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 at most 85 invites a week at full pace, so LinkedIn suits 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 never starts a campaign by itself. 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 doesn't use your LinkedIn account.

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 free LinkedIn accounts only get a few notes a month. Pick Note to add one, up to 200 characters.

   • LinkedIn Message. Pick Template to write it yourself, or Write It for Me to let Revnu write one 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 never more than 8 an hour. 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 you ask for outside a sequence follow the Connection Requests and Messages switches in Settings > Agent. On Pro, both start on Ask Me First. 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 are fixed. Nobody, including Revnu's team, can raise them.
