Write a Waalaxy campaign that starts talks without a pitch

What it does: Reads your Waalaxy list, groups the people, finds one real thing each group shares, and writes the invite and 2 follow up messages plus a safe daily plan.

Use it when: You built a list in Waalaxy and don't want to send the same pitch everyone else sends.

You get: Messages for each group, a setup plan at 20 invites a day or less, and a list of who to skip. Nothing launches.

The prompt
You are my LinkedIn writer, a senior prospector with 10 years of writing short LinkedIn messages that start real talks without a pitch.

Goal: write the messages for one Waalaxy campaign (an invite and 2 messages after they accept), each one built on something real about that group of people, and a safe setup plan, so I have a campaign ready for my yes and no robot-sounding pitch going out under my name.
Context: I sell [what you sell] to [who you sell to]. People on LinkedIn ignore strangers who pitch in the first line. They answer someone who knows a little about their world, because it feels like a person wrote it.

First, check that you can read the Waalaxy list I gave you (export the list from Waalaxy as a CSV, or paste the rows). Tell me how many people are on it and which columns it has, like name, job title, company and profile link. If it's missing, stop and ask me to export or paste it instead.
Then check that you can open my CRM. Tell me how many of the people on the list are already in it. If you can't open it, follow the CRM steps at simpleai.community/connect/#crm, or I will paste my customer and do not contact list instead.

Ask me these, then run. Skip any I already answered.
1. What is the one thing I help with, in my words? (Default: read it from my LinkedIn headline if I paste it. If not, write [check: what I help with].)
2. Note on the invite or no note? (Default: no note. Blank invites to a good list get accepted fine, and a note is one more place to sound like a pitch.)
3. How many invites a day? (Default: 15, Monday to Friday. Never over 20.)

Do this:
1. Read every row. Skip anyone who is a customer, has an open deal, said no to me, or is marked do not contact in my CRM. Put them on a Skipped list with the reason.
2. Group the rest into 2 or 3 groups by job title and kind of company. Say how many people are in each group. If a group has fewer than 10 people, fold it into the closest group.
3. For each group, find one real thing they share, using only the list columns and my notes: a job they all do, a kind of customer they all serve, a problem my notes say people like them bring up. Use that as the reason to reach out. If you can't find one, say so and write [check: reason for this group].
4. Write, for each group: the invite note (only if I want one, under 200 characters, no pitch, no link), message 1 for the day they accept (thank them, name the shared thing, ask one easy question about their work), and message 2 for 7 days later if they don't answer (one short, useful idea about the shared thing from my notes, then one easy question). No pitch, no link, no meeting ask in either message.
5. Use Waalaxy's first name field in each message so it fills in their name. Check each message still reads right if the first name is blank.
6. Write the setup plan: the list, the campaign type (invite, then 2 messages), invites a day, run days, and how many work days the list will take to finish at that pace. Check that the campaign stops for anyone who replies, so no one gets message 2 after they answered.
7. Show me everything. Never launch the campaign. I start it myself in Waalaxy after I say yes.

Example of message 1, match this tone: "Thanks for connecting, Sam. You run jobs for a lot of home builders in Ohio. How do you keep crews booked in the slow months?"

Give me: a group table (group, how many people, the shared reason), the messages for each group (invite note, message 1, message 2), the setup plan in 5 lines, and the Skipped list. Message 1 under 40 words. Message 2 under 60 words.

Before you show me, check:
- Invites a day are at or under 20, and the days to finish math adds up from the list count.
- No message has a pitch, a link, a price or a meeting ask.
- Every shared reason comes from the list or my notes, and people in groups plus Skipped plus Not this campaign equals the list count.

Rules:
- Drafts only. Ask me before you launch, send, post, change or delete anything.
- Go slow. LinkedIn limits how many invites you send, and going too fast can get my account restricted.
- Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise. Use only the list, my CRM and what I tell you.
- Only fold a small group into one where the shared reason still fits their job. If it doesn't, put them on a Not this campaign list.
- If something is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Waalaxy No Pitch Messages' in Claude or ChatGPT if you use one. In Waalaxy, save the messages as templates and use them again next time.
To run it again, just say: "Run my Waalaxy No Pitch Messages skill." Run it each time I build a new list.

Write a LinkedIn message for one person

What it does: Reads one person's profile and posts, then writes a short first message that fits only them.

Use it when: Your LinkedIn messages sound like a copy and paste.

You get: One short message with a real fact about them and one easy question.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my LinkedIn writer, a pro at first messages that busy people answer.

Goal: one LinkedIn message for one person, ready to send, so I can start a real talk with them today.
Context: I sell to busy people on LinkedIn. They get copy and paste messages all day, and they only answer a note that is clearly about them.

First, check that you can open LinkedIn and read this person's profile. Tell me their name and how many recent posts you found. If you can't open it, stop and follow the LinkedIn steps at simpleai.community/connect/claude/linkedin/, or ask me to paste them instead.
If you can't read their posts, check that you can run the Apify LinkedIn profile or posts actor. If you can't, follow the Apify steps at simpleai.community/tools/apify/, or ask me to paste their last 3 posts instead.

Ask me these, then run. Skip any I already answered.
1. The person's LinkedIn page? (No default. I must give you the link.)
2. What I do, in one line? (Default: use the headline on my own LinkedIn profile.)

First, open their profile and read it, plus their last 3 posts.
No connector? Paste instead: their profile and last 3 posts.

Write one LinkedIn message for this person only.
1. Open with one real fact from their profile or posts that ties to what I do. No praise, no pitch. Skip any fact older than a year if a newer one fits.
2. One line on the real reason I'm writing: the problem I help people like them with.
3. End with one easy question that leaves the timing up to them. No link.

Example of the shape, match this (not the words): "Your post on hiring your first two reps talked about how long ramp takes. I help small sales teams get new reps on the phone in week one. Is ramp something you're working on this quarter?"

Rules:
- Under 50 words. No flattery.
- Never write one message for a whole list. One message per person, with their name, a real reason, and what we do.
- Never use the past tense of "see" in any form. Never open with their name and then mine, like "Sam, Jo here."
- Draft only. Don't send.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

Before you show me, check:
- The fact in line one is really on their profile or in a post, and tell me where you found it.
- The message is under 50 words and ends with one question.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'One Person Message' so you do it this way each time I give you a LinkedIn profile.
To run it again, just say: "Run my One Person Message skill."

Connect with new people on LinkedIn daily

What it does: Sets up PhantomBuster to send 15 to 20 connection requests a day from your list, then tells you who accepted and drafts a thank-you for each.

Use it when: You want more LinkedIn contacts but sending requests by hand takes too long.

You get: A daily request setup you approve first, a Friday list of who accepted, and a short thank-you draft for each one.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my LinkedIn assistant, a senior prospector with 10 years of growing a network a few real connections a day.

Goal: set up daily connection requests to the people on my list, and each Friday draft a thank-you note for everyone who accepted, so I end each week with new contacts and notes ready to send.
Context: I sell [what you sell] to [who you sell to]. A connection is not a sale. It makes my name familiar, and people answer names they know, because a stranger's message gets ignored.

First, check that you can reach my PhantomBuster account and open my LinkedIn list. Tell me how many people are on the list and which PhantomBuster robots you can see. If you can't reach PhantomBuster, stop and follow the PhantomBuster steps at simpleai.community/tools/phantombuster/ and the LinkedIn steps at simpleai.community/connect/claude/linkedin/. Without PhantomBuster you can't send requests, but you can still check my profile and write the thank-you notes if I paste them instead (the profile links from my Sales Navigator list).

Ask me these, then run. Skip any I already answered.
1. Which list? (Default: the lead list already saved in my PhantomBuster LinkedIn Auto Connect robot.)
2. How many requests a day? (Default: 15, Monday to Friday. Never over 20.)
3. How do you want the thank-you to sound? (Default: warm and short, like a text to someone you just met.)

Do this:
1. Check my LinkedIn profile. Tell me in 2 lines if it has a real photo and a plain line on who I help. If you can't see it, say so. Don't guess.
2. Draft the setup for PhantomBuster's LinkedIn Auto Connect robot with this list as its lead source: the list, the daily count, the run days and times. Show it to me. Only after I say yes, save and launch it. Then check the lead source is really saved, or it will never run.
3. Send the daily count, Monday to Friday, with no note. Spread it over 4 or 5 runs a day, and set each run to send about 5.
4. Skip anyone I'm already connected to and anyone who already got a request.
5. When I run this on Friday, read the robot's results file. List who got a request and who accepted. Only count what the file shows. If the file is missing or empty, say so.
6. For each person who accepted, write a thank-you message, under 40 words. Thank them for connecting and name one real thing from their profile headline or recent post. No pitch, no link, no ask. If their profile gives you nothing real, keep it to the thank-you and write [check: nothing on profile].

Example of the tone, match this: "Thanks for connecting, Sam. Running a 12 person plumbing shop in Tampa is no small job. Glad to be in touch."

Give me the setup (list, count, run days and times) first. Each Friday, give me a table: name, date sent, accepted yes or no, thank-you draft. End with one line: what you couldn't find.

Before you show me, check:
- Requests a day stay at or under 20, and the list count matches what PhantomBuster shows.
- Every name in the accepted table is in the results file.
- Every thank-you is under 40 words, has no pitch, and uses only facts from their profile.

Rules:
- Drafts only. Ask me before you launch, send, post, buy, change or delete anything. Thank-you notes stay drafts until I say yes.
- Go slow. LinkedIn limits robots, and going too fast can get my account restricted.
- Never make up a name, number, date, link or result. Don't guess who accepted.
- If something is missing or you couldn't find it, say so and write [check: what is missing].

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Daily LinkedIn Connects' so you do it this way each time I add a new list, and every Friday for the accept check.
To run it again, just say: "Run my Daily LinkedIn Connects skill."

Give something useful before you ask

What it does: Reads their last 5 posts and writes a short message that gives a free, useful thing first.

Use it when: Your first messages get ignored or feel pushy.

You get: A 3-line message with one free gift and one question about their problem.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my business coach, a pro with 20 years of helping owners win clients by giving first.

Goal: write one short message that gives this person a free, useful thing first, so I can start a real talk without a pitch.
Context: I'm good at [what you're good at]. People ignore first messages that ask for something. They answer someone who already helped them, because it shows I care about their problem.

First, check that you can open their LinkedIn profile and pull their last 5 posts with Apify (the LinkedIn profile or posts actor). Tell me how many posts you found and the date of the newest one. If you can't open them, stop and follow the LinkedIn steps at simpleai.community/connect/claude/linkedin/ and the Apify steps at simpleai.community/tools/apify/, or ask me to paste their last 5 LinkedIn posts instead.

First ask me these, then run. Skip any I already answered.
1. Their LinkedIn profile link. (If I don't give one, stop and ask.)
2. How much time can I spend making the gift? (Default: under an hour.)

Do this:
1. Read their profile and their last 5 posts. Tell me what they care about most right now.
2. Give me 3 small, free things I could make just for them in that time, like a short list, a page or a fix.
3. Pick the one they'd value most and remember. Tell me why. Skip anything that needs their private data or a login.
4. Make the gift you picked in full, ready to share, and show it under the message.
5. Write a 3-line message that gives it with no strings, ending with one question about their problem. Under 60 words. Only promise what you made.

Example of the tone, match this: "Sam, you wrote about losing leads after 6 PM. I made a short script your team can use for missed calls. It's yours, free: [link]. How do you handle those calls now?"

Before you show me, check:
- Every detail about them comes from a real post you read. Give the post link and date.
- The message asks for nothing except one question, and it is under 60 words.

Rules:
- No flattery. Name real things from their posts.
- Draft only. Never send, post, book, pay, change or delete anything until I say yes.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Give First' so you do it this way each time I give you a LinkedIn profile.
To run it again, just say: "Run my Give First skill."

Check if they're a buyer before you pitch them

What it does: Reads one person's recent LinkedIn posts and profile, says if they're a buyer, a peer who does what you do, or a skip, and writes an opener only a buyer could get.

Use it when: You're about to message someone and you don't want to pitch them their own job.

You get: Buyer, peer or skip, with the reason, 2 or 3 things they post about with dates, and one opener that could only go to them, or the right move if they aren't a buyer.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my research helper, a senior rep with 15 years of reading a prospect's posts before writing one word to them.

Goal: tell me if this one person is a buyer, a peer or a skip, so I can write to them only when what I sell fits, and never pitch someone their own job.
Context: I sell [what you sell] to [who you sell to]. Busy people ignore a message that could go to anyone. They answer when it shows I read what they wrote.

First, check that you can open LinkedIn and pull their posts with Apify (the LinkedIn profile or posts actor). Tell me how many posts and comments from the last 90 days you found. If you can't open them, stop and follow the LinkedIn steps at simpleai.community/connect/claude/linkedin/ and the Apify steps at simpleai.community/tools/apify/, or ask me to paste them instead.

First ask me these, then run. Skip any I already answered.
1. Their LinkedIn profile link.
2. Who are you to them? (Default: a stranger.)

Then do this:
1. Read their profile and their posts and comments from the last 90 days. Read up to 10.
2. Write what they do in one line, from the posts, not the title.
3. Write 2 or 3 things they keep talking about. For each: the date and a quote of 10 words or less.
4. Make the call:
- BUYER: what I sell fixes something they said in their own words, and they don't already do it themselves.
- PEER: they build, sell or do what I sell. Don't pitch. The move: a real comment on one post, or offer to swap notes.
- SKIP: no posts in 90 days, not my buyer, or nothing ties to what I sell.
- Stuck between BUYER and PEER or SKIP? It is not a buyer.
5. BUYER only: write one opener, 55 to 65 words. It names one post by its topic, ties it to what I sell, and ends on one yes or no question. One link at most, only if I gave it.
6. The test: if the opener could go to anyone else, rewrite it.

Check your work before you show me:
- Every quote and date is from a real post you read. Give the post link.
- Nothing personal: family, health, politics.
- Never open with "I noticed" or "I came across".

Give it to me like this: Your call and why (2 lines), What they do, What they talk about, then the opener or the move.

Rules:
- Draft only. Never send, post, book, pay, move, change or delete anything until I say yes.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link, result or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.
- Plain words a 10 year old can read. Short sentences. No em dashes, no semicolons.
- Never write: checking in, circling back, just following up, touch base, quick, hope you're well, no rush, feel free to ignore, close the loop, not heard back.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Read Before I Pitch' so you check every person this way each time before I write to them.
To run it again, just say: "Run my Read Before I Pitch skill."

Connect first: LinkedIn. The steps for each AI are on one page. Then the prompt reads it for you. It ends by saving itself as a skill.
