❌ Skip Dux-Soup - LinkedIn flags it fast, kills your account reach.
✅ What actually works:
- Manual posts (always beats automation)
- HeyReach for connection sequences (stay under 100/week)
- Sales Nav + Clay for list building → then sequence in your CRM
If automating:
- Max 20-30 connections/day
- Personalize every request (no templates)
- Stop immediately if warning appears
Most GTM teams doing 500+ contacts/month use Clay → HubSpot/Salesforce sequences, not LinkedIn automation. Safer + better tracking.
