What does 1st, 2nd, and 3rd mean on LinkedIn?

Understanding LinkedIn connection levels: the basics

What are LinkedIn connection degrees?

LinkedIn organizes your professional network into degrees based on how many steps separate you from another person. Think of it like “six degrees of separation,” but LinkedIn stops counting at three.

The degree system exists for a simple reason: to help you identify warm paths to new contacts. A 2nd-degree connection shares a mutual contact with you—that’s a warm introduction waiting to happen. A 3rd-degree connection is further out, but still theoretically reachable. Beyond that, you’re basically cold calling.

This hierarchy shapes everything about your LinkedIn outreach strategy:

• Who sees your full profile
• Who you can message without restrictions
• How likely someone is to accept your connection request
• What approach you should take when reaching out

The closer someone is in your network (1st degree), the more trust and access you have. The further away (3rd degree or beyond), the harder you have to work to get their attention.

Visual hierarchy: Think of your network as concentric circles radiating outward. You’re at the center. Your 1st-degree connections form the first ring around you. Their connections (who aren’t also your connections) form the 2nd ring. And those people’s connections create the 3rd ring. Beyond that, you’re out of your network entirely.

What does “1st” mean on LinkedIn? (1st-degree connections)

Definition and features of 1st-degree connections

A 1st-degree connection is someone you’re directly connected with on LinkedIn. This person has accepted your connection request (or you accepted theirs), and now you’re part of each other’s professional networks.

When you see “1st” next to someone’s name, you have maximum access:

• Direct messaging: You can send unlimited messages through LinkedIn without any restrictions or extra fees
• Full profile visibility: You see their complete profile, including their email if they’ve shared it, phone number, and full work history
• Activity updates: You see their posts, comments, and updates in your feed
• Introduction ability: They can introduce you to their 2nd-degree connections

On their profile, you’ll see a “1st” badge and the option to “Message” rather than “Connect.” This is your inner circle on LinkedIn—the people you can reach instantly without jumping through hoops.

How to build quality 1st-degree connections

Not all connections are created equal. Adding random people just to pump up your connection count? That’s a fast track to a useless network full of people who’ll never engage with you.

Quality beats quantity every time. Here’s how to build meaningful 1st-degree connections:

Target the right people:

• Prospects who match your ideal customer profile
• Industry peers and thought leaders
• Potential partners or referral sources
• People you’ve met at events or through introductions

Personalize every connection request:

• Reference how you found them or what you have in common
• Be specific about why you want to connect
• Keep it short (300 characters max on LinkedIn)
• Never send generic “I’d like to add you to my professional network” messages

Good connection request example: “Hi Sarah, I saw your post about scaling sales teams at Series B startups. We’re doing similar work at [Company], and I’d love to exchange ideas on what’s working. Would you be open to connecting?”

Bad connection request example: “Hi, let’s connect!”

The goal isn’t to collect connections—it’s to build a network of people who’ll actually respond when you reach out. A smaller network of engaged connections beats a massive network of strangers.

Why 1st-degree connections matter for sales

Your 1st-degree connections are your foundation for everything on LinkedIn. They’re the people who:

• See and engage with your content (LinkedIn’s algorithm favors showing your posts to existing connections)
• Serve as warm paths to their networks (2nd-degree connections)
• Can provide introductions, referrals, and social proof
• Actually respond when you reach out with relevant opportunities

From a sales perspective, turning prospects into 1st-degree connections is priority one. Once someone accepts your connection request, the conversation can begin. You can share valuable content, engage with their posts, and eventually move to a sales conversation—all without paying for InMail or worrying about hitting message limits.

But here’s the thing: LinkedIn is just one channel. Smart prospectors don’t rely solely on LinkedIn connections. If someone doesn’t accept your request or doesn’t have LinkedIn, you need alternatives. That’s why multichannel approaches work better—combining LinkedIn with email and other platforms means you’re not stuck waiting for a connection acceptance that might never come.

What does “2nd” mean on LinkedIn? (2nd-degree connections)

Understanding 2nd-degree connections

A 2nd-degree connection is someone connected to one of your 1st-degree connections, but not directly connected to you. Basically, a “friend of a friend” in LinkedIn terms.

When you see “2nd” on a profile, here’s what it means:

• You share at least one mutual connection with this person
• They can see a limited version of your profile
• You cannot message them directly (unless you have LinkedIn Premium for InMail)
• You can send them a connection request
• LinkedIn shows you how many mutual connections you share

The “2nd” badge is actually powerful intelligence. It tells you there’s a warm path to this person through someone who knows both of you. That mutual connection is your advantage—use it.

How to approach 2nd-degree connections

Second-degree connections are the sweet spot for LinkedIn prospecting. They’re close enough that your connection request feels warm (you share mutual contacts), but they’re not already in your network (meaning they’re fresh opportunities).

Three ways to approach 2nd-degree connections:

1. Send a personalized connection request Reference your mutual connection in your note (if you actually know them well enough to mention them authentically). Example: “Hi Michael, we’re both connected to Jennifer Smith, who spoke highly of your work in RevOps. I’m focused on similar challenges and would love to connect.”

2. Engage before connecting Like and comment meaningfully on their posts for a week or two before sending a connection request. When they see your name in their notifications a few times, your connection request feels familiar rather than random. This approach is known as social warming.

3. Ask for an introduction If you have a strong relationship with the mutual connection, ask them to introduce you. A warm intro beats a cold connection request every time.

Pro tip: LinkedIn’s search filters let you specifically search for 2nd-degree connections who match your ideal customer profile. This is where smart prospecting starts—finding people who are warm-ish leads rather than ice-cold strangers.

Strategic value of 2nd-degree connections

Second-degree connections should be your primary hunting ground on LinkedIn. Why?

• Higher acceptance rates: Connection requests to 2nd-degree connections get accepted 30-40% more often than requests to 3rd-degree or out-of-network profiles
• Built-in social proof: The mutual connection creates credibility before you even reach out
• Larger pool: Your 2nd-degree network is typically 100-500x larger than your 1st-degree network
• Warm outreach potential: You can reference mutual connections, shared groups, or common interests

Think of your 2nd-degree connections as your untapped opportunity pool. These are people who are close enough to trust you (through association) but far enough that you haven’t exhausted the relationship yet.

The key is being strategic. Don’t blast connection requests to every 2nd-degree connection you find. Target people who actually match your ICP, personalize your approach, and provide value first. Quality outreach to 50 well-chosen 2nd-degree connections beats 500 generic spray-and-pray requests.

What does “3rd” mean on LinkedIn? (3rd-degree connections)

3rd-degree connections explained

A 3rd-degree connection is someone connected to your 2nd-degree connections. They’re two steps removed from you—a “friend of a friend of a friend.”

When you see “3rd” on a LinkedIn profile, you’re looking at limited access:

• You can see only a restricted version of their profile (often just their name, headline, and current company)
• You cannot message them without LinkedIn Premium InMail
• You may not see their full activity or posts
• You can send a connection request (but it’s colder than 2nd-degree requests)
• You may not share any visible mutual connections

The “3rd” designation basically means: “This person exists in the LinkedIn universe, but they’re pretty far from your orbit.” You can reach them, but it requires more effort and gets lower response rates than closer connections.

How to connect with 3rd-degree connections

Connecting with 3rd-degree connections is possible, but it’s harder. You’re essentially making a cold approach—they have no idea who you are, and you have no mutual connection to reference.

Your options:

1. Send a connection request with a compelling note You have 300 characters to grab their attention. Make it count. Focus on shared interests, relevant insights, or genuine value. Skip the sales pitch entirely.

2. Engage with their content first If they post on LinkedIn, like and comment thoughtfully on their content for a few weeks. Build familiarity before you connect. When your connection request arrives, they’ve already seen your name multiple times.

3. Use LinkedIn InMail (Premium required) If you have LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator, you can send InMail messages to 3rd-degree connections without connecting first. InMail credits are limited though, so use them strategically.

4. Find alternative channels Here’s where smart prospectors think beyond LinkedIn. Can you find their email address? Are they active on Twitter/X? Sometimes reaching a 3rd-degree connection via a different channel works better than forcing a cold LinkedIn connection.

Deciding when to pursue 3rd-degree connections

Not every 3rd-degree connection is worth the effort. Your time is finite, so be strategic about who you chase.

Pursue 3rd-degree connections when:

• They’re a perfect fit for your ICP (high-value target)
• They’re active on LinkedIn (posting and engaging regularly)
• You have a genuinely relevant reason to connect
• Other channels (email, phone) aren’t available

Skip 3rd-degree connections when:

• They’re barely active on LinkedIn (they’ll never see your request)
• You have plenty of 1st and 2nd-degree opportunities to work through first
• You can reach them more effectively via email or other channels
• They don’t match your ICP closely enough to warrant the low response rate

The truth? Most sales professionals overinvest in 3rd-degree LinkedIn connections and underinvest in multichannel strategies. If someone’s hard to reach on LinkedIn, find another way to contact them. Email, Twitter/X, phone calls—expand your approach rather than banging your head against LinkedIn’s limitations.

What does “LinkedIn Member” or “Out of Network” mean?

Understanding “Out of Network” profiles

When you see “LinkedIn Member” instead of a name and connection degree, you’re looking at an “out of network” profile. This happens for two reasons:

1. They’re beyond your 3rd-degree network This person has zero connections in common with you, not even at the 3rd-degree level. You’re completely outside each other’s networks.

2. They’ve restricted their privacy settings Some LinkedIn users set their profiles to private, preventing people outside their network from seeing their full information. You might see “LinkedIn Member” even if they’re technically within three degrees.

Either way, you’re facing maximum restrictions:

• You can’t see their full name or profile details
• You can’t send a connection request (in some cases)
• You can’t message them without InMail
• They probably can’t see much of your profile either

“Out of Network” essentially means: “This person is unreachable via standard LinkedIn approaches.”

Strategies to reach out-of-network prospects

So you found your dream prospect, but they’re showing as “LinkedIn Member” or completely out of network. What now?

Option 1: LinkedIn InMail If you have LinkedIn Premium, Sales Navigator, or Recruiter, you can send InMail messages to out-of-network prospects. InMail bypasses the connection requirement, but you have limited credits, and response rates are typically lower than direct messages.

Option 2: Find them through other channels This is where multichannel prospecting becomes essential. Use LinkedIn to identify the person, then reach them elsewhere:

• Find their email address using tools like La Growth Machine’s lead enrichment (which searches across 9 email providers)
• Look them up on Twitter/X and engage there first
• Check if they’ve posted content elsewhere (company blog, Medium, industry publications)
• See if they attend industry events or webinars where you can connect

Option 3: Expand your network strategically Grow your 1st-degree network by connecting with people in their company or industry. As your network expands, that out-of-network person might become a 3rd or even 2nd-degree connection, making them easier to reach.

The multichannel advantage: When someone’s out of network on LinkedIn, smart prospectors don’t give up—they just switch channels. A coordinated approach might look like: identify them on LinkedIn → find their email → send a personalized email → follow them on Twitter/X → engage with their content → circle back with a connection request.

This is where La Growth Machine’s approach shines: automatically finding verified emails for out-of-network prospects and creating multichannel sequences that reach people wherever they’re most responsive—not just where they’re easiest to find.

How to expand your network across all connection levels

Strategic network growth on LinkedIn

Growing your LinkedIn network isn’t about racing to 500+ connections. It’s about building a network of relevant professionals who’ll actually engage with you and respond when you reach out.

Start with your 1st and 2nd-degree networks first:

• You’ll get better acceptance rates with 2nd-degree connections than 3rd-degree
• Closer connections lead to more meaningful relationships
• Your 2nd-degree network is already massive—exploit it before going further

Quality connection criteria: Before sending any connection request, ask yourself:

• Does this person match my ICP or could they refer business to me?
• Do we have genuine common ground (industry, interests, mutual connections)?
• Can I provide value to them, not just extract it?
• Would I actually want to have a conversation with this person?

If you answer “no” to these questions, skip the connection request. A smaller, engaged network beats a massive, indifferent one every time.

Network growth pace: LinkedIn limits you to around 100-200 connection requests per week (the exact limit varies). Don’t max this out. Send 20-30 highly targeted, personalized requests weekly rather than spamming 200 generic ones. Your acceptance rate matters more than your volume.

Personalization strategies that work

Generic connection requests get ignored. Personalized ones get accepted. It’s that simple.

Connection request template (2nd-degree): “Hi [Name], we’re both connected to [Mutual Connection] and work in [Industry]. I’ve been following your insights on [Topic], and I’d love to exchange ideas. Would you be open to connecting?”

Connection request template (3rd-degree or cold): “Hi [Name], I came across your post about [Specific Topic] and really appreciated your take on [Specific Point]. I work with [Type of Companies] on similar challenges. Would you be open to connecting?”

What NOT to do:

• Don’t send the default “I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn” message
• Don’t pitch your product or service in the connection request
• Don’t lie about knowing them or having met them before
• Don’t mention mutual connections unless you actually know those people

After they accept: Don’t immediately pitch them. Start a conversation. Engage with their content. Provide value first. The sale comes later, after you’ve built some trust.

Using LinkedIn features to expand your reach

Beyond connection requests, LinkedIn offers several features to expand your network and warm up relationships:

LinkedIn Groups:

• Join groups where your prospects hang out
• Engage in discussions and provide valuable insights
• When you’re both in the same group, you can message some members directly without connecting

Commenting and engagement:

• Comment meaningfully on posts from people you want to connect with
• When they see your name in their notifications 3-5 times, your connection request feels familiar
• This “social warming” dramatically improves acceptance rates

LinkedIn Events:

• Attend (or host) LinkedIn Events in your industry
• Event attendees are often more open to connecting
• Reference the event in your connection request: “Great to ‘meet’ you at [Event Name]”

Advanced Search filters:

• Filter by connection degree, location, company size, industry, and more
• Save searches to get alerts when new people match your criteria
• Use Boolean search to find highly specific prospects

The key is using these features strategically, not just collecting connections for vanity metrics.

LinkedIn connection best practices and limits

LinkedIn’s connection request limits (2026)

LinkedIn restricts how many connection requests you can send to prevent spam and maintain platform quality. Here’s what you need to know:

Weekly connection request limits:

• LinkedIn typically allows 100-200 connection requests per week for most accounts
• The exact limit varies based on account age, activity level, and acceptance rate
• Newer accounts have lower limits; established accounts with good behavior have higher limits

What triggers LinkedIn restrictions:

• Sending too many connection requests in a short time
• Low acceptance rate (too many people ignore or decline your requests)
• Too many people marking your requests as “I don’t know this person”
• Using automation tools that LinkedIn detects (browser extensions, bots)

Signs you’re restricted:

• You can’t send new connection requests
• You get a “You’ve reached the weekly invitation limit” message
• Your account shows a temporary restriction warning

How to avoid restrictions:

• Send personalized requests, not generic spam
• Withdraw pending requests after 2-3 weeks (people who haven’t responded probably won’t)
• Focus on quality over quantity—20 targeted requests beat 200 generic ones
• Maintain a high acceptance rate (aim for 30%+ acceptance)

Maintaining a healthy LinkedIn account

Your LinkedIn account health directly impacts your prospecting success. A restricted or flagged account can’t send connection requests or messages—basically worthless for prospecting.

Acceptance rate matters: LinkedIn tracks how often people accept vs. ignore or decline your connection requests. A low acceptance rate signals that you’re spamming, which can trigger restrictions.

To maintain a healthy acceptance rate:

• Personalize every connection request
• Only connect with people who are likely to know why you’re reaching out
• Withdraw old pending requests (they count against you if ignored)
• Focus on 2nd-degree connections rather than cold 3rd-degree requests

Withdraw pending requests regularly: Connection requests that sit pending for weeks count against your limit and hurt your acceptance rate. Every 2-3 weeks, go through your pending requests and withdraw anything that hasn’t been accepted. This keeps your numbers clean and frees up space for new requests.

Balance automation with manual outreach: LinkedIn can detect browser extensions and aggressive automation tools. If you’re using automation, make sure it’s safe:

• Avoid browser extensions (LinkedIn can easily detect them)
• Use dedicated applications that simulate human behavior (like La Growth Machine’s desktop app)
• Set realistic daily limits (not 100 actions per day—that’s not human)
• Randomize timing between actions to mimic real behavior

Smart automation enhances your prospecting. Reckless automation gets you banned. Choose tools that prioritize account safety.

5 LinkedIn networking mistakes

Even experienced LinkedIn users make these mistakes. Avoid them:

• Sending generic, copy-pasted messages: Nothing screams “I don’t care about you” like a generic connection request. Personalize every message or don’t send it.

• Ignoring existing connections: You spent effort building your 1st-degree network—now use it. Engage with their content, send occasional check-ins, and provide value. Your existing network is your greatest asset.

• Being too pushy: Don’t pitch in your connection request. Don’t pitch in your first message after connecting. Build the relationship first, provide value, then explore business opportunities.

• Overlooking profile optimization: Your LinkedIn profile is the first thing prospects see. If it’s weak, outdated, or confusing, they won’t accept your connection request. Make sure your profile clearly communicates who you help and how.

• Relying only on LinkedIn: This is the biggest mistake. LinkedIn is powerful, but it’s one channel. If you only prospect on LinkedIn, you’re leaving money on the table. The best response rates come from multichannel sequences that combine LinkedIn, email, and other platforms.

Leveraging connection levels for sales and lead generation

Building a multichannel outreach strategy

Understanding LinkedIn connection degrees is valuable. But relying solely on LinkedIn? That’s limiting your pipeline.

The reality is only about 50% of your prospects are reachable on LinkedIn. Some don’t accept connection requests. Others rarely check LinkedIn. Some are out of your network entirely. If LinkedIn is your only channel, you’re walking away from half your opportunities.

That’s why the best prospecting strategies are multichannel—combining LinkedIn with email, Twitter/X, and phone calls to reach prospects wherever they’re most responsive.

Here’s how it works:

You identify a 2nd-degree connection on LinkedIn who matches your ICP. You send a personalized connection request. While waiting for acceptance, La Growth Machine automatically:

• Finds their verified email address using waterfall enrichment across 9 providers
• Sends a personalized email introducing yourself and offering value
• If they engage on LinkedIn, continues the conversation there
• If they don’t accept your LinkedIn request but open the email, focuses on email nurturing
• Can even engage with them on Twitter/X if they’re active there

This approach gets 3.5x better response rates than LinkedIn-only or email-only prospecting because you’re meeting prospects where they actually pay attention.

Why this matters for connection levels:

• 2nd-degree connection who accepts: Great, you can message them on LinkedIn
• 2nd-degree connection who ignores your request: No problem, you’re already in their email inbox
• 3rd-degree or out-of-network prospect: Skip the low-probability LinkedIn request and go straight to email or Twitter/X

Multichannel prospecting means you’re never stuck waiting for a LinkedIn connection acceptance that might never come.

Turning connections into conversations

Connecting with someone on LinkedIn is step one. The real goal is starting meaningful conversations that lead to business opportunities.

After someone accepts your connection request:

Day 1-2: Send a thank-you message (no pitch) “Thanks for connecting, [Name]. I’m looking forward to following your insights on [Topic].” That’s it. No sales pitch. You’re building rapport.

Week 1-2: Engage with their content Like and comment thoughtfully on their posts. Show up in their notifications so they remember who you are. Provide genuine insights, not generic “Great post!” comments.

Week 2-3: Start a conversation Send a message that provides value: share a relevant article, offer an insight about their industry, or ask a thoughtful question. The goal is to start a dialogue, not close a sale.

Week 3+: Explore business opportunities Once you’ve established some rapport, you can explore whether there’s a fit for working together. “Based on what you shared about [Challenge], we’re helping similar companies with [Solution]. Would it make sense to have a quick conversation?”

The key principle: value first, ask later. Every interaction should provide value to them before asking for anything in return. This approach takes longer, but it builds real relationships that lead to better business outcomes.

Using automation tools safely

Manually sending personalized LinkedIn messages to hundreds of prospects isn’t scalable. That’s where automation comes in.

But there’s a right way and a wrong way to automate LinkedIn outreach.

Wrong way: Browser extensions and aggressive bots: These tools are easy to detect, often violate LinkedIn’s terms of service, and can get your account restricted or banned. They send too many actions too quickly, making your outreach look robotic.

Right way: Safe, human-like automation: Tools like La Growth Machine use dedicated desktop applications (not browser extensions) that simulate human behavior:

• Randomized timing between actions (not sending 50 connection requests at exactly 9:00 AM)
• Realistic daily limits (20-30 connection requests per day, not 200)
• Pauses and breaks that mimic human usage patterns
• No detection by LinkedIn because the actions look like manual behavior

The benefits of smart automation:

• Reach more prospects without spending 6 hours a day on LinkedIn
• Maintain consistency (your outreach continues even when you’re busy with meetings)
• Personalize at scale (merge tags let you customize messages for hundreds of people)
• Coordinate multichannel sequences (LinkedIn actions trigger email follow-ups automatically)

The goal of automation isn’t to spam more people. It’s to execute thoughtful, personalized outreach at scale—something that’s impossible to do manually. As long as your automation respects LinkedIn’s limits and maintains quality, it’s a competitive advantage, not a risk.

La Growth Machine handles this balance carefully: automating the repetitive tasks (sending messages, connection requests, follow-ups) while keeping you in control of the strategy and personalization.

Frequently asked questions

Can I message 2nd-degree connections on LinkedIn?

Not directly (without paying for LinkedIn Premium). To message a 2nd-degree connection for free, you need to send them a connection request first. Once they accept, they become a 1st-degree connection and you can message freely.

Alternatively, if you share a LinkedIn Group with a 2nd-degree connection, you may be able to message them through the group. But this is less reliable than just connecting first.

How many 1st-degree connections can I have?

LinkedIn allows up to 30,000 1st-degree connections. Most people never hit this limit. Focus on quality connections rather than racing to maximize your count. A network of 500 engaged connections beats 5,000 strangers who ignore your messages.

What’s the difference between connecting and following?

Connecting makes someone your 1st-degree connection. You can message each other, see full profiles, and appear in each other’s networks.

Following lets you see someone’s public posts in your feed without connecting. They don’t automatically see your posts, and you can’t message them (unless they’re already a 1st-degree connection).

Following is useful for keeping up with industry leaders or thought leaders you don’t know personally. Connecting is for building real professional relationships.

Do LinkedIn connection requests expire?

Yes. Connection requests expire after 6 months if not accepted. After 6 months, the pending request is automatically withdrawn, and you can send a new one if you want.

Pro tip: Don’t wait 6 months. If someone hasn’t accepted after 2-3 weeks, they’re probably not interested. Withdraw the request manually to keep your pending list clean and improve your acceptance rate metrics.

Can 3rd-degree connections see my profile?

They can see a limited version of your profile. Typically they’ll see your name, headline, current company, and profile photo, but not your full work history, recommendations, or detailed information.

If you have your profile set to public, 3rd-degree connections might see more. But by default, LinkedIn restricts profile visibility beyond 2nd-degree connections to encourage people to connect.

How do I know if someone viewed my LinkedIn profile?

LinkedIn shows you who’s viewed your profile in the “Who viewed your profile” section (accessible from your profile page or homepage). But there are limitations:

• Free accounts see limited information (e.g., “Someone from the software industry viewed your profile”)
• LinkedIn Premium shows full details about who viewed your profile
• People can browse in “private mode,” which hides their views from you

Profile views can be a prospecting signal. If someone repeatedly views your profile, they might be interested in connecting or working together.

What happens if I send too many connection requests?

LinkedIn will temporarily restrict your ability to send new connection requests. This typically lasts 1-4 weeks, depending on the severity.

Warning signs:

• You can’t send new connection requests
• You see a message about reaching your weekly invitation limit
• Your account shows a temporary restriction

To recover:

• Stop sending connection requests until the restriction lifts
• Withdraw old pending requests to improve your acceptance rate
• Focus on engaging with your existing network (liking, commenting, posting)
• When restrictions lift, send fewer, more personalized requests going forward

Prevention is better than recovery. Keep your outreach volume reasonable and your personalization high to avoid restrictions entirely.

Understanding LinkedIn connection levels opens doors, but don’t stop there

Now you know what those little numbers mean on LinkedIn and how to use connection degrees strategically. Here’s the recap:

1st-degree connections are your direct network—message them freely and engage regularly.

2nd-degree connections are your sweet spot for prospecting—warm enough to get good acceptance rates, large enough to generate serious pipeline.

3rd-degree and out-of-network prospects are harder to reach on LinkedIn, but that doesn’t mean they’re unreachable—you just need to think beyond one platform.

The most important lesson? LinkedIn connection levels are useful intelligence, but they’re not limitations. When someone’s hard to reach on LinkedIn, find their email. If they don’t respond to connection requests, try Twitter/X. If one channel doesn’t work, try another.

Ready to move beyond LinkedIn-only prospecting? While understanding LinkedIn connection levels is crucial, the most successful sales professionals don’t put all their eggs in one basket. La Growth Machine helps you build multichannel sequences that combine LinkedIn, email, and Twitter/X—automatically adapting based on how prospects engage. The result? 3.5x better response rates than LinkedIn-only or email-only approaches.

Stop waiting for LinkedIn connection acceptances that might never come. Start reaching prospects wherever they’re actually paying attention.
