The problem it solves

Growing your LinkedIn network means sending connection requests one by one and writing a unique opening message for each person, which is slow and easy to fall behind on. Generic requests get ignored, but personalizing every single one by hand doesn't scale.

Who it fits

A recruiter, salesperson, or marketer trying to grow LinkedIn connections at scale without sounding generic.

How it works

  1. A list of LinkedIn contacts is loaded from a Google Sheet
  2. Each contact's profile information is retrieved
  3. The system drafts a personalized icebreaker message for that contact
  4. A connection request with the icebreaker is sent on LinkedIn
  5. The sheet is updated to track who has been contacted
What you get

Connection requests sent with a personal opener

Every contact on your list gets a LinkedIn connection request with a personalized icebreaker written for them.

What you get

Sent LinkedIn connection requests with personalized icebreakers, tracked in a Google Sheet.

What you need

A Unipile account and a Google Sheets 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.
