## Our Clients

What They Handle

## What a LinkedIn outreach VA does

### Builds the prospect list

Searches LinkedIn Sales Navigator and your existing CRM for people who match your ideal customer profile, with a reason on every row, for your approval before anyone is contacted.

### Sends connection requests in your voice

Short, personal, relevant to the prospect, at a steady daily volume that keeps your account healthy.

### Runs the follow-up sequence

Message two, three and four spaced over weeks, each with a reason to reply, stopped the moment a prospect answers.

### Warms prospects through engagement

Comments on and reacts to prospects' posts before and between messages, so the request does not arrive cold.

### Qualifies replies and books calls

Works every reply, asks the qualifying questions you set, and books the discovery call through your link with the notes attached.

### Logs everything in the CRM

Every connection, message and reply recorded against the contact, so LinkedIn becomes a measurable channel rather than a black box.

Dedicated vs automation tools

## A dedicated outreach VA vs LinkedIn automation tools

Automation sends the same message to a thousand people and puts your account at risk, because LinkedIn restricts accounts that behave like machines. A person sending forty relevant messages a day gets replies and keeps the account safe.

A dedicated VA is that person, with a UK team supervising quality.

Why Managed

## Why a managed outreach VA beats a tool or a freelancer

Managed, not just placed.

Your VA is recruited, trained and supervised from our own in-house office. Not automation, not a freelancer profile.

Replaceable without restart cost.

If the fit is wrong, we replace the VA and carry the handover. No re-recruitment, no starting from zero.

No NI, pension, or holiday overhead.

One hourly rate; the employment costs sit with us.

Language and cultural alignment with UK prospects.

Trained on your tone and your market before they send a message in your name.

Your data stays yours.

Every VA signs an NDA and a data-processing agreement, works inside your account and CRM through password managers, and you can revoke access at any time.

3-month probation, no penalty to leave.

The initial term is 12 months, including a 3-month probation in which you can end the engagement without penalty. After 12 months it continues monthly with 30 days' notice.

FAQ

## Common questions about hiring a LinkedIn outreach virtual assistant

### What does a LinkedIn outreach virtual assistant do each day?

Builds the prospect list from Sales Navigator against your ideal customer profile, sends connection requests and follow-ups in your voice from your profile, warms prospects through comments and engagement, qualifies the replies, books the calls into your diary, and logs every conversation in your CRM. You see the replies that matter and the calls that were booked.

### Will running outreach from my profile get my account restricted?

The VA works at a human pace inside LinkedIn's own limits, with no automation tool attached to your account, which is what usually causes a restriction. Connection requests and messages are personalised from the prospect's profile rather than sent as a template blast, and the daily volume is agreed with you and kept steady.

### How do I control what is said in my name?

Every message template and every new angle is approved by you before it is used, and the VA drafts replies to anything outside the approved lines for you to send or amend. Access to your profile is granted through a password manager you control and can be revoked at any time; the conversations stay in your account.

### Can LinkedIn outreach run alongside my email sequences?

Yes, and it usually works better that way: the same prospect sees a connection request, an email and an engagement with their content in a sequence you set, and the reply lands wherever they choose to answer. One VA holds both channels and the CRM record, so nothing is sent twice or missed.

### What does a good week of LinkedIn outreach look like in numbers?

A steady number of personalised requests sent, the acceptance rate, the replies and the calls booked, all in a short weekly line from the VA, alongside the segments that replied and the ones that did not. A channel that produces accepts but no calls is a messaging problem, and the line shows it early enough to change the angle.

### How much does a LinkedIn outreach virtual assistant cost?

The entry rate is £5 per hour for the first 6 months on the Entry tier. After the promotion the lead generation rate card applies: £5.50 per hour full time, £880 a month for 160 hours, or £6.50 per hour part time, £520 a month for 80 hours. Sales Navigator or any other subscription is yours and stays in your name.
