Ideal sequence

1. Send email to Target’s main contacts. Wait 7 days.
2. If no response send followup email to the most important contact (leave out the others).
3. If no response, send followup email. Wait 14 days.
4. If no response, send LinkedIn InMail if. Wait 7 days.
5. If no response, send Connection Request
6. Stop

Integrations

1. All contacts reached out via any tool needs to sync with Freshsales (Tern CRM)
2. All contact status in third-party tools (i.e. where is a contact on the lead gen process) should also be in Freshsales
3. All emails

Tools

1. Dripify - LInkedIn
2. Freshsales
3. Snov.io
4. Apollo.io

Principles

• All emails should be manually sent
• Based on the ideal sequence, LinkedIn messages can’t be automated

Dripify notes

Hi Karthik! Thank you for reaching out!We apologize for the long waiting time due to the weekendThe original LinkedIn InMail feature allows sending a message to any LinkedIn profile (closed or opened) using specific Inmails credits depending on your premium account.Dripify doesn’t use those credits and sends messages using a basic LinkedIn contract even when a customer is running under a Premium LinkedIn account. Meanwhile, the Dripify InMail feature allows sending free InMail messages ONLY to open profiles and doesn’t require any credits from LinkedIn. But has limitation up to 25 messages per day.

Thanks Marie. Why can't Dripfiy use my Premium LinkedIn account (I have a premium acxoint) to send InMails?

When I setup Dripfiy, I entered my LinkedIn credentials to integrate with Dripfiy. So Dripfiy should know I have a premium account!

Not sure I am missing something?

Kathrik,Your premium account is synced with Dripify and it allows you the limits LinkedIn set for premium accounts, but unfortunately, there's no option yet to use it for inMails, Our developers team is working on implementing a solution that would allow to switch from basic to a premium account when sending inMails, but there's no ETA yet, 😔Thank you!
