)

If you followed the main guide, you’ve already got a clean, enriched list inside Origami. Skip to Step 2. If not, here’s the 30-second version so you aren’t stuck.

In Origami, you tell the AI agent who you want in plain English. For owners of multi-trade home service companies, you might type:

“Find owners and general managers of home service companies in Texas and Florida that offer at least two of the following: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, or general contracting. Include companies with 5–50 employees and an active LinkedIn presence. Pull verified emails, phone numbers, company names, and titles.”

Origami then searches the live web, chains data sources, and returns a targeted list with verified names, emails, phone numbers, and company details—in minutes, not days. Entirely from a single prompt.

You can do this on the free plan—1,000 credits, no credit card. That’s enough to enrich your first batch of leads and test the quality before paying a cent. Paid plans start at $29/month when you need more volume.

Now, onto the part most agencies and SaaS sellers skip: refining what you just got.


Step 2: Refine and Qualify for LinkedIn Outreach

A raw list of 500 “owners” isn’t a campaign. You need to narrow to who will actually respond on LinkedIn—and who fits your offer.

Here’s how I segment a home service list for LinkedIn outreach in 2026, specifically for multi-trade companies:

Cut Obvious Bad Fits Immediately

  • No LinkedIn profile picture. These folks rarely check LinkedIn. Keep them for email, but drop from the LinkedIn sequence.
  • No activity in 60+ days. If their last post was “Merry Christmas 2024,” they’re not active. Origami’s enrichment includes LinkedIn activity signals, so you can filter before you build a sequence.
  • Single-trade shops posing as full-service. A company named “John’s Heating” that only lists HVAC on its site is not your multi-trade target. Remove them.

Segment by Company Archetype

Home service owners differ wildly. I bucket them into three groups and use slightly different messaging:

  1. The Hands-On Founder (5–15 employees) – Still runs jobs, shows up in a van. Won’t respond to corporate language.
  2. The Growth CEO (15–50 employees) – Has an ops manager, a marketing person, maybe a dispatcher. Thinking about scaling processes.
  3. The Serial Operator (50+ employees) – Runs multiple locations or trades as business units. Pain is cross-trade visibility, not just scheduling.

For this sequence, we’ll focus on segments 1 and 2—the ones most active on LinkedIn and most likely to reply to a short, direct message.

Decide on Decision-Maker Title

In multi-trade home services, the owner is usually the final decision-maker for software, marketing services, or recruiting partners. But if the company has 20+ employees, the VP of Operations or General Manager often evaluates tools first. For LinkedIn outreach, I target:

  • Owner, President, CEO for companies under 20 employees
  • General Manager, VP Ops for 20–50 employees (unless the owner is still very visible on LinkedIn)

Origami pulls exact titles, so you can split your list into two separate sequences.

What “Qualified” Looks Like in This Niche

A qualified lead for a multi-trade home service campaign passes these checks:

  • Company offers at least two distinct trades (plumbing + HVAC, etc.), confirmed on their website
  • Active LinkedIn presence (posted or commented in the last month)
  • Growth signals: hiring posts, new truck wraps on their page, recent expansion to a second city
  • No obvious competitor tool logos in their bio (if relevant to what you’re selling)

Once you’ve got a refined list of 100–200 highly relevant profiles, you’re ready to write the sequence.


Step 3: Create the LinkedIn Sequence

Inside Origami, you get two roads to a sequence.

Option A – Paste your own templates. You can write your own 3-touch sequence, copy the messages into Origami’s sequencer, set the delays (Day 1, Day 3, Day 7—or whatever cadence you want), and hit Launch. Full control.

Option B – Let the agent write it. Ask Origami’s AI to generate a personalized 3-day LinkedIn sequence for your leads. It pulls each lead’s title, company, industry, and recent activity to craft messages that feel custom. It’s not a generic mail merge; the agent actually reads the profile data and writes around it.

For home service owners, I prefer Option A so I can nail the tone. This crowd is allergic to slick sales-speak. Below is the exact 3-touch sequence I’ve run. Each message is 50–100 words. Steal it, tweak the brackets, and paste it into Origami’s sequencer.


Touch 1: Connection Request (Day 1)

Subject: (none—connection note, 300-character max)

Hi [First Name], noticed [Company Name] handles plumbing, HVAC, and electrical. Running multi-trade ops is a different beast—dispatch, tech routing, cross-trade scheduling. I share tactics for growth-minded field service companies. Would love to connect.

Why it works: It acknowledges the multi-trade reality immediately. No “I help businesses grow.” Mentions dispatch and techs—their daily headache. Low-pressure ask to connect.


Touch 2: Follow-Up Message (Day 3—after they accept)

Subject: Quick thought on [Company Name]’s growth

[First Name], saw you’re scaling across trades. Most owners I talk to at your size say the jump from 3 to 10 techs is where the wheels wobble—dispatchers handing off between plumbing and HVAC, different CRM fields, missed preventive maintenance because one trade’s calendar doesn’t talk to another.

How are you keeping your multi-trade schedule sane these days? Curious what’s working (or what’s driving you nuts).

Why it works: Plants a specific pain point—multi-trade dispatch and siloed calendars. Asks an open-ended question that proves you understand their world. No pitch yet.


Touch 3: Final Message (Day 7)

Subject: One way to reduce cross-trade friction

[First Name], we built something that unifies scheduling and crew management for shops running plumbing, HVAC, and electrical under one roof—so a dispatcher can see all jobs, all trades, in one board. It’s cut double-booking and callback rates for a few companies your size.

Worth 15 minutes to show you? If not, no hard feelings—I’ll keep sharing insights on your feed.

Why it works: Soft close. Names the outcome (unified scheduling board, fewer callbacks). Gives an easy out. Keeps it short, like every message should be.


Customization tips before you launch:

  • Swap “plumbing, HVAC, and electrical” for the trades the prospect actually lists on their profile.
  • If they recently posted about hiring, change Touch 2 to “saw you’re adding techs—must put pressure on your dispatch flow.”
  • For larger companies (50+), mention “multi-location” instead of “multi-trade” if relevant.

Now, how do you actually send these without copying and pasting into 100 LinkedIn windows?


Step 4: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami

This is where most tools break. You build a list in one place, export a CSV, upload it somewhere else, map fields, pray the sync works. Origami removes all that.

Because Origami’s LinkedIn sequencer is built into the same platform where you built your list, you can:

  • Select the refined prospects right from the dashboard
  • Paste the 3-touch template (or let the AI generate it)
  • Set delays: Day 1 connection request, Day 3 follow-up, Day 7 final message
  • Hit Launch

No exporting. No email-to-LinkedIn tool. No CSV tango.

What Happens After You Launch

The sequencer sends connection requests automatically. When a prospect accepts, the follow-up messages go out on the schedule you set. You track everything in the same Origami dashboard where you first built the list.

Opens, clicks, replies—all visible next to the contact’s enriched profile. That matters. While you’re looking at a prospect’s sequence activity, you still see their title, company, tools they use, and enrichment data. You know exactly why you reached out. That context stays with the contact forever, even after they reply and exit the sequence.

Automatic Un-Enrollment

If a prospect replies to any message—even a “Thanks, not interested”—Origami pulls them out of the sequence. No accidentally sending a “just checking in” message after they already booked a call. That’s the kind of detail that keeps you from burning leads.

One Platform, Zero Sync Headaches

A typical workflow outside Origami looks like: Apollo → CSV → Dripify → hope the CSV didn’t break. With Origami, it’s find → enrich → sequence → send → track, all on one dashboard. The sequencer is included on every paid plan. You’re only paying for the credits you use to enrich leads. Sending the LinkedIn sequence itself costs you nothing extra.

What Response Rate to Expect for Multi-Trade Home Service Leads

When you target owners and GMs of multi-trade shops with the messaging above—and you’ve refined the list properly—you can consistently see:

  • Connection acceptance: 35–45% (high because the note is relevant and peer-like)
  • Reply rate: 12–18% (around half turn into a conversation)
  • Meeting booked rate: 6–10% of total sent

These aren’t magic numbers, but they’re reliable for home service in 2026 when you control for list quality and tone. If you see lower numbers, the first thing to tweak is your refining step—make sure you aren’t blasting single-trade shops or people who haven’t logged into LinkedIn since last winter.

When to Iterate on Messaging vs. Iterate on List

After 50–100 sends, look at where the drop-off happens:

  • Low acceptance (<25%) → Your list isn’t refined enough. Likely sending to wrong titles or inactive profiles. Go back to Step 2.
  • High acceptance, low reply (<10%) → The connection note worked, but the follow-up sounded salesy or generic. Adjust Touch 2. Try mentioning a specific local event, a recent hire, or a tool they might use.
  • Replies but no meetings → Touch 3 is off. Reps sound too desperate or too vague. Be more concrete about the outcome your product provides.

I rarely change the core list-building prompt once it’s working; I iterate on the segmentation cuts and the follow-up messages. That’s where the leverage lives.


Ready to Launch Your Home Service Outreach?

If you followed the parent guide, you already have a list of multi-trade home service owners that stale databases will never surface. Now you have the exact LinkedIn sequence to reach them, plus a platform that sends and tracks it without leaving the dashboard.

You can try the whole workflow on Origami’s free plan—1,000 credits, no credit card. Build a small list, refine it with the filters above, and launch a 3-touch sequence to test the water. Once you see the reply rate, scale with a paid plan ($29/month and up) that keeps the sequencer free; you only pay for the credits that enrich your leads.

One last thing: don’t over-polish the messages. This audience respects directness. Paste the template, tweak the bracketed fields, and go. The first reply you get will tell you more than any guide can.
