Hi {{first_name}},
At a smaller consultancy, senior consultants often end up being the best source of new business because clients trust technical people more than salespeople. But prospecting on top of billable work is a lot to ask.
We help technical folks at firms like {{company_name}} set up simple outbound workflows that turn their domain expertise into qualified conversations. No cold calling, no hard selling. Just positioning your knowledge in front of the right people.
The whole system runs on about two hours a week. Here is how it breaks down:
- 30 minutes identifying target accounts based on your tech stack expertise
- 30 minutes reviewing and personalizing outreach templates
- 60 minutes on follow-ups and warm conversations

Personalization Tips
- Reference specific technologies or frameworks listed on their LinkedIn profile.
- Mention any open-source contributions, blog posts, or conference talks they have given.
- If they have certifications, tie the outreach to demand for that specific skill set.
- Note any side projects or technical writing that shows their area of deep expertise.
When to Use
When reaching out to senior consultants or technical leads at small firms who also contribute to business development.
When NOT to Use
When the person is a junior consultant with no client-facing responsibilities.
