The biggest mistake most companies make with outreach is the one I used to make myself- sending one-off touchpoints.
You spend all this time and money building a campaign. It looks great, it sounds great, and it lands with… crickets.
Not because the message wasn’t good. But because you only showed up once.
And in today’s world of endless media saturation, one impression isn’t enough.
Why Sequencing Works
Think about marketing impressions. The more times we get in front of someone, the harder it is to ignore us.
That’s where sequencing comes in.
Instead of dropping one expensive campaign and hoping it sticks, we help our clients create a series of smaller, consistent touchpoints. With each messaging building on the last.
And instead of relying on ads, emails, or flyers that are easy to scroll past, we lean on the principle of reciprocity.
A handwritten card paired with a gift is almost impossible to ignore. A packet of Altoids on your desk is more than a message- it’s a physical, sensory reminder that keeps you top of mind.
How It Works in Practice
Here’s what a 4-touch sequence might look like:
- Lead with a gift as a token of goodwill.
- Follow up with another card (maybe paired with a second, relevant gift).
- Add a third touchpoint that keeps the conversation alive.
- Close with a business card they’ll actually hang on to.
Each touchpoint feels intentional. Each one builds anticipation for the next.
And because we oversee the full strategy- from curating the messaging, aligning the gifts, and keeping everything consistent- you don’t just get random acts of outreach.
You get a campaign that flows.
Proof It Works
I tested this exact approach myself.
After sending the third gift in a sequence to a list of 70 prospects, I landed 7 sales in one week. Three were repeat clients. Four were brand new.
The approx. cost for the card, item, and shipping was around $700 and resulted in close to $17,000 in new sales.
That’s the power of sequencing.
