Start with the alumni already at your ICP accounts

Find the people at your ICP accounts who went to your school or worked at your former company, and connect with a note about what you share. Once connected, ask one question about their work. A shared school or old team gets far more acceptances than a cold note. The Imagine AI agent finds the alumni and drafts each note for approval.

When it runs

People from your school or old company work at your ICP accounts.

One prompt. The agent runs the play.

The agent has its own computer and browser, so it finds the people and the news itself. It drafts every comment, connection note and message, and you approve what goes out. Use it when:

  • Your school or a former employer has a big network in your market.
  • You're starting outreach to a new segment.
  • Cold connection requests aren't getting accepted.

The skills behind this play.

The agent has its own computer and browser, so it does the legwork itself. Every skill is on for every play; these are the ones this play leans on.

[01]Used in this play

Writes in each person's voice

Drafts for the company page, founders, executives and employees from each person's best posts. Imagine AI started as the operating system for ghostwriting teams, so sounding like you is the core of the product.

[02]Used in this play

Has its own computer and browser

It does the legwork itself: finds the people, checks job changes, launches and funding news, reads the sources and fact-checks claims before anything ships.

[03]Used in this play

Engages for you

Comments, connection requests and messages on LinkedIn, aimed at the people your posts pull in who match your ICP.

[04]Used in this play

Finds the buyers in your audience

Matches everyone who engages to your ICP and hands sales a worked list every week.

[05]On

Designs the graphics

Multi-image posts, infographics and visuals from your brand kit, made in its own sandbox, with the right people and companies tagged.

[06]On

Runs one calendar for the team

Plan launches, sequence posts, schedule comments and edit together. Approvals sit with each person or route through one owner.

[07]On

Works from your content filesystem

Positioning, brand kit, decks, campaigns and compliance rules in one place it reads before every draft, remembered across threads.

[08]On

Turns what you have into posts

Events, podcast episodes, videos, decks and call notes become a week of posts across the team.

[09]On

Knows what works

Reads the public benchmark of 1,000+ B2B companies and tracks your competitors, so post types and formats follow your industry's data.

[10]On

Maps content to revenue

Connects to HubSpot or Salesforce and traces each closed deal back to its first content touch: post, person, deal stage moves.

[11]On

Plugs into your stack

Engager data over API and webhooks, and the benchmark over MCP for your own agents.

Step by step

The playbook lives as a file the agent reads. Edit it once and every run follows it.

Step 2 · Connect on what you share

  • A note about the school or team you share, and something specific about their path.

Step 3 · Ask about their work

  • Once connected, one question about how their team does the thing you help with.

Step 4 · Offer something back

  • Alumni networks work both ways: an intro, a benchmark or a referral.

Outline

  • 1What you share, in the first line.
  • 2One detail about their path.
  • 3No ask in the connection note.

Example from the run above

  • Hi Sarah, fellow Triton here! Saw you went from Warren to running growth at a fintech. Would love to connect.
  • Marcus, another UCSD econ grad in B2B marketing. Small world. Would like to connect.
  • Hey Priya! Also UCSD, also ended up in startups. Would love to hear how you got into product marketing.

Avoid

  • Using the school as a hook for an immediate pitch.
  • Notes that could go to anyone from the school.
  • Only taking, never offering.

Measure

  • Acceptance rate against cold notes.
  • Replies to the first question.
  • Intros to other people at the account.
