The Problem
Modern B2B buyers are increasingly difficult to reach through single-channel outreach. Email inboxes are crowded, and many decision-makers have developed sophisticated filtering habits that prevent cold emails from ever being seen. Meanwhile, LinkedIn has become a primary professional communication channel, but manual LinkedIn outreach is extremely time-consuming and difficult to scale. Sales teams attempting to coordinate email and LinkedIn touchpoints manually often create disjointed experiences where prospects receive conflicting messages or overwhelming contact frequency. The lack of coordination between channels results in lower response rates and damaged professional relationships.
The Solution
Woodpecker's multi-channel sequencing capabilities enable sales teams to create coordinated campaigns that engage prospects across email and LinkedIn simultaneously. Users design unified sequences that combine email touches with LinkedIn connection requests, profile views, and InMail messages, all orchestrated through a single workflow. The platform ensures appropriate spacing between touchpoints across channels, preventing prospect fatigue while maximizing visibility. When a prospect engages on either channel, Woodpecker automatically adjusts the sequence to prevent redundant outreach. The AI personalization engine maintains consistent messaging themes across channels while adapting format and tone for each platform's communication norms. Sales teams gain visibility into prospect engagement across all channels through unified analytics.
