Media & Podcasting
50%
Reply Rate
One out of every two prospects engaged in a conversation, making this one of the highest-performing media campaigns on the platform.
54%
Acceptance Rate
Over half of his targeted prospects accepted his request, proving the power of a blank connection to a hyper-targeted audience.
18%
Follow-up Boost
His simple reminder messages successfully "woke up" nearly 20% of his leads who missed the first interaction.
The Challenge: Before SalesRobot
As a podcast host in the M&A space, spending hundreds of hours per episode, Adithya required honest feedback on his content but wasn't getting responses from viewers, so he needed a way to reach engaged listeners.
Lack of Consistency
Adithya admitted his mistake was that he sucked at consistency. That is the reason he is using the tool so that he can automate strategically.
Planning But Not Executing
Adithya planned everything from lead generation to sending cold emails or cold messages, but executed it for only a couple of days.
Poor Lead Quality
Targeting a lead list that was inactive caused a campaign to achieve a very low acceptance rate of 8%.
Messages Too Long
Using a long message such as “Hey, I host this podcast” led to less readability and misunderstanding due to laziness.
The Solution:
Permission-Based Outreach with SalesRobot
As a podcast host in the M&A space, spending hundreds of hours per episode, Adithya required honest feedback on his content but wasn't getting responses from viewers, so he needed a way to reach engaged listeners.
Key Tactics Used:
1
The "Social Scraper" Hook
Instead of a broad search, Adithya targeted people already engaging with similar M&A podcasts. By finding prospects who liked or commented on specific niche posts, he ensured he was only reaching out to active, relevant listeners.

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
Adithya used a blank connection request to keep the initial touchpoint simple and non-threatening. This led to an industry-shattering 54% acceptance rate, as prospects didn't feel like they were being approached by a salesperson.

The "Permission to Ask" Message
His first message used a classic line: "Mind if I ask you a quick question?". By seeking permission before sharing his podcast link, he avoided "pissing people off" and built a sense of curiosity that drove a 50% reply rate.
4
The Profile Optimization Shield
Adithya optimized his LinkedIn profile to look like a media host, not a salesperson. With a clear banner and featured podcast episodes, his profile provided the "inbound trust" needed to convert cold outreach into genuine conversations.

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.
