The problem it solves

Growing a LinkedIn network by hand means sending the same connection requests and follow-ups one at a time, and keeping track of who replied in your head or a messy spreadsheet. It's easy to lose leads or forget to follow up.

Who it fits

A sales rep, recruiter, or agency running LinkedIn outreach at scale.

How it works

  1. Leads marked as new in a spreadsheet get a connection request on LinkedIn
  2. The system checks daily whether each request was accepted
  3. Once connected, a pre-written message is sent automatically
  4. Follow-up messages go out on a schedule if there's no reply
  5. Every status and timestamp is logged back to the spreadsheet
What you get

LinkedIn outreach that keeps moving on its own

Your LinkedIn outreach runs itself, sending connection requests and timely follow-ups while every reply gets tracked automatically for you.

What you get

A spreadsheet tracking every lead's connection status, messages sent, and replies.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a LinkedIn outreach API subscription.

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.
