The Challenge: Before SalesRobot
Before streamlining his outreach, Grant struggled with the common trap of over-engineering his sequences, which led to technical bottlenecks and low engagement.
Over-Complicated Sequencing
Grant's early mistake was trying to get too clever with complex multi-step sequences that ultimately confused the process.
Technical Configuration Errors
Incorrect background settings caused his outreach to back up, leading to inconsistent volume and wasted effort.
The Volume-Target Mismatch
He was only sending 10 reach-outs a day while trying to secure 30 connections, creating a significant gap in his growth goals.
Immediate Pitch Rejection
Early attempts at selling too quickly often resulted in silence, as prospects had no prior trust or familiarity with his brand.
The Solution:
No-Agenda Networking with SalesRobot

"I am getting leads from LinkedIn with very little involvement from my side. It's like having few assistants/robots doing the admin work."

Yes. SalesRobot uses residential IPs and mobile APIs, so your actions look completely natural. This makes it safer than tools like Expandi or Waalaxy, and our users have reported zero bans for months.
Trials are meant to see the proof of functionality, which in our case means running a campaign. To get the best results, we recommend you spend 5 minutes to set up a campaign after you sign up. You'd be surprised how many people don't do this.
You can like their most recent post, comment on it automatically, follow them, send them a connection request, automatically follow up with them and yeah, endorse their skills!
You can import people from LinkedIn Sales Nav search, a normal LinkedIn Search, or upload with a CSV, or you can DM LinkedIn group members or event attendees if you want!
Did I mention that you can fetch all the people who commented on a particular LinkedIn post and request to connect with them?
We fully comply with LinkedIn limits and you can send up to 75 connection requests a day. Additionally you can send up to 40 InMails a day to open profiles without using any InMail credits.
If you've got multiple LinkedIn accounts you want to manage (client accounts for example), you can do that by just adding them like you added the first one.
