LinkedIn account got shut down๐Ÿ˜.

I sent 10-15 inmails to LinkedIn premium users (as I can send contact some of them for free, not all) who were working in companies I wanted to work with...


My account got shut down๐Ÿ˜ต.


Looks like I've to leverage email but haven't got much success lately. What it would take from me to get most out of emailing?


Alternatively, is there other ways for contacting?

Which medium would you leverage?

Oh. Why didn't I thought about it earlier.

Anyways, how can I get their phone numbers if I am not connected with them in any way?

And what would you recommend, just dropping voicemail or actually calling them?ย

you're a "hunter" who can't find phone numbers? Also, you had to have done more than just send a dozen inmails to get your account shut down.ย

Wiza is an app that can allow you to collect contact info from LinkedIn

I suspect there was some automation involved...

Maybe there is a way in LI to report people and that is why you got shut down. I know people who use robots like Dux Soup and send out way more than that daily with no blocking

Yes, what are the circumstance behind the shutdown? You have to be doing something pretty egregious for LinkedIn to pull your account over outreach... So what was it?ย

They can't shut down your phone.ย  It works for more than just texting.

personally I love cold email. It works the best for me out of any form of prospecting.ย 

I use SalesNav to find people to email, but I never actually message them on LI. I've tried it a ton with very little success

What automation software were you using on Linkedin?

LinkedIn wouldn't shut you down over a limited amount of premium inMails sent.ย  That's what they're in there for....ย 

Typically, they'll shut you down for sending to many connection requests, and not having enough acceptance back.ย ย 

Either way, call them instead. Follow-Up immediately with email, and if you get linkedin back, hit them up with a message on there too.ย ย
