How to prospect on LinkedIn without burning your account or your time: what we learned selling with Pexio, and what went wrong.
A LinkedIn outreach sequence is the fixed set of messages you send one prospect over time. One that works has three to four touches across two to three weeks, each with a different job: ask a question, add context, offer something concrete, then close the loop politely.
LinkedIn prospecting is the process of finding qualified buyers on LinkedIn, contacting them directly, and managing those conversations until they become meetings. It works in five stages: define the list, respect the weekly invitation limits, open with a message tied to a real signal, track every r
PhantomBuster is a general automation platform priced by execution time and credits, not a dedicated LinkedIn prospecting tool. If you only automate LinkedIn outreach, purpose-built alternatives are simpler to set up and easier to budget: Pexio from USD 24.99 , Waalaxy from €19, Dripify from USD 59
Dripify costs USD 59 to 99 per user per month, billed per seat. Cheaper alternatives include Waalaxy at €19 to €69 per user and Pexio at USD 24.99 to 49.99 per account, with an Agency plan covering ten accounts for USD 299. Expandi is more expensive at USD 99 per account.
Expandi costs USD 99 per account per month, or USD 79 billed annually, making it the most expensive per-account option among mainstream LinkedIn automation tools at list price. Pexio runs ten accounts for USD 299 total, Waalaxy Advanced costs €49 per user, and Dripify Advanced USD 99 per user.
Sales Navigator is worth it if better filtering changes who you talk to. It isn't if your bottleneck is time rather than targeting. It's a finding tool. It won't send anything, follow up, or tell you who replied.
Most people leaving Waalaxy hit one of three walls: it runs as a Chrome extension, the LinkedIn inbox is a paid add-on, and it's one account per subscription. Pick by the wall you hit. Multi-account → HeyReach or Pexio. Cloud execution → Expandi, Dripify or Pexio. Email-first → Lemlist.
LinkedIn doesn't publish an invitation limit. The figure most widely observed is around 100 connection requests per rolling 7-day period, but it varies by account age and acceptance rate. The cap isn't the real risk. A low acceptance rate triggers restrictions faster than high volume does.
Cold outreach automation means software handles the repetitive part of prospecting while a person handles the conversation. What changed: the average cold email reply rate is now 3.43%, and agency-run campaigns fell from 6.8% to 5.8% year over year. Email didn't stop working; it stopped being enoug
“GTM tool” has no fixed definition. In practice it covers five different jobs: finding companies, enriching contact data, orchestrating that data, executing outreach, and following up on replies. Most teams overspend because they buy two tools that do the same job and none that does the next one.
