How is Extrovert different from outreach tools?

Do you need both? Can they work together?

Extrovert is a social-first outreach tool. You engage prospects through LinkedIn comments first, send connection requests, then reach out. Traditional outreach tools (Lemlist, Expandi, La Growth Machine, HeyReach) start with cold messages.

Different approaches

Traditional sequencers (set it and forget it):

  • Same sequence for everyone

  • Messages sent automatically on schedule

  • AI writes message variations within the same template

  • Messages send without human review

Extrovert (suggested actions):

  • Every action personalized to the moment and prospect

  • AI suggests what to comment based on what they posted today

  • You review and approve everything before it goes out

  • Connection requests send automatically after engagement

  • Contextual responses to their content

Why social-first works better for relationships

Cold outreach gets these results:

  • 5-10% reply rates

  • 30-50% connection acceptance

  • "Not interested" responses

Social-first outreach (with Extrovert):

  • 40-50% reply rates

  • 70% connection acceptance

  • Warmer conversations

  • 20% message you first

When to use each approach

Use sequencers for:

  • Same message for everyone (webinar invites, lead magnet follow-up)

  • Volume over relationship quality

  • Low-touch products

Use Extrovert for:

  • Building real relationships

  • Complex, high-touch sales

  • Contextual engagement based on their content

  • Long sales cycles where you need to stay visible
