Quick Answer: Origami has a built-in LinkedIn sequencer, so you can send connection requests and follow-ups directly from the same platform where you built your list. This guide walks you through turning a list of US companies using offshore AI consultants into booked meetings using a 3-touch LinkedIn campaign sent entirely inside Origami. You’ll get exact copy templates, timing, and expected results.

You’ve got a list of 200 US-based companies that currently use offshore AI consulting teams. Now what? Sending a generic InMail won’t cut it. Execs at these companies are bombarded daily. You need a tight, multi-touch LinkedIn sequence that speaks to their specific pain—and you need to send it efficiently without juggling tools. Origami’s built-in LinkedIn sequencer lets you do exactly that: load the list, write (or have the AI write) your sequence, set the cadence, and hit send. No CSVs, no Chrome extensions, no duplicate tabs. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the entire workflow, from refining your list to pulling the trigger and tracking results.

Step 1: Build the List (Or Verify Your Existing One)

If you followed the companion guide how to build a list of US Companies That Use Offshore AI Consultants, you already have a clean list ready in Origami. If not, here’s the exact prompt you’d type into Origami’s AI agent to generate it in under 60 seconds:

“Find US-based companies that mention offshore or nearshore AI development agencies on their careers pages, job boards, or team pages. Enrich with decision-maker contacts with job titles like CTO, VP of Engineering, Head of AI, or Director of Machine Learning. Include verified LinkedIn profiles.”

Origami will crawl the live web, chain data sources, and return a list of qualified leads complete with names, email addresses, phone numbers, company details, and LinkedIn URLs. On the free plan you get 1,000 credits (no credit card required), which is enough to build a list of 100–200 leads. For larger campaigns, paid plans start at $29/month.

Once the list is in your Origami dashboard, you’ll see each contact’s enriched profile—current company, role, location, tools they use, and any mentions of offshore providers. This context is gold for the next step.

Step 2: Refine and Qualify for LinkedIn Outreach

Not every company using offshore AI talent is a good fit for your pitch. You need to segment aggressively before you start firing off messages. Spend 10 minutes here to double your reply rate.

Open the contact view in Origami and filter by these dimensions:

  • Offshore signal strength: Look at the raw data Origami surfaced. Did it find explicit mentions of offshore agencies (e.g., Turing, Andela, BairesDev) on their job postings or team pages? Tag those as “High Intent.” Vague phrases like “global team” or “remote-first” go to “Medium Intent.” Generic AI hiring goes to “Low Intent.” You’ll prioritize High Intent first.
  • Company size and funding: Seed-stage startups (1–10 employees) often can’t afford to replace offshore easily. Mid-market companies (50–500 employees) with Series A or B funding are the sweet spot—they feel the pain of scaling but have budget to fix it. Use Origami’s filters to isolate these.
  • Role of the contact: CTOs and VPs of Engineering are your primary targets. A Head of AI might be a key influencer. If Origami returned a Director of Data Science, that person might be a user of the offshore output but not the budget holder; still worth including as a secondary contact.
  • Recent tech stack signals: If Origami’s enrichment shows the company uses tools like MLflow, Weights & Biases, or Kubeflow, that tells you they have mature AI infrastructure—and likely bigger quality pain when offshore execution falls short. Prioritize those.
  • LinkedIn activity: Filter for contacts active in the last 30 days. There’s no point sending a message to a CTO who hasn’t logged in for months. Origami often scrapes this from public profiles, so use it.

Once segmented, you’ll have a shortlist of 50–80 high-intent leads. Export nothing. This list stays inside Origami. Now you’re ready to craft your sequence.

Step 3: Create the 3-Touch LinkedIn Sequence

Origami’s built-in sequencer gives you two ways to build your outreach:

  1. Paste your own templates. Write a series of message templates (like the ones below) and paste them into the sequencer. Use personalization tokens like , , and any custom data points Origami enriched (e.g., ``). Then set the delay between touches.
  2. Let the AI agent write it. Tell Origami something like: “Generate a 3-day LinkedIn sequence targeting US companies using offshore AI consultants. Focus on communication breakdowns, rework, and time zone delays.” The AI will pull each lead’s profile data and write custom message drafts for every contact. You can review and tweak before launching.

I’ve run both approaches. For speed, the AI-generated sequence works surprisingly well, especially at scale. But if you want full control, here’s the exact 3-touch sequence I’ve used to book meetings with CTOs at companies that offshore AI work. Copy, paste, and tweak the angles to your offer.

A/B test approach: I recommend starting with the templates below for your first 50 leads, but split your list in half. One half gets the “rework cost” angle (Touch 2 below); the other half gets an “IP security” variant. Let the data tell you which pain resonates. You can always swap in a different angle later.

Touch 1: Connection Request (with note)

LinkedIn limits connection notes to 300 characters, but Origami handles the note inline. Here’s the note:

Hi , I see leans on offshore AI talent to ship. I’m with a US-based consultancy that embeds onshore AI engineers who sync with your calendar—no more midnight handoffs or spec rewrites. Up for a 15-min call?

Why it works: It acknowledges the prospect’s current state without bashing offshore. It names the relief (no more late-night handoffs) and ends with a low-friction ask.

Touch 2: Day 3 Follow-Up (only if connection accepted)

Sent automatically by Origami 3 days after connection. If the prospect hasn’t replied, this message goes out:

, quick follow-up. One hidden cost of offshore AI isn’t the hourly rate—it’s the rework loops from misaligned model requirements and undocumented code. We fix that by embedding a US-based MLOps lead who code-reviews offshore output and enforces your standards. Most clients see 40% fewer production bugs within 90 days. Worth a 10-min screen share?

Tactical note: The 40% figure is real for our client base; replace with your own metrics if you have them. The shift from general pain to a specific cost driver (rework) moves the conversation from “nice to have” to “need to fix.”

Touch 3: Day 7 Final Message (soft close)

Seven days after the second message, Origami sends this break-up note:

– final note. If your offshore team’s output feels like it needs a “translation layer,” that’s a clear sign the model is drifting. I’m offering a free architecture review where we’ll spot 3 gaps in your current AI delivery model—no pitch, just a 30-min call. If that’s useful, reply “yes” and I’ll send a link. If not, I’ll stop bugging you—and good luck this quarter.

This message gives them an out while offering massive value. The “translation layer” metaphor hits home for anyone who’s ever tried to decipher a model built halfway around the world. It’s actionable, zero-pressure, and often triggers a reply months later when the pain peaks.

Personalization at scale: If you use Origami’s AI to generate sequences, each touch will be uniquely written for the lead based on their actual profile data—title, industry, the specific offshore firm mentioned, even recent LinkedIn activity. That level of customization lifts response rates by 2–3x. But the human-written templates above work perfectly when you want consistency across a batch.

Step 4: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami

This is where the built-in sequencer saves you hours. There’s no need to export your list to a CSV, upload it to a third-party tool, or fiddle with browser extensions. Everything happens inside the same Origami dashboard where you built and refined the list.

Here’s the launch flow:

  1. In your contact list, select the segment you want to target (e.g., High Intent contacts).
  2. Click “Create Sequence” and either paste your three message templates or have the AI generate them.
  3. Set the delays: Typical cadence is Day 1 (connection request), Day 3 (first follow-up), Day 7 (final touch). You can adjust based on your audience; CTOs often need a longer window.
  4. Configure auto‑end rules: Origami automatically unenrolls a contact if they reply to any message. No more accidentally sending a breakup note after they’ve booked a meeting.
  5. Hit “Launch.”

Origami will begin sending connection requests and follow-ups according to your schedule. All sending is done directly from the platform—you don’t need to log into LinkedIn again.

Tracking and iteration: Inside the same dashboard, you’ll see a feed of activity: who accepted your connection, who opened a message, who clicked any links, and who replied. Next to each activity, you can still view that contact’s enriched profile—their job history, company details, tools used—so you always know exactly why you reached out. When someone replies, their thread appears right there, and they’re instantly removed from the sequence.

The sequencer itself is included on all paid Origami plans. You only pay for the credits you used to enrich those leads. Sending messages costs nothing extra. That means you can run a campaign to 100 leads for as little as $29/month.

What results to expect: For a well‑crafted list of 100 high‑intent CTOs at US companies using offshore AI, expect:

  • Connection acceptance: 20–30%
  • Reply rate on follow‑up 1: 10–15%
  • Meeting bookings: 2–5%

If after two weeks you’re seeing low replies (under 5%), revisit your messaging first. Try a different pain angle—maybe IP security instead of rework. If connection acceptance is low, your list might include too many people who aren’t active on LinkedIn; use Origami to filter by “last active” date or prioritize profiles with more than 500 connections. You can also pause the sequence for pending contacts and tweak the connection note on the fly.
