ThoughtCloud Linkedin Prospecting FAQs
ThoughtCloud is a proven and complete LinkedIn lead generation agency (not a just tool like dux-soup or Linked Helper) that does all the top of funnel work for you:
- Build qualified lists of your key decision makers active on LinkedIn
- Write tested and clear cold outreach messages that actually get responded to
- Send thousands of direct and personal messages to qualified decision makers you approve of
- Generate positive responses straight to your LinkedIn inbox for you to close the deal
On average, ThoughtCloud's clients are seeing between 10-50 qualified leads per month for every 1,000 prospects engaged. That roughly equates to about $10 to $60 per lead on average.
The total amount of qualified leads depends on the following factors:
- How great is product your market fit?
- How active is your target audience on LinkedIn?
- How much can you differentiate yourself from competition?
- How professional and persuasive is your LinkedIn profile?
- How clear and persuasive is your cold outreach messages?
We keep track and sends monthly metrics reports of your LinkedIn outreach data (total prospects, connections sent, connections accepted, prospects messaged, total responses, messages sent, etc).
Complete metrics reporting is only available with the Gold and Platinum plans.
