The problem it solves

Manually searching LinkedIn for the right prospects and sending connection requests one by one takes hours every week. It's also easy to lose track of who you've already reached out to.

Who it fits

Sales professionals or small businesses building a lead pipeline on LinkedIn.

How it works

  1. You fill out a form describing your target audience
  2. The system searches LinkedIn for matching profiles
  3. It checks whether each profile is already a connection
  4. New connection requests are sent to the rest, up to your daily limit
  5. Results are logged to a tracking sheet
What you get

Warm LinkedIn connections built for you

You get a steady stream of personalized LinkedIn connection requests sent to exactly the audience you describe, building your network for you.

What you get

A list of new LinkedIn connection requests sent to qualified prospects, tracked in a sheet.

What you need

A LinkedIn account, a Google Sheets account, an OpenAI account, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
