LinkedIn outreach guides

Practical, specific guides on LinkedIn automation, prospecting, personalisation and booking meetings. Written by a sales leader, not a content farm.

These are the guides we wish existed when we were running SDR teams: specific numbers, worked examples, and the parts most articles skip because they are inconvenient.

Start with the ICP guide if your acceptance rate is under 25 percent, since that is a targeting problem and no amount of rewriting will fix it. Start with the connection request guide if your targeting is fine but nobody is accepting. Read the limits guide before you configure any automation tool, whichever one you end up using.
