Why 97% of LinkedIn Outreach Fails
Most people think LinkedIn prospecting fails because of:
- ❌ Bad templates
- ❌ Wrong targeting
- ❌ Poor timing
But the real problem? Human limitations in a machine-driven world.

- Loses context between conversations
- Burns out after 2-3 months of manual prospecting

- $50,000+ salary for a junior SDR
