There’s one thing I can’t stand as a digital marketer: LinkedIn limits.

They slow down LinkedIn prospecting SO much: a measly 200 InMails messages and 200 connection requests limits each week. It’s like being a race car driver stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Frustrating, right?

I’ve got value to be offering, thank you very much! But — what’s a salesman (or woman) to do?

Get kicked off LinkedIn for sending too many messages?

Let’s just say: where there’s a will, there’s a way, my friend!

The Game Changer: “Open to InMail” Profiles:

Here’s a little-known fact: there’s a group of LinkedIn users who are your ticket to breaking free from this bottleneck. So, approximately 30% of LinkedIn’s 900 million users aka nearly 300 million. That’s a whole bunch of people who are open to InMails.

Example of Open to Inmail Profile

They’ve opted to receive cold InMails and messaging them doesn’t count against your weekly limit. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?
