The problem it solves

You're manually looking up prospect after prospect on LinkedIn, checking if you're already connected, and typing out the same personalized invitation over and over. Growing your network this way is slow and easy to lose track of.

Who it fits

A recruiter, sales rep, or business development professional building their LinkedIn network systematically.

How it works

  1. You add prospects and their LinkedIn links to a spreadsheet
  2. The automation checks each one for an existing connection
  3. It skips existing connections and sends a personalized invite to new ones
  4. It updates your spreadsheet to show which invitations went out
What you get

Connections that turn into real conversations

You build your LinkedIn network automatically, sending personalized invitations to new prospects while skipping people you already know.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet showing invitation status for every prospect, plus sent connection requests.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and a browser automation 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.
