You commented OUTREACH — here's everything. The secret tool is revealed inside.

Full System Blueprint

The Outreach System That
Finds People Who Already Need You.

3 tools. Fully automated. Contacts the right people at the right time — researches them, writes a real email, sends it, follows up, and drafts every reply. You just take the meetings.

🔓 The Secret Tool — Revealed

The tool is PinchTab — a free, open-source browser automation engine built for AI agents. It controls a real Chrome browser in stealth mode, navigates LinkedIn, reads posts and profiles, and feeds the data directly to Claude. No paid data vendor. No API limits. No blocks.

Why Most Outreach Fails

It's not your copy. It's not your subject line. It's your list.

Most people contact whoever fits a demographic filter — job title, company size, industry. That's not targeting. That's guessing.

The wrong way

Buy a list of 10,000 names
Filter by title and industry
Swap in {first_name}
Blast and pray
2% reply rate, mostly unsubscribes

The right way

Find 50 people showing a signal today
They just posted about your problem
Claude writes a real email per person
You send to people who already care
Higher reply rate, better conversations

The shift: Stop targeting demographics. Start targeting behaviour. Someone who posted about a problem 2 days ago is infinitely more valuable than someone who fits a job title filter from a 6-month-old database.

You

Tool	Role in the system	Cost
PinchTab	Controls a stealth Chrome browser. Navigates LinkedIn, reads posts and profiles, extracts lead data without getting blocked.	Free / open source
Claude (API)	Reads each lead, visits their site, writes a unique email. Later reads replies and drafts responses.	~$0.003 per lead
Instantly	Sends emails via warmed inboxes. Tracks opens and replies. Fires follow-up sequences automatically.	$37–$97/month
n8n / Make	Runs the full loop every 6 hours. Connects all three tools without code.	$0–$20/month

Step 1 — Finding People Who Need You Today

PinchTab opens Chrome in stealth mode and navigates LinkedIn. It finds posts where people are talking about the problem you solve — right now, not 6 months ago.

What PinchTab does

Navigates to LinkedIn post URLs in stealth Chrome — no bot detection
Expands all comments and extracts the full page as clean text
Returns ~800 tokens per page — 10x cheaper than screenshot methods
Visits each commenter's profile and their company site
Passes all data to Claude as structured JSON

Install PinchTab

Terminal

# Install in one line
curl -fsSL https://pinchtab.com/install.sh | bash

# Start the server
pinchtab

# Log into LinkedIn once — session stays active
pinchtab nav https://linkedin.com

What you get per lead

Output — lead object

{
  "name": "Alex Morgan",
  "title": "Founder & CEO",
  "company": "Stackfield",
  "company_url": "https://stackfield.com",
  "linkedin": "linkedin.com/in/alexmorgan",
  "signal": "Posted: our outreach team costs more than it books",
  "signal_date": "2 days ago"
}

Why this works: The signal is the email. Someone who publicly posted about a problem 2 days ago is not a cold lead. They've already told the internet they need help. Your email is the answer to a question they already asked.

Step 2 — Claude Researches & Writes the Email

Claude receives the lead object. It visits their company site, reads what they actually do, and writes a unique email that opens with their specific signal.

Read the signal

Claude reads the LinkedIn post or comment. This becomes line 1 of the email — specific, not generic.

Visit their company site

PinchTab fetches the homepage. Claude reads what the company actually does — not just their name and industry tag.

Identify the angle

Claude connects their signal to what your service solves. Picks the most relevant pain point for this specific person.

Write the email

5 lines max. Unique per lead. Reads like a human wrote it — because Claude did, with real context behind every word.

Example output

Claude output — ready for Instantly

{
  "to": "[email protected]",
  "subject": "your post about outreach costs",
  "body": "Alex,\n\nYour post about outreach costing more than it books — that's exactly the problem we built around.\n\nWe automate the research, writing, and follow-up for teams like Stackfield.\n\nWorth 15 minutes this week?\n\n— [Name]"
}

Step 3 — Instantly Sends & Follows Up

The email gets pushed into Instantly automatically. From here nobody touches it.

Instantly configuration

Use 3–5 warmed inboxes with inbox rotation enabled
Cap at 40–50 sends per inbox per day — protects deliverability
Enable reply detection — stops follow-ups the moment someone responds
Follow-up 1 fires on day 3 — different angle, written by Claude upfront
Follow-up 2 fires on day 8 — one specific result, no pitch
Break-up email on day 14 — short, permission to say no

Follow-up sequence

Email	Day	Angle
Email 1	Day 0	Signal hook — references their post directly
Follow-up 1	Day 3	Different angle — outcome, not feature
Follow-up 2	Day 8	One specific result — no pitch
Break-up	Day 14	Short. Permission to say no.

Step 4 — Claude Handles Every Reply

When Instantly detects a reply, the automation fires. Claude reads the full thread and drafts your response. You see the draft. You approve it in 90 seconds.

Reply types Claude handles

Interested — Claude drafts a warm reply with your booking link
Not now — Claude acknowledges timing and asks when to reconnect
Wrong person — Claude asks who handles it and requests an intro
Unsubscribe — removed automatically, no reply drafted
Out of office — sequence paused until their return date

You stay in control. Nothing goes out without your approval. Claude drafts. You review. Average approval time is 90 seconds. Every meeting still comes through you — the system just does the work to get you there.

The Exact Prompts

Prompt 1 — Write the cold email

Claude API — System Prompt

You are writing a cold outreach email for a founder. You will receive a lead object with: name, title, company, company description, and a signal — something this person posted or did publicly that shows they have a relevant problem right now. Write a cold email that: - Opens with a direct, natural reference to their signal (not "I saw your post") - Connects their problem to a specific outcome your service delivers - Is 5 lines max in the body - Has one CTA: a 15-minute call - Never starts with "I" or "We" - Contains zero buzzwords or corporate language - Does not mention AI - Subject line: max 6 words, lowercase, conversational Return ONLY valid JSON: { "subject": string, "body": string } No markdown. No explanation.

Prompt 2 — Write follow-up 1

Claude API — Follow-Up Prompt

You are writing a follow-up cold email. You will receive the original email already sent. Do not repeat that angle. Write a follow-up that: - Takes a completely different angle — focus on a result, not a feature - Is 3 lines max - Never references the previous email - Never says "just following up" - Ends with the same CTA: a 15-minute call Return ONLY valid JSON: { "subject": string, "body": string }

Prompt 3 — Handle the reply

Claude API — Reply Handler

You are an outreach reply analyst. Read the full email thread below and: 1. Classify the reply as one of: INTERESTED | NOT_NOW | WRONG_PERSON | UNSUBSCRIBE | OUT_OF_OFFICE 2. Draft a response: - INTERESTED: warm, short, include booking link, suggest 2 time slots - NOT_NOW: 2 lines, acknowledge timing, ask when to reconnect - WRONG_PERSON: ask who handles this, request a brief intro - UNSUBSCRIBE: return empty string - OUT_OF_OFFICE: return empty string, extract return date if present Return ONLY valid JSON: { "classification": string, "draft": string, "return_date": string | null }

Why these prompts work: Every instruction removes a failure mode. "Never starts with I or We" stops the most common cold email opener. "Do not mention AI" keeps the email feeling human. "No buzzwords" removes the patterns spam filters and people both hate.
