How to delegate LinkedIn outreach

To delegate LinkedIn outreach, agree on the target profiles, the connection note, and two or three follow-up messages, and decide whether your hire works from your profile or their own. They send connection requests within safe limits, engage with prospects' posts, run the message sequence, and hand warm conversations to you.

Questions about delegating LinkedIn outreach

Is it OK for an assistant to message from my LinkedIn profile?

Many founders do it with clear rules: approved messages, no sensitive topics, and warm conversations handed back to them. Check LinkedIn's terms and decide what you are comfortable with.
