The Challenge: Before SalesRobot
Jeff aimed to connect with podcast hosts and wellness content creators who could gain from operating their own branded telehealth clinics, yet needed to avoid appearing too sales-focused in a saturated industry.
The "Bigger is Better" Fallacy
One of my major mistakes is thinking I need a bigger list or an extensive campaign to get results from the effort.
Set It and Forget It Mentality
I thought I could get 1,000-1,500 in my list and walk away. That created significant waste and back and forth.
Starting with Generic Pitches
i liken LinkedIn sales to approaching a random person—if you start with a pitch, you won’t make any progress.
Competitor Noise
In a crowded wellness market, standard text-only messages were easily ignored by busy content creators and podcasters.
The Solution:
Collaborative Outreach with SalesRobot
Jeff aimed to connect with podcast hosts and wellness content creators who could gain from operating their own branded telehealth clinics, yet needed to avoid appearing too sales-focused in a saturated industry.
Key Tactics Used:
1
Start with Follow, Not Connection Request
Campaign Structure:
Step 1: Follow the person
Step 2: Connection request (once they see your name)
Strategy: "Starting with the following gives them a chance to engage with you first. It puts your name in front of them before the connection request."

"Useful LinkedIn Automation"
SalesRobot helped us extend our reach with automated LinkedIn campaigns. I love generating lists via Sales Navigator and importing them without needing an ongoing subscription.
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.
