How this workflow automation works?

ChatGPT

Expandi

Let's break it down

This is a quick and easy method to quickly get personalized Icebreakers for each LinkedIn profile you wanna reach out to.

I know, this is not the best way to do that, but if you have a huuuge list, then better this than spending entire day personalizigin 20-30 Icebreakers.

Anyway, let's get started.

For this automation to works, you'll need three things:

  • PhantomBuster account
  • OpenAI account
  • ChatGPT account
  • Expandi account

Let's break this down step-by-step.

Making a sheet with leads

[] Open your Google Drive and create a new spreadsheet

[] In your sheet, name the first column "LinkedIn profiles"

[] In each line, copy/paste the URL of LinkedIn profiles you want to scrape. Your sheet will look like this (but with more entries):

[] Make the sheet publicly visible through the link

Creating your phantom

[] Open PhantomBuster

[] Find the "LinkedIn Profile Scraper Phantom"

[] Paste the URL of your publicly visible sheet

[] Connect your LinkedIn account by following the instructions.

[] Set the frequency to 50-70 profiles a day (be careful with this, don't be too greedy)

[] Run your phantom

[] Download results

[] Create a new sheet in your previous Google spreadsheet

[] Click on File > Import > Upload > Upload the .csv file you downloaded from PhantomBuster

[] As an "import location" choose "Create new sheet(s)" and click on the 'Import data" button

Congrats! Your sheet will now look similar to this:

[] Let's clean this sheet. Delete all columns so only these five can remain:

Installing ChatGPT in our sheet

Let's connect our prospecting sheet with ChatGPT.

[] Go to "Extensions" in the menu > Add-ons > Get add-ons

[] Type "GPT" in the search and click on GPT for Sheets by Talarian.

[] Now click on the "Install" button

[] Go back to your Google Spreadsheet, click on "Extensions" in the menu > hover over the GPT extension you just installed > click "Open"

[] Follow the set-up steps on your right side and add your OpenAI API key (You'll need to have an OpenAI account to do this)

[] Once you finish your set-up, create a new column in your spreadsheet and name it "Icebreaker." Like this:

[] In the first cell of the "Icebreaker" column, type down this function: =GPT("summarise in one sentence and start the sentence with I saw. Sentence is about him, so use you pronouns", C2) - where C2 should be the first row in the "description" column.

[] Copy it for every record you have in your database.

You spreadsheet will now look like this:

Congrats! You have an entire list of prospects with email and an icebreaker.

It's time for the outreach now! :)

Importing your list to Expandi

[] Download your spreadsheet as a .csv file

[] Open your Expandi account.

[] Go to your chosen campaign:

[] Add new people via .csv:

Now all is left to do is to create your sequence, and you're ready to go. Check some of our outreach sequence templates.
