LinkedIn lead generation - when it pays off and when it is a waste of budget

LinkedIn lead generation is proactive sales work. Its goal is a first conversation on LinkedIn with decision-makers who match your customer profile, and interest in your offer. We write from the profiles of people at your company. Scaling Labs specializes in prospecting on three channels, so we pair LinkedIn outreach with email and cold calling. LinkedIn Ads and content posting are separate disciplines that we do not run.

Working with a LinkedIn lead generation agency does not fit every company. Because our billing is tied to results, on the first call we tell you upfront whether LinkedIn can deliver a return for your company. It depends on four things.

LinkedIn lead generation with Scaling Labs in short
Outcome
interested decision-makers from your customer profile who want to hear about your offer
Channels
LinkedIn from the profiles of people at your company, plus email, and phone for priority contacts
Scale
over 120,000 messages a month across 11 markets, plus LinkedIn and phone
Start
first LinkedIn connection requests from week 2 after signing
Billing
pay-per-lead (leads you confirm) or pay-per-meeting (meetings held)
It pays off when
  • you have a proven offer with demand in the market and want to add a sales channel and scale up
  • a customer is worth a lot over time (high LTV)
  • you have a sales process and people who will take over the conversations with leads
  • your market has at least 5,000 companies that can buy your product or service
It is a waste of budget when
  • you are a micro business or a startup still testing whether the market wants your product (no product-market fit)
  • a customer's orders are worth less than €2,000 a year
  • you have no sales process and no one to handle the leads
  • your market has fewer than 5,000 companies

How we handle your email

What you get

What you get with LinkedIn lead generation

We run the campaign from building the list and preparing your profile to connection requests, messages and results. You receive leads your team can work on.

  • A list of every company that can buy from you

    We collect data on headcount, revenue, markets, products, services and offices. Then the decision-makers and their contact details - name, LinkedIn profile, email and mobile number. Data is verified before launch. The list is built for each campaign and never reused between clients.

  • Campaign design from start to finish

    We design the sequence - when we send a LinkedIn connection request, when we follow up by email and when we call. LinkedIn is the main channel, with email and phone added for priority contacts and for people who do not reply on LinkedIn.

  • Copy and A/B tests you approve

    At launch we run at least five different tests of connection requests and messages per segment and scale the best performers. Nothing goes out from your profile without your approval.

  • Buying signals

    We track public information on role changes, hiring posts, reactions to competitors' posts, new offices and products, Google News and more. That way we reach companies that show a need for change.

  • Copy in local languages

    We write natively in the language of each market. If you have local reps there, a message in the recipient's language gets more replies in our campaigns than one in English. In selected countries local partners also call in the local language, which opens the door to international campaigns.

  • Email infrastructure

    Emails to the same audience go out from separate domains and mailboxes bought for the campaign. This keeps deliverability high, protects your main domain and lets us work at scale.

  • Sales-ready leads for your team

    A decision-maker who replied and wants to talk, with context - who they are, what they wrote and how we reached them. Your sales team takes over the conversation.

  • Weekly report

    Accepted connection requests, messages sent, replies, leads and what your prospects write back. Once a week we go through the results with you.

LinkedIn outreach

How we run LinkedIn outreach - from profile to conversation

First we prepare the profile, the list and the messages. Then we start writing, and people who do not reply on LinkedIn also hear from us by email and phone.

  • A profile ready for outreach

    People check the profile before they reply to a connection request. We tailor it to your customers, so it is clear right away who they are talking to and how you can help them.

  • Connection request

    With a connection request we add potential buyers from your customer profile to your network.

  • Messages after the request is accepted

    A message sequence written for the type and size of the company and the decision-maker's role.

  • Email and phone beyond platform limits

    LinkedIn caps the number of connection requests. To fill the gap and add scale, we add email and phone outreach.

Team

Who writes on your behalf and from which profile

LinkedIn is one of the three channels our lead generation agency works on. Messages go out from the profiles of people at your company, and the campaign is run by an SDR who learns your offer and your customers before launch.

  • SDR

    We design the whole campaign workflow and the sequence copy, and pass interested leads to you in real time.

  • We write from your team's profiles

    A message from you or your sales rep comes across as more credible than one from an agency. Before launch we prepare the profile for your customers and set the pace of connection requests.

  • Pace within platform limits

    We match the number of connection requests to the age and history of the account.

How we work

A LinkedIn campaign step by step. First connection requests from week 2.

In the first week we prepare the profile, the list and the copy, and LinkedIn outreach starts from week 2. Meanwhile the new email mailboxes go through warm-up. From you we need one call, materials about your offer and a list of companies to exclude.

01 - StartDays 1-3

We study your offer and agree on what counts as a lead.

  • Customer profile - we agree on which companies and people we write to (your ICP) and what counts as a lead.
  • Market - we count the companies and decision-makers that match your customer profile.
  • Infrastructure - separate email domains and mailboxes, bought and set up on our side.
  • From you - a kick-off call, materials about your offer, a list of companies to exclude and access to your LinkedIn profile.
02 - PreparationWeeks 1-2

We prepare the profile, the list and the messages.

  • Profile - set up for outreach to your audience.
  • List - companies and decision-makers from your customer profile, data verified before launch.
  • Copy - the connection request, LinkedIn messages and emails to the same audience.
  • Warm-up - new mailboxes are warmed up before they send the first email.
  • From you - approval of the list and the copy.
03 - First contactsFrom week 2

We send connection requests, messages and emails.

  • LinkedIn - connection requests and messages at a pace matched to the account.
  • Email - to people with a signal and to those who do not reply on LinkedIn.
  • Leads in your CRM - with a note on who the person is and what they are looking for.
  • Weekly report - who we write to, who replied, what is in progress.
04 - ScalingMonths 2-3

More of what wins.

  • Winning tests - messages and audiences that bring leads get more volume, weaker ones are switched off.
  • Next segments - what works moves on to further industries and markets.
  • From you - you confirm leads and run the conversations.

Law and platform rules

LinkedIn, the law and platform rules - the principles we follow

A commercial message sent through LinkedIn falls under the same rules as email - GDPR, the EU data protection regulation, and each country's rules on electronic communication. Approaches to consent for the first contact differ across the market, and each carries some risk.

On top of that come the platform's terms. LinkedIn limits the number of connection requests, gives newer accounts lower limits and can restrict or block an account for overly intense activity.

  • Process reviewed with a law firm

    This covers the whole process, on LinkedIn and by email - from the first message to handling refusals and objections.

  • Lists and GDPR

    When we build and process lists, we take care to meet the GDPR information obligation.

  • Copy and electronic communication rules

    We prepare connection requests, messages and emails with care for each country's rules on electronic communication.

  • Respect for the recipient

    No pushy follow-ups - after a finished sequence every contact gets a 45-60 day break before the next message. People who unsubscribe or decline go on our exclusion list and will not hear from us again.

Pricing

How much does LinkedIn lead generation cost?

Price depends on the selected channels and the number of companies we reach. On a retainer, the number of leads goes into the contract.

Pay-per-lead

No monthly retainer. You pay only for the leads you confirm, or for meetings that land in your calendar.

  • Every lead is confirmed by your sales team
  • Or pay-per-meeting, for booked meetings only
Retainer with leads in the contract

A fixed monthly fee with the number of leads written into the contract. If we fall short, we keep working until we deliver it, at no extra cost.

  • Number of leads written into the contract
  • We work until it is delivered
What the price depends on
Market size
how many companies qualify to buy your products or services
Number of leads or meetings
how many you want each month
How hard the contacts are to reach
a director at a 500-person manufacturer vs the owner of a local service business
