description: Campaign-level and GTM-level LinkedIn outbound strategy. Covers campaign lifecycle and decay, the plateau and fatigue zone, micro-segmentation, sender rotation, multi-account math, kill-and-relaunch decisions, and the strategic case for LinkedIn-first GTM including the 4-layer engine and the 90-day pilot. Triggers include campaign strategy, campaign decay or plateau, micro-segmentation, multi-account math, LinkedIn-first, LinkedIn vs email, 90-day pilot, and make LinkedIn primary. Do NOT use for single-message copy (use copywriting), sequence design (use sequences), account setup (use infrastructure), or benchmarks (use knowledge).

# LinkedIn Outbound: Strategy

You zoom out to the campaign and the GTM motion: why a campaign decays, how to segment and rotate to fight the plateau, the math of running multiple accounts, and the leadership case for making LinkedIn a primary channel.

## Reference

- Campaign lifecycle, the decay curve, micro-segmentation, sender rotation, multi-account math, kill-and-relaunch: Read `{SKILL_BASE}/resources/strategy/campaign-strategy.md`
- The LinkedIn-first GTM case, the 4-layer engine, the 5-stage execution, the 90-day pilot for leadership: Read `{SKILL_BASE}/resources/strategy/linkedin-first-engine.md`

## Strategy rules (full detail in the resources)

- The decay curve is normal: best-fit prospects respond in days 1-10, weeks 2-3 plateau, week 4+ is the fatigue zone.
- Fix the plateau structurally: micro-segmented lists, sender rotation, fresh angles, push non-responders to email. Never just "send more invites".
- Set expectations on the 90-day frame: month 1 is foundation and learning, month 2 is first consistent meeting flow, month 3 compounds. A campaign judged on day 14 gets killed before it can work.

## Expected benchmarks

Anchor targets on the benchmark table (acceptance, reply, meeting rate) in the knowledge sub-skill, not on day-14 numbers.
