Your LinkedIn inbox is the heart of your B2B LinkedIn marketing efforts. It's where you connect with potential leads, nurture relationships, and convert prospects into clients.

To help you make the most of this powerful tool, we've created the ultimate guide to mastering your LinkedIn inbox. Here are the best practices and strategies that will take your outreach to the next level:


1. Efficient Follow-Ups with Snooze and Close Conversations

In the fast-paced world of B2B outreach, timing is crucial. Use the snooze feature to schedule follow-ups for a few weeks down the road, ensuring your engagement remains timely and relevant. Don't forget to close discussions that aren't a good fit for your company to streamline your inbox and focus on promising leads.


2. Streamline Your Inbox with Conversation Filters

Managing a bustling LinkedIn inbox can be overwhelming. Use our conversation filters to segment your inbox by categories like open, unread, snoozed, closed, and "your turn." This feature simplifies organization and helps you prioritize interactions effectively.



3. Know Your Prospects Inside Out with Conversation Details

Understanding your prospects is key to effective engagement. Access comprehensive prospect information right from your inbox, including their email, phone number, location, job title, company, and the campaign source that led them to you. Personalize your outreach for maximum impact.




4. Precision with Inbox Tag Filters

Harness the power of tagging to locate specific conversations effortlessly. Whether you're looking for leads from a particular campaign or those with specific attributes, filtering by tags streamlines your search and makes your outreach highly targeted.





5. Tailor Your Approach with Blacklist of Companies

Some companies may not align with your campaign goals. Use the "blacklist of companies" feature to exclude specific companies from all your campaigns. This ensures that your outreach remains focused on the most promising prospects.



6. Data-Driven Decisions with Statistics

Data is your ally in LinkedIn marketing success. Monitor the performance of your users and their campaigns with ease. This valuable insight enables you to fine-tune your strategy for optimal results.




7. Gauge Campaign Impact with Likely-Positive Conversations

Understanding which campaigns drive likely-positive responses is crucial. Our main dashboard offers a clear view of how each campaign is performing, allowing you to focus your efforts where they matter most.





8. Boost Your Outreach with InMail Campaigns

Need to increase your weekly invitations? Our InMail campaigns are designed for just that purpose. Expand your reach and connect with more prospects.





9. Efficiency Meets Effectiveness with New Inbox Templates

Our inbox templates are designed to make your life easier. Respond to leads more efficiently, ensuring that your interactions are both effective and professional.

Examples of Successful Invite Messages

❌ Avoid: "I'd like to add you to my professional network."

• Mention Mutual Connections

❌ Avoid: Sending a generic invite.

✅ Success: "Hello {receiver.first_name}, I noticed we share connections with {Mutual Connection}. I thought it would be great to connect and explore potential synergies."



Examples of Effective Follow-Up Messages

• Engage with a Relevant Article

❌ Avoid: Pushy sales pitches.

✅ Success: "Hi {receiver.first_name}, I recently came across this insightful article on {Topic}. I thought you might find it interesting. Let's connect and discuss it further."



• Acknowledge Shared Interests

❌ Avoid: Ignoring previous interactions.

✅ Success: "Hello {receiver.first_name}, I recall our recent conversation about {Topic}. I've had some new insights and wanted to share them with you. Let's catch up soon!"
