The automation of LinkedIn refers to the use of tools to automatically send connection requests, follow-up messages, relevant content and any other activity that you would otherwise have to perform manually on the platform.Tools like Leadin allow you to safely put your lead generation and prospecting campaigns on autopilot while you focus on other parts of your business.Here’s why you should consider using LinkedIn prospecting tools:
  • They help you save time because you won’t have to manually connect with your prospects and send connection requests one by one.
  • They bring personalization to the mass approach. This way, your interactions with users and outreach messages will appear much more natural, no matter how many people you contact.
  • They automatically generate reports for your LinkedIn prospecting campaigns. This way you can instantly see how many of your prospects reacted, responded and converted.
  • A/B testing becomes easier, since you can experiment with different approaches and follow-up templates to see which ones get the most replies.
  • They integrate with other marketing and lead generation tools. By combining your LinkedIn automation tool with other marketing tools like Zapier and Integromat, you can bring a truly multichannel approach to your LinkedIn marketing.
