I do! I give claude cowork a list of companies that are in my target. It takes contol of my chrome and finds me all relevant people from that company and their LI url in google sheet - intelligently deciding hierarchy and all other nuances a human would ideally tackle while manually prospecting. That google sheet is connected to a tool that automatically sends LinkedIn invites and drafts messages that I just need to approve to be sent

It's really only efficient if the quality is good, if its a bad sales person and they use automation its not gonna be any better

Dhiraj P. Does it then fill in CRM?

Not yet. But pretty doable if the CRM you use has Claude MCP. We only put meeting booked/active conversation leads to CRM and hence the volume is low hence doing manually for now.

The process definitely looks interesting. However, LinkedIn is quite strict when it comes to detecting automated or bot-like activity, and such actions are often flagged quickly. Do you think using an AI tool for LinkedIn (outreach) in this way would be a sustainable and safe approach in the long run?

I agree with Kendra R.. When I built that claude cowork project - I had to train it on how to do linkedin prospecting and it created a claude skill automatically based on the guidelines i gave. So if you train well, it does well - if you train bad, it does bad.

Khalid J. that is a pretty solved problem these days. Few tools get your LinkedIn blocked - everyone else in that industry has learnt how to smartly adjust limits to not encounter that problem

Taras B. I have some people I'm connecting with who have AI programs that will fulfill your requirements and everything has free trials. I'll send them over to you as I'm getting them, if that helps.

Dhiraj P. that's a great flow - I have a tool that can do that without needing to take over your computer (it's in a VM sandbox) - would you be interested in giving it a try?
