We can all agree that LinkedIn can be a goldmine of B2B leads – from thought-leaders to decision-makers – there are endless veins of opportunities waiting to be discovered. With every connection made, brings you one step closer to striking it big, but with any goldmine, there’s a risk in mining too aggressively. If you are overly zealous in your approach to outreach, LinkedIn’s stringent policies and restrictions could flag your account – potentially collapsing your mine for good. That’s where outreach automation tools, like HeyReach, step in.

After several hours of research and testing, I detail out the pros, the cons, and why you should consider HeyReach to be the answer to all your B2B lead generation woes.

HeyReach Summary:

What Is HeyReach (And Who Is It For)?

As I’ve already mentioned, HeyReach is an outreach automation tool that specializes in lead generation – specifically for LinkedIn. It is designed to help agencies, sales teams, and GTM experts generate leads in a structured and scalable way – without breaking the rules or gaming the system. 

If I were to summarize what HeyReach excels at best, it would be:

• Scaling outreach with multi-account management. 

• Extracting clean, relevant data.

• Centralizing all conversations in one Unibox.

• Forward-thinking CRM integrations.  

HeyReach Key Features and Functions 🔑

As far as LinkedIn outreach tools go, HeyReach is in a league of its own thanks to powerful automation tools that help you find the right people, the right way. 

Dashboard Overview 💻

When we dive into the dashboard, you’ll see that HeyReach provides an intuitive overview of crucial performance metrics between LinkedIn senders and campaigns.

You can download data from your dashboard in 3 formats:

• CSV: For spreadsheet analysis and sharing.

• PNG: For image-based sharing, useful in presentations.

• SVG: For scalable vector graphics, ideal for high-quality visual reports.

These formats are designed with seamless sharing of performance data between team members and clients in mind. 

Multi-account Outreach 🏘️

To fully understand how game-changing this feature truly is, we first need to understand how it came to be. In recent years, LinkedIn limited the amount of connections you could send per day to around 20-25 connections (with a weekly limit of 100). 

Today, accounts that exceed this limit are either flagged, restricted, or even banned (especially if they already have multiple offenses). A simple Google search will show you that there’s no REAL solution, other than optimizing your account and targeting quality leads only. 

HeyReach’s solution to all this? Multi-account outreach. HeyReach helps you scale your outreach by, simply, scaling your senders instead. This means that you can add multiple accounts/senders to one campaign and it will automatically rotate between accounts, making sure to not exceed the daily limit.

One thing to note – if your selected sender is already active in another campaign, the number of connections they can send/perform will be lower than what you have set in your campaign. 

Seamless CRM Integrations 🤝

HeyReach is built for seamless CRM integrations, effortlessly syncing your lead data with HubSpot, Pipedrive, and even... Breakcold 😉. Say goodbye to the hassle of switching between platforms — HeyReach saves you time by eliminating the need to import/export data, ensuring your outreach strategy runs like clockwork.

Unibox ✉️

Thanks to a centralized inbox — aptly named Unibox by HeyReach — sales teams can track all their conversations from start to finish and even respond on behalf of other team members.

The Unibox is separated into 3 distinct segments: 

• The Message Tab: Where all communication between LinkedIn senders is compiled, complete with a filter tab to easily locate your leads.

• The Conversation Tab: Where all the action takes place.

• The Lead Info Tab: Where you can find crucial information about your lead while engaging with them.

The fun doesn’t stop there – the Unibox also features a productivity tool called Canned Messages. This allows sales teams to set up a variety of message and response templates, with the added option to automate these messages when a predetermined criteria is met.

Beyond engaging with leads and automating responses, HeyReach has also made it possible to:

• Assign tags to your leads.

• Add your leads directly into your CRM.

• Duplicating/migrating a lead into another lead list.

• Adding your leads into other campaigns.

Security 🔒

HeyReach remains steadfast in the security and protection of your account through three key measures:

Adhering to LinkedIn’s Follow Restrictions

As I've mentioned earlier, LinkedIn allows each account up to 100 connection requests per week. HeyReach ensures no sender account exceeds this limit and automatically freezes accounts approaching the threshold until the counter resets every Monday at 2 AM PT. No manual intervention required — it's all fully automated.

Adhering to LinkedIn’s Action Restrictions 

Each account on LinkedIn is given a maximum of 200 actions per day. Anything you do on LinkedIn from viewing an account or sending a message constitutes as an action and will also be automatically frozen by HeyReach when a sender account is close to the limit. 

Providing a Static Residential Proxy

It’s standard practice for LinkedIn to track the IP addresses of their users. They do this to make sure your accounts are protected and adhere to the user agreement that prohibits users from creating false identities or using another's account. Breaking these rules could result in account restrictions or even a ban if suspicious activity is detected. 

Now, HeyReach keeps your sender accounts safe by deploying a static residential proxy to each of your accounts (which is like a permanent house address for your profile 🏠). It remains consistent at all times and never shares that IP address to another account ever – ensuring your profiles/sender accounts stay in line with LinkedIn’s rules and regulations. 

Lead Generation Powerhouse 💪

Pardon my French, but HeyReach makes prospecting incredibly f*cking easy. It can be as simple as selecting a few filters, providing the right prompts, and voilà – you have a list of the hottest leads that match your priority data. 

HeyReach streamlines prospecting endeavours further by providing multiple ways to import lead data and here are some of the options:

• LinkedIn Search Bar (Leads)

• Sales Navigator (Leads)

• LinkedIn Recruiter

• LinkedIn Event (Attendees)

• LinkedIn Post (Reactors)

• Import from CSV

Final Thoughts + Takeaways 💭

While there are plenty of LinkedIn automation tools out there, not many come close to achieving what HeyReach is doing for agencies, sales teams, and GTM experts. From its multi-account outreach to its intuitive lead generator, you’d be hard pressed to find an alternative that helps you scale your outreach in a structured and secure way.

Sure, you can say that HeyReach lacks an email outreach module which significantly limits it as a tool, but when 80% of your leads hang out on LinkedIn, are you really limited by the tool or your strategy? Every tool has its limitations, but in the case of HeyReach, I can guarantee the benefits far outweigh them.
