Quick Answer

If you have a list of decision-makers at mid-sized companies in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, you can launch the outreach campaign straight from Origami. Origami has a built-in LinkedIn sequencer — review your list, drop in your message templates (or let the AI write them), and send connection requests and follow-ups automatically. No exporting, no syncing tools. This guide walks through refining that list, writing a 3-touch sequence that speaks directly to Klang Valley mid-market leaders, and sending it all from your Origami dashboard.


Prerequisite: Your Prospect List

In our previous guide, we covered how to build a list of Decision-Makers at Mid-Sized Companies in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. If you followed it, you now have a list inside Origami — names, verified emails, LinkedIn profiles, company details, all enriched from a single prompt.

Now the list is ready. But before you start blasting connection requests, you need to look at it with a pair of realistic eyes. Not every lead Origami found will be worth reaching out to, and not everyone deserves the same message.


Step 1: Refine and Qualify the List

Origami’s AI agent is good, but it returns what you asked for — “decision-makers at mid-sized companies in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor”. That can include a wide range of titles. I’ve seen lists from this prompt bring back CEOs, Managing Directors, VPs, but also “Assistant Procurement Manager” or “Senior Executive, Business Development”. Those latter roles aren’t decision-makers — they might influence, but they don’t sign off on a six-figure deal.

What “qualified” looks like for this audience:

  • Title: Director, VP, Head of Department, C-level, Managing Director, or GM. If you sell to IT, filter for CIO, CTO, IT Director. If you sell to HR, focus on CHRO, HR Director, or VP People.
  • Company size: 50–500 employees. Mid-sized in Malaysia typically earns RM25 million to RM500 million annually. Origami usually gets this right, but you can manually remove outliers (too small, too large).
  • Activity signals: In Origami’s lead view, you can see whether the contact has been active on LinkedIn recently. An account that hasn’t posted in two years is a lower priority.
  • Location: Confirm they are actually based in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor. Some companies have headquarters elsewhere but a satellite office in KL — if the decision-maker sits in Singapore, they might not care about local pain points.

I typically segment the list into two buckets: Tier 1 (CEO/MD, Regional VP, GM) and Tier 2 (functional Directors, Heads of Department). Tier 1 gets a more senior message about scaling and strategy. Tier 2 gets a message tied to their specific function (operations, sales, HR, etc.).

You can do this segmentation right inside Origami. Create two filtered views based on title keywords, then name them “KL Mid-Market – C-level” and “KL Mid-Market – Directors”. That way you can tailor the sequence for each segment without duplicating work.

Don’t skip this step. Even a perfect message falls flat if you’re sending it to someone who can’t say yes.


Step 2: Create the LinkedIn Sequence

Here’s where Origami really shines because the sequencer lives inside the same platform you used to find the leads. You don’t need to export a CSV, upload it somewhere else, and pray the sync works. You refine the list, build the sequence, and launch — all from one tab.

Origami gives you two ways to build the sequence:

  1. Paste your own templates. Write a 3‑touch sequence (connection request + two follow‑ups), copy it into the sequence builder, set the delays between touches, and hit launch. I’ll give you full copy you can steal below.
  2. Let the AI agent write it. Alternatively, you can tell Origami to generate a personalized 3‑day LinkedIn sequence for every lead. The AI reads each contact’s profile (title, company, industry) and writes messages that feel individual. It’s surprisingly good, but I still prefer starting from templates I’ve tested.

For this guide, I’m sharing the exact sequence I’d use to reach decision‑makers at mid‑sized companies in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The messages assume you offer a B2B solution that helps midsize companies scale operations, automate workflows, or modernise processes — think ERP, cloud migration, project management, HR tech, or business intelligence. Replace the bolded bits with your specifics.

The 3‑Touch Sequence (Copy‑Paste Ready)

Touch 1 – Connection Request Note

Hi , saw your work at and noticed the scale you’re handling in Klang Valley. Mid‑market firms here face unique pressure to grow without adding overhead — I help companies like yours streamline that. Would be great to connect and swap perspectives. No pitch.

(Under 300 characters, leaves room for personalisation.)

Touch 2 – Day 3 (follow‑up after they accept)

Thanks for connecting, . I’ve been talking to a few mid‑sized companies in KL and Selangor that are hitting a wall with manual processes — spreadsheets breaking, approval chaos, local compliance costs creeping up. Not sure if that’s top of mind at , but if digitalisation on a lean budget is something you’re exploring, I can share what’s worked for peers. No rush.

(Exactly 101 words. Direct, references local realities, no jargon.)

Touch 3 – Day 7 (soft close)

One last note, . Leaders I’ve worked with in the Klang Valley managed to cut manual work by 30–40% and free up teams for growth — all without adding headcount. If that sounds like a 15‑minute conversation, I’d be happy to show you how. If timing isn’t right, no worries. Wishing you a strong quarter ahead.

(96 words. Soft close, leaves the ball in their court.)

Why This Sequence Works for KL/Selangor Decision‑Makers

Mid‑sized companies in this region have common pain points: scaling regionally while keeping costs in check, talent shortages (especially in tech and operations), and navigating both local and international compliance. Mentioning “Klang Valley”, “lean team”, “local compliance” and “without headcount” tells them you understand their world.

The first touch is purely a relationship opener — no ask. The second touch leads with a problem you’ve seen others face. The third gives a concrete outcome and a low‑pressure next step.

You can swap the “30–40%” figure with a real number from your client case studies, or replace the problem angle with your actual category. If you sell cybersecurity, replace “manual processes” with “data sovereignty and phishing risks”. If you sell logistics, talk about “last‑mile delivery challenges across Selangor”. Keep the cadence and tone.


Step 3: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami

Once you’ve written (or generated) your sequence, it’s time to launch. In your Origami list view, select the segment you want to reach (e.g., “KL Mid‑Market – Directors”). Click Create Sequence.

Configure the Delays

  • Touch 1: Day 0 – Connection request with note (Origami sends it immediately or at a time you choose).
  • Touch 2: Day 3 – Follow‑up message (only sent if they accepted your connection).
  • Touch 3: Day 7 – Final message (only if no reply yet).

Origami’s sequencer respects LinkedIn’s rate limits, so you don’t have to worry about getting flagged. You’ll see a preview of every message as it will appear before you confirm.

Hit Launch — and Watch the Dashboard

This is the part that makes Origami different from most list‑building tools: you don’t export anything. The same dashboard where you filtered your leads now shows the outreach in real time.

You’ll see:

  • Connection requests sent, accepted, and pending.
  • Messages delivered and opened (for InMails; for direct messages, you’ll see sent status).
  • Replies — and here’s a big one: if a lead replies, Origami automatically pulls them out of the sequence. No one gets a “just checking in” message after already booking a meeting.
  • Prospect context while reviewing a lead’s activity, you can still see their enriched profile (title, company, tools used) right next to the conversation. So you know exactly why you reached out in the first place, without digging through notes.

Everything lives in one platform — find the leads, qualify them, sequence them, and analyze what’s working. You pay only for the credits used to enrich leads; the sequencer itself is included on all paid plans (the free plan gives you 1,000 enrichment credits to get started, no credit card).

What Response Rates to Expect

With a list that’s tightly qualified and messages tailored to local decision‑makers, here’s what I see in 2026:

  • Connection acceptance: 15–25%. If it drops below 10%, your note is too pitchy or your list isn’t narrow enough.
  • Reply rate: 5–10% of accepted connections. A 10% reply rate on 100 accepted connections means 10 conversations — enough to fill a pipeline.
  • Meeting booked: Typically 30–50% of positive replies lead to a meeting.

Results vary by industry and offer. A hot‑button solution (like reducing energy costs in manufacturing) will get higher replies than a generic “we help your business grow”. That’s why the copy matters more than anything else.

When to Iterate on Your List vs. Your Messaging

  • Low connection acceptance (<10%): Look at your target list. Are you sending to people who haven’t been active on LinkedIn? Is the title “Manager” when you really need a Director? Tighten the filters in Origami and re‑export a cleaner segment. Also test a different connection note — sometimes a more casual, localised opener works better.
  • High acceptance, low reply rate (<5%): Your follow‑up messages aren’t hitting a nerve. Go back to Touch 2 and Touch 3. Try a different pain point (e.g., talent retention instead of process inefficiency). Origami lets you A/B test sequences by saving multiple versions, so you can try a second angle with the next batch.
  • Good reply rate but no meetings: Your pitch or offer might not be compelling. Check whether you’re asking for a call too early or too late. Adjust the final touch.

Your Next Move

You’ve got the list from the parent guide. You’ve now got the messages and the tool to send them. The only thing between you and a pipeline of conversations with KL/Selangor mid‑market leaders is 30 minutes inside Origami.

Refine your list. Paste the sequence. Hit send.


Note: The sequencer is included on all Origami paid plans. You only pay for credits to enrich your leads — the sending itself is free. The free plan gives you 1,000 credits to test the full workflow, no credit card required.
