How to get a networking call (Part 2): running it in the Recruiting Hub

Part 1 ends on a problem. You should be testing your templates, and almost nobody does, because doing it by hand means keeping a spreadsheet of every send and every reply and then keeping it honest for two months.

This is the half that is a tool rather than a rule. Everything below is the same workflow Part 1 describes, with the bookkeeping done for you.

Running the whole thing in the Recruiting Hub

This is exactly what the Recruiting Hub is for, and the outreach side of it was built around the workflow above.

Open any contact and the composer is already filled in from their record. You pick where the message is going, Email, LinkedIn message, or the note attached to a connection request, then which of the six situations you are in.

The composer on a contact. Channel, then situation, then which version, with the one thing that differs between A and B named underneath.

Two details there matter more than they look.

Every A/B pair differs on exactly one thing, and the composer tells you what it is. In the screenshot, option A makes a bounded ask and option B makes an open one, and nothing else between them changes. That is deliberate. Two versions that differ in five ways produce a result you cannot act on: B won, but was it the shorter ask, the warmer opening, or naming the group? Change one thing and the answer means something.

The message merges from the contact record, so the firm and the group are already in the text and only the parts about you are left to fill in.

The same template with the contact's firm and group merged in. What is left in brackets is the part only you can write.

Notice how short it is, and that the ask is fifteen minutes with three questions. That is the shape from the rules in Part 1, not a coincidence.

Frequently asked

How do you track networking outreach?
Record who you contacted, when, through which channel, and what you said, and make sure the tracker can hold statuses that are not forward motion — no response and declined. A list that only models progress teaches you nothing about what is not working, and at any real volume you will not remember which of forty contacts has gone quiet.
How do you A/B test a networking email?
Keep two versions that differ on exactly one thing — a bounded ask against an open one, say — and change nothing else. Two versions that differ in five ways produce a result you cannot act on, because you cannot tell which difference caused it.
How many messages do you need to send before a reply rate means anything?
At least eight sends of the same template. One reply from two sends is not a fifty percent reply rate, it is two sends, and rewriting your outreach around it is optimising for noise.
Should a reply still count if it arrives weeks later?
Not if you are measuring wording. A useful rule is that a reply counts only if it arrives within about two weeks of the message and before you wrote again, so a banker answering on day forty is not credited to a template he had long forgotten.
What does the SuperdayReps Recruiting Hub do for networking?
It holds your contacts by firm, fills the outreach composer from each contact's record, tracks which template and variant you sent, attributes replies back to them, and tells you who has gone quiet against the right cadence for their seniority as well as which firms you are tracking with nobody at them.
