Selling to the U.S.: LinkedIn, Email & Channel Playbook

You’ve identified U.S. buyers. Now what?

📌 Most exporters struggle at this exact stage:

  • Cold outreach gets ignored

  • LinkedIn messages go unread

  • Leads drop off after first contact

  • Sales reps are overwhelmed

To win U.S. clients, you need achannel-based engagement strategy—backed by data, automation, and relevance.

📌 Step 1: Map Your Buyer Touchpoints

Before you engage, define yoursales engagement funnel:

Funnel Stage Channel Objective
Awareness LinkedIn, email intro Make contact, show relevance
Consideration Email + website journey Showcase offer, build credibility
Conversion Chat / call / demo Close deal or confirm trial
Retention Follow-up sequences Stay top-of-mind for reorders

📌 Your job is to make this journeyseamless and automated—especially at scale.

✅ Step 2: LinkedIn Outreach That Works

LinkedIn is where U.S. decision-makers live.

UseEnterpriseScope+Automated Social Datato:

  • Discover buyer titles by industry & company size

  • Enrich lead profiles with role, region, and behavior

  • Segment based on interest signals (e.g. import activity, company expansion)

💡 Message Example:

“Hi John, we’ve helped other Texas-based manufacturers cut lead times with direct sourcing. Would it be helpful if I sent over a product list?”

Use SaleAI’s buyer tags to personalize every message at scale.

✅ Step 3: Email Campaigns That Get Replies

Once connection is made, continue the dialogue throughEmail SmartReach:

🎯 Email Sequence Example:

  1. Day 1– “Welcome” + industry pain point framing

  2. Day 4– Case study or competitor benchmark

  3. Day 7– Personalized offer / demo invitation

  4. Day 10– Reminder + value recap

  5. Day 15– Break-up email with future touchpoint

✅ SmartReach tracks:
