Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use LinkedIn for B2B lead generation?

The most effective B2B LinkedIn approach: (1) optimize your profile to speak to your buyer's problems, not your job history, (2) post 3x per week with content your ideal customer finds valuable, (3) engage consistently with your target accounts' posts before sending outreach, (4) send personalized connection requests referencing specific content from their profile, (5) follow up with value — not a pitch — within 48 hours of connecting.

What is LinkedIn Social Selling Index (SSI)?

LinkedIn SSI is a score from 0-100 that measures your social selling effectiveness across 4 components: establishing your professional brand, finding the right people, engaging with insights, and building relationships. Scores above 70 are considered strong. Salespeople with high SSI scores generate 45% more opportunities than those with low scores.

How many LinkedIn messages can I send per day for sales?

LinkedIn limits free accounts to approximately 100 connection requests per week. LinkedIn Sales Navigator allows more. For InMails (to non-connections), free accounts get 0 — you need Premium or Sales Navigator. To avoid being flagged as spam, personalize every message and limit cold outreach to 20-30 new contacts per day.
