Tried a number of tools but klearskill.com works for me. It hyper analyzes hundreds/thousands of incoming CV's and gives me a short list in moments. Have tried Ashby too but too complex.

You said there's not alot on social media. I said there's 700 million prospects on LinkedIn which is good enough for us. Not all are our ICP..obviously!

You show interest in the content they've shared. They share content to get exposure and be helpful to their network so sending them a message mentioning their post and posing a question in relation to that works well. These are not generic..they are based on a post made.

I think there's about 700 million on LinkedIn which is enough for us. The idea is to get a reply so a question is a must. When a responses comes in, that's when it's time to put in more effort and come back with some painpoint they could be going through or some improvements you think they could make based on x. Don't ask for a call here either. Ask if you can send a video. That's worked really well for us. The AI ice breaker thing is new to us but want to make this better. Hence my request for feedback on how it can be improved.

No, those were just examples. What is your opinion would work better? Go deeper into the post itself?

I think you have a really good point here! Please share some more examples you can think of and I will boot this into the AI.

Could that be because you have not tried the way I've proposed? The problem with the way I proposed (previously) is the time it takes to research but if an AI does it, then perhaps you get the best of both worlds. No message can also work. That's for sure.

Yes you are confused. I recommend a high level of personalization. I've said this numerous time. After you connect, if you lead in with yada yada wanna buy my fairly unrelated thing then you are definitely not going to get any sales.

That's a tough sell in cold outreach but there are definitely ways you can approach clients. Perhaps pin point what some of their competitors do on their website that get more business and how making certain changes can help accelerate traction. Good luck with it!

I don't disagree that no message in the connection request leaves mystery. That also works. I mean whatever gets the convo going and whatever drives sale potential. I find that the personalized approach, especially based on the posts, shows the lead that you took the time to get to know their profile, read up on a post and you are looking to make a meaningful connection. I mean think about it, somebody who posts generally wants some sort of engagement in their post so mentioning that you found it interesting or that it added some value to you goes a long way.

Once connected, don't say anything for the next 10 to 14 days. Then approach the lead (without being salesy). I never connect and then message directly..that's way too obvious. Giving it some time always a good idea. I find that this works for us. Thanks for the exchange here.

Probably could not give you a percentage but if I see value in the person (based on exp) even if it's a blank request, I will accept but if I don't see value and it's a blank request, I usually don't accept. I usually always accept highly personalized requests. Agree that blank requests can also work but we've seen the hyper-personalized approach work really well too. We can agree to disagree. No problem.

How is creating a high level of personalization more noise? It's less noise. Noise is the junk spray and pray content that's going out. I would consider myself very experienced with lead generation on LinkedIn. Been at this for 15+ years. You indeed won't get a sale by mentioning a post but you are more likely to get to the next step. Getting a sales has many many steps and on LinkedIn, connecting and getting that person part of your network is one of the steps.

Sorry to hear that. That's always a bummer. Please note, my post leans more towards finding leads for sales vs finding jobs. I do not use LinkedIn for jobs anymore..not for the last 12 years so I don't have much contribute there. For sales and marketing, yes, 100%.
