Connection Response / Workflow SOP

Objective: Turn accepted LinkedIn connections into qualified 15-minute coffee chats.

1. Message After Acceptance

Message within 5–60 minutes of the connection being accepted.

Send:

Howdy {{First Name}}. Glad we got connected.

We help agencies put more billable client work through the team they already have without quality falling apart.

If {{Agency Name}} landed five good accounts next week, could your current team absorb them?

Then wait.

2. Handle the Response

They cannot absorb the work

That's exactly why I asked.

Callisto moves first-draft production upstream so your creative team starts at refinement instead of creation.

Same team. More billable work.

Worth 15 minutes to see whether it could work inside {{Agency Name}}?

They can absorb the work

Interesting. What's allowed you to create that much capacity?

If their answer reveals a constraint — overtime, outsourcing, heavy editing, slower turnaround, additional hiring, founder involvement, etc. — continue:

Got it. That's actually in our lane.

Worth 15 minutes to compare what you're doing now against how we're approaching it?

If they've genuinely solved the capacity problem, stop selling.

They ask what Callisto does

Answer directly, then ask for the meeting if relevant.

They ask for the website

Send it.

They ask for pricing

Tell them the pilot starts at $4,444.

They aren't interested

Thank them and stop.
