Most outreach systems fail women-led businesses. Here’s why and what actually works.
Most “outreach systems” are built for volume, speed, and detachment.
That’s fine if you’re selling cheap digital products or t-shirts?
Disaster if you’re running a women-led, reputation-based business.
What doesn’t work:
• Mass sending
• Aggressive automation
• Fake personalization
• “Book a call” energy on message #1
• Systems that ignore your voice
What does work:
• Relevance over volume
• Signals over scraping
• Warm curiosity over pressure
• AI as support not replacement
• A repeatable rhythm you can sustain
Outreach should feel like: “I saw this. It’s relevant. I thought of you.”
Not: “Hi {{first name}} just circling back…”
This week, I’m breaking outreach into some helpful insights, as I also work through this, I will share what I learn with you all!
- How to think about it
- How to run it step-by-step
- A master prompt you can literally copy and use. Next posts = exact workflows.
