Question 6 of 6

Will I know fast if it’s working?

Most people quit at day 40 or 60 and blame the platform.Early on, the numbers that matter are replies, not closed deals.

90 seconds. Lead generation is reps, and most people stop before the reps pay off.

Business owners quit too soon
What we watch first

A deal can take months to close. Whether the campaign is on track shows up in the first few weeks.

Early benchmarks
We look for at least 30% of people accepting the connection request, and replies to the tune of 20%. Below that, we change the message and test again.
The 90-day bar
One to two qualified calls a week by day 90. Anyone promising you 30 days is guessing.
From “Business owners quit too soon”
“A lot of times, people just quit. They run a campaign forty days, sixty days, heck, sometimes even ninety days. And then they say, well, this doesn’t work.”

    $336K contract in a saturated market

    Emilio Baez, Co-Founder & President, Developers.Net

    Nearshore development is one of the most crowded markets you can pick. Emilio’s first stretch with us went nowhere, and he’ll tell you why: seven months on the clock while the strategy sat unrun. Then he took the seat himself. Appointments in 4 weeks, the contract in 40 days.

    “We have a client that has signed a contract ($336,000) and we’re looking for their developers. We have a couple more prospects asking questions.. Something is working! We’re seeing it move.”

    Arnie Gess, Founder & CEO, Construction Links

    Construction isn’t a market most people would pick for LinkedIn. Arnie closed $13,000 inside two months, and the same campaigns bring in about $6,000 more every month on a couple of hours of his time.

    “I can officially say I have my first sale. It works! It’s a sale from running this process!”
