What are the recommended settings for beginners?
If you just started lead generation on LinkedIn, we recommend the following daily limits that can be set via the Throttling tab (running Dux-Soup expert interface).
Your daily recommended limit settings depend on your LinkedIn profile type.
Regular (free) LinkedIn
Robot Speed
'Visiting profiles' determines the rate at which profiles are visited per hour. It is advisable to maintain a slower speed in the initial stage. Although this may extend the lead generation process, it will ultimately contribute to the safety of your account.
Daily Limits
Profile Visits - defines how many profiles the robot visits per day.
When Dux-Soup is running any LinkedIn action you enabled, it views or 'visits' the profile. If you just started lead generation, we recommend visiting no more than 100 profiles a day.
Connection requests - defines the maximum amount of connection requests Dux-Soup can send per day. You should start slow with 5-10 requests per day.
Direct messages - defines the maximum amount of 1st-degree messages Dux-Soup can send per day. Set this option to the lowest as 25 messages per day.
It is recommended to maintain the suggested settings for a period of two weeks and closely monitor your account. Subsequently, after the two-week period, you can slightly increase the number of connection requests, taking into consideration the rate at which your 1st-degree connection list is expanding, and then monitor your activity for another two weeks - repeat the process.
Sales Navigator
Robot Speed
We recommend keeping the speed slow for the first few weeks, despite having a paid LinkedIn subscription.
Daily Limits
Profile visits - as a Sales Navigator user, you can visit up to 500 profiles a day. However, as these are your first days with Dux-Soup, we recommend setting fewer profile visits to 200 a day.
Connection requests - when it comes to connection requests, we recommend sending them to no more than 3% of the total number of your direct LinkedIn connections. However, as you are a beginner, start with 25 daily requests and gradually increase this number as your acceptance rate grows.
Direct messages - set this option to 50 messages per day; you can also gradually increase this number over weeks until you reach 250 daily messages.
