Startup Idea: Automated LinkedIn Messenger Tool for Sales Outreach

Startup idea to build a software that automates private messaging during sales outreach on LinkedIn. This tool should profile visit and send a personalized message to leads, improving the efficiency of salespeople and saving significant time.

I am a video marketing advisor for a tech start up specialising in animated explainer videos. My job involves pitching our services to decision makers at various tech companies who we feel would benefit from our service.

During the sales cycle, specifically when doing outreach, I would use software such as DuckSoup or Social Lead Machine. These add ons operated through LinkedIn. They would automatically visit lead profiles, and the lead would see that i had "visited" them, thereby creating a touch point for a future sale. Whilst these tools were largely effective, I constantly wished they included automated private message options. This would eliminate a huge labour from the work flow of anyone in my position (sales outreach) and should not be difficult to program. Yes, I searched for social lead machine automated messages, and duck soup automated message, and linkedin message bot

I solved the problem by manually sending all of my linkedin messages, using copied and pasted templates.
