vikaasFrom first call to first qualified conversation: fourteen days.
No long implementations. No "platform onboarding." No sales-engineering calls. The same predictable cadence we've run forty-plus times across India and GCC engagements. Here's exactly what happens, day by day.
A 30-minute call. Two outcomes.
The discovery call has one job: figure out whether Vikaas is a fit for your specific situation. We say no to roughly 25% of teams we talk to — usually because they don't have a clear ICP yet, or because their volume is too low to justify a managed pipeline.
We scope the pipeline together
We tell you what to fix first
Five working days. Three deliverables.
If we're a fit, week 1 is about getting the engagement actually ready to ship rather than just signed. Most agencies take 3–4 weeks to do what we do in five working days.
Kickoff
60-min working session: confirm ICP segments, refine target account list logic, identify the LinkedIn profile(s) outreach will run from. You leave with clarity on what's happening.
Account list
We build the target account list — sourcing from LinkedIn Sales Navigator, your existing CRM (for re-engagement), and our buyer-intent signal layer where applicable. Typical size: 800–1,500 accounts for sales, 400–800 profiles for hiring.
Messaging drafts
First-touch, second-touch, and follow-up message variants drafted in your brand voice. Length, tone, and CTA calibrated to your segment. You review.
Integration
CRM or ATS connected. Dashboard and Slack channel set up. Conversation routing logic agreed. Your team gets a 15-min walkthrough.
Outreach goes live Day 8. First reply usually by Day 14.
Launch is uneventful by design. Connection requests start going out at a conservative pace, follow-ups trigger automatically based on connection acceptance, and replies route to your hot-lead Slack the moment they're classified as high-intent.

What changes month over month. The pipeline gets sharper.
The first 30 days establish baseline. The next 60 are where the engagement compounds — better messaging, sharper targeting, more reply data to learn from. By month 3, most pipelines run at 1.8–2.5× the volume of month 1.
Friday refinement
Segment refinement
Strategy sync
Honest review
What we do. What you do.
A clear line between Vikaas's work and your team's work. We don't blur it. You're never wondering "wait, are they doing this or are we?"
| Vikaas does | Your team does | |
|---|---|---|
| Build the target account list | Yes | Just reviews |
| Write the message drafts | Yes (in your voice) | Reviews & approves |
| Run LinkedIn outreach end-to-end | Yes (connection, first msg, follow-up) | No |
| Reply to hot leads & book meetings | For sales: yes, in your voice up to meeting handoff | Closes the meeting |
| Run discovery / sales / interview calls | No | Yes — that's your job |
| Make the final hiring decision | No | Yes — always |
| Operate your CRM / ATS | Pushes data in via integration | Owns the system |
| Build the playbook for in-house handover | Yes — documented as we go | Owns it after handover |
Operational questions, answered.
Three blocks of about 10 minutes each:
- Your situation — current sales/hiring motion, what's working, what's not, what you've tried.
- Your ICP — who you sell to (or hire), why they buy (or join), what the message should sound like.
- Fit check — we tell you honestly whether Vikaas is the right answer. If not, we recommend what is.
No deck. No screen share. Just a conversation.
Every engagement has a named pipeline lead (your single point of contact), a messaging strategist (drafts and refines copy weekly), and one or more sourcing operators (run the LinkedIn execution). You see the pipeline lead in weekly reviews and have Slack access. The rest works in the background.
Setup (week 1): ~3 hours total — kickoff call (1hr), messaging review (1hr), integration walkthrough (30min), final approval (30min).
Ongoing: ~1 hour per week — weekly review call (30min), reading the Friday dashboard (10min), Slack engagement for hot leads (~20min).
After the three-month minimum, you can pause or end with 30 days' notice. We hand over the playbook, messaging library, and account list. The LinkedIn profiles stay yours (they always were). No clawbacks, no exit fees, no drama.
Outbound math compounds. Month 1 is establishing baseline; month 2 is refining; month 3 is when most pipelines hit their stride. Ending before month 3 doesn't give us a chance to actually multiply your pipeline — and pricing that for one-month trials wouldn't make sense for either of us.
Four protections:
- Conservative pacing — well under LinkedIn's observed rate limits
- Warm-up phases for new or low-activity profiles
- No third-party tool fingerprints (we don't use Phantombuster, Dux-Soup, etc.)
- Human-quality first messages — automation that reads automated gets restricted faster
Two-plus years of operating profiles continuously without restrictions across 40+ engagements.
