There is a massive hidden feature in pain sight on LinkedIn: When LinkedIn tells you X person also commented on a post - that is a sign of active people that LinkedIn recommends to engage with. These are the most active members on the platform. Comments are king as they show up like posts on people's feed and people comment much more easily than post. You should connect with these people over the "people you may know" who are among the bottom 99% of inactive users most likely. You have a weekly limit for connections so make them count. Only one thing matters long term: Quality>Quantity

I have to give all the credit to @Cam Beaudoin on this one, he gave this tip a few weeks ago and I wanted to test it out. If you generate your leads using LinkedIn Sales Nav, turn on the "Posted On LinkedIn" filter. We didn't even need a full sample size to confirm this is an insanely good improvement. Messages Sent and Response Rates: Group A: 988 messages sent, 10 responses (Response Rate: 1.01%) Group B: 334 messages sent, 19 responses (Response Rate: 5.69%) Why It's Statistically Significant: The statistical test produced a very low p-value (approximately 4.56e-07), indicating that the difference between the response rates is highly unlikely to be due to chance. This shows the gap between the response rates is substantial and meaningful.
