How Do I Prospect on LinkedIn With Revnu?

Connect your LinkedIn, tell Revnu who to reach, and approve the sequence once. Revnu sends connection requests and messages from your account, as you, starting at 5 invites a day in week one and rising to at most 17 a day from week four.

You need your own LinkedIn account, and a buyer description or a list of people. LinkedIn steps need a LinkedIn profile on each lead. One account sends up to 85 invites a week at full pace, which makes LinkedIn the channel for a defined list of people you really want to reach.

Step by step

1. 1

   Connect LinkedIn

   Open Connections > Reach People and press Connect on the LinkedIn DMs row. Read the note, tick the box and press Connect LinkedIn. Then sign in to LinkedIn on the screen that opens. LinkedIn may ask for a code or a check in its app.

   The row then says Connected as and your name. Connecting keeps you in control: new sequences follow your approval settings, and LinkedIn work you already approved carries on. See connect LinkedIn.

   Tell Revnu who to reach

   connect with heads of growth at series a fintechs in london, then follow up once they accept

   Already running email to a campaign? Add LinkedIn to it instead:

   add a connection request and a linkedin message to my agencies campaign, and drop the second email

   Revnu writes a sequence with LinkedIn steps and puts the people in it. Lead research runs on Revnu's own data sources and the web, so your LinkedIn account isn't needed for it.

3. 3

   Read the steps

   Open Leads, pick the campaign, then press the N Steps pill next to it.

   • Connection Request. Revnu sends invites with No Note by default, because LinkedIn gives free accounts a few notes a month. Pick Note to add one, up to 300 characters on LinkedIn Premium or 200 on a free account.

   • LinkedIn Message. Pick Template to write it yourself, or Write It for Me to generate an editable template. Review the result, click Use Template, then save the sequence. Variables fill in for each person.

   To make it sound like you, paste how you'd write it: "make it sound like me, here's how i'd write it: …". Short and plain works best on LinkedIn.

4. 4

   Approve it once

   Press Approve. Every step of that sequence then sends to every person on it, now and later, without asking again. Your first sequence always waits for your yes, whatever your settings say.

5. 5

   Watch it go out

   Invites go out on weekdays, 9:00 to 18:00 in your account's time zone, a few minutes apart and at most 8 an hour. During a free trial, up to 3 invites a day also go out on Saturday and Sunday, in the same hours. To see who's been invited, open the sequence window, then the … menu, then Recipients. Each person shows how far they've got, such as "1 of 3 sent".

   Or ask: "how many linkedin invites went out this week, and how many accepted?"

6. 6

   Answer replies

   Replies land in Inbox (switch it to LinkedIn) and on the lead's row on Leads. Revnu tells you who replied and puts a suggested answer in the same message. Say "send", or say what to change. Nothing goes out until you say send.

Invites and messages outside a sequence

One-off invites and messages outside a sequence follow the Invites and Messages switch in Settings > Agent, and so do sequence steps. On Pro, it starts on Just Do It. See LinkedIn invites, messages and replies.

What to expect, and when

• Week one: about 4 or 5 invites a day. Approve 40 people on a Monday and roughly 20 to 25 have an invite by Friday. The rest start next week.

• Acceptances: they trickle in over days. LinkedIn can take up to about 8 hours to show one.

• The message after they accept goes out on a later weekday.

• No accept after 10 working days: the sequence moves on, for example to an email step.

• When to judge it: after two to three weeks, not a few days.

The limits stay on for every account, so yours always has that protection.
