💯 , it's been a while, I'll ping u
The Unlimited plan comes with up to 500 seats/linkedin accounts you can connect - $1,999/mo; flat fee. If you're doing this at lower scale then it might make more sense to go with: Per seat plan (Growth) - 79$ per seat/linkedin account; $59 if you connect more than 10 accounts Bundle plan (Agency) - $999 - 50 seats allocated Quarterly discount:15%; Annual:25% off.
Tom R. My 0.02c, I think you're on a right track, and AI in outbound is a no-brainer if implemented right. It works amazingly well for things like lead list filtering & segmentation, personalization / relevance research, copywriting & optimization. Everything to speed up SDR workflows and basically, all the stuff that makes it 10x faster and easier to book more meetings. Where AI isn’t there yet (and I’ve tested the best tools): Cold calls, Personalized video outreach and those weird AI voice notes. Those should stay human-led (cold calls + demos especially and also top Tier accounts) That said, AI workflows can save your SDR team a ton of time and $$$, but there’s also lots of trial & error that can burn both if you don’t know what you’re doing. In many cases, makes much more sense to get an agency to set things up for your team. Ping me if you want recs on agencies that implement this, I know most of the players on the market (I'm not a referral partner, nothing in it for me, just know which ones are good and which ones not so much)
Frederik B. Jumping in here. HeyReach - Clay native integration with HeyReach, just push leads directly to the campaigns. Easy multichannel - just use a webook to kick off CR from HeyReach after the email/call is executed in your tool. (and yeah, better pricing). Ping me if you'd want to have a HeyReach GTM engineer included as a part of the onboarding to HeyReach, he can help you get it all set up.
Ahh that's what that is, I was wondering how Walaxy is claiming to send 100 CR/day! They do it, but only first 2 days of the week and then they don't send anything for the rest of the week. So weekly, you're on the same number which is 200max. Makes sense as limits from LinkedIn are weekly not daily actually 🙂 So whether you send every work day 40 CR or you send 100 just first two days of the week - you get the same number. Thanks Sai M. for demystifying this for me!
For anyone using LinkedIn for outbound and automating anything, this is for you. I’ve seen a lot of questions (and fears) here lately around LinkedIn automation and how to do it safely. Obviously, nobody wants to lose their account. The truth: it's not about automation or manual outreach, it's about doing it right (spoiler alert: manual outreach can also get you banned). I’ve helped 200+ agencies and companies set; seen what works, what gets accounts banned, and what no one ever tells you in the fine print. So hopefully this helps: 🚨 few myths:
If a tool promises more than 40 connection requests/day safely, they’re gambling with your account. Great sales pitch for them. Potential ban for you.
LinkedIn has a hard monthly cap: ~800 connection requests per account, per month
You might get more in Week 1, but zoom out to monthly stats - the ceiling’s always there
Manual outreach can also get you banned. It’s not about whether it’s automated, it’s about how it’s done. Bad targeting, low connection acceptance rates, spammy copy, inconsistent logins - all of these raise flags. 📈 Want to scale? Here’s what actually works:
Use more LinkedIn accounts. Full stop.
Borrow from colleagues, other departments, friends.
Use a tool that allows you to limit access to the inbox; so you can message and respond to leads without seeing private convos.
Don’t create fake profiles. They’ll burn within weeks. And doing a 3-month warmup on a fake account? Usually a waste of time.
There's one more strategy I can't post publicly unfortunately, ping me if you're curious.
🛠️ Setup matters more than people think:
Use a tool that assigns static proxies from your country.
Never use extensions or anything that runs in-browser. Stick to cloud-based tools only.
Track your manual + automated outreach volume, LinkedIn doesn’t care who clicked send.
All this said and done - if your ICP is active on LinkedIn, it’ll be your highest ROI outbound channel. Do not miss out on it. Automation no automation? Second and third followup get highest responses. So it's up to you, if you can followup manually and be consistent everyday (and manage multiple accounts) manual can work with effort too. Wrong tool, wrong setup, wrong way of doing things = lost pipeline, or worse, lost accounts. Hope this helps. Happy to dive deeper if anyone has questions and happy to see your insights.
I'm Head of Sales at HeyReach, so HeyReach (same one Sid recommended). I've used them for 2 years as an agency owner for my clients before I've joined, so not that biased despite my current position
Also - what LN does care about also is: Connection request acceptance rate - how many people are actually connecting with you after sending connection requests. Piled-up connection requests that haven't been accepted - withdraw the ones that are old. Manually or automatically.
Ah, the drama. Yes, LinkedIn takes enforcement seriously. But getting banned isn’t just about automation. It’s about how you approach outreach. Manual outreach can get you banned just as easily as automated outreach. The real question isn’t if you should automate, it’s how to do LinkedIn outreach the right way without triggering LinkedIn’s defenses. A good tool mimics human behavior so closely that LinkedIn can't tell the difference. That means using things like high-quality static residential proxies, smart delays, and thoughtful workflows. BUT regardless of whether you're manual or automated...
if account is fresh new and starts sending messages straight away - it will get banned. You need warm up.
If account hasn't been used in a long time - you need warm up.
If you have less than 500 connections - you need warm up.
If none apply:
Stick to ~25 connection requests/day
Max and I mean max 40 DMs/day if you're account is strong and warmed up. I'd stick with 25CR and 30 messages.
We have agencies managing 150+ LinkedIn accounts using Clay + HeyReach without a hitch. At the same time, we’ve seen fake or poorly prepped single accounts get banned on day one. Now, is automation worth it? That depends on your business:
Is your audience active on LinkedIn?
What’s your ACV?
How are your email reply rates looking?
If LinkedIn is where your buyers are, and you're doing it right, it’s a goldmine. And imo worth it. You decide.
