LinkedIn Safety Playbook - How to Run High-Volume Prospecting Without Tripping LinkedIn’s Security
1. Access & Login Safety
-
VPN / Static IP:
-
Always log in through a VPN with a static IP address in the client’s region (e.g., same city as their usual login).
-
No IP hopping — LinkedIn flags big changes in location.
-
-
Remote Desktop Alternative:
-
Set up a remote desktop (Amazon WorkSpaces, Windows RDP, etc.) and always log in from the same virtual machine.
-
-
Secure Credential Sharing:
-
Use LastPass, 1Password, or Dashlane to share logins — never send passwords via email or chat.
-
2. Profile Warm-Up Before Outreach
(If it’s a brand-new or dormant account)
-
Spend 5–7 days doing light, natural activity before sending large volumes of messages:
-
View profiles.
-
Like/comment on posts.
-
Connect with a few relevant people daily.
-
-
This builds trust signals in LinkedIn’s algorithm.
3. Daily Activity Limits (Safe Ranges)
-
Connection Requests: 20–50/day max (start low, increase gradually).
-
InMails: 20–30/day max (Sales Navigator limits vary by plan).
-
Messages to 1st-degree connections: Up to 100/day is fine if spread out.
-
Profile Views: 50–100/day.💡 Spread activity throughout the day — no “bulk bursts.”
4. Automation & Tools
-
Avoid browser extensions that send requests too fast — LinkedIn can detect abnormal behavior.
-
If using automation (e.g., Expandi, Waalaxy, Dripify), keep delays human-like (30–90 sec between actions).
-
Never run automation 24/7 — max 8–10 hours/day.
5. Messaging Safety
-
Avoid spammy templates (“Buy now”, “Limited offer”, “Click here”) in first outreach.
-
Personalize: mention role, company, or relevant detail.
-
Keep first messages under 300 characters for higher acceptance and less risk.
6. Behavior Red Flags That Trigger Restrictions
-
Sending 100+ connections daily for multiple days.
-
Logging in from multiple countries in short time.
-
Copy-pasting the same message to hundreds without personalization.
-
Receiving too many “I don’t know this person” reports.
7. Recovery Steps if Restricted
-
For “verification required”: complete email/SMS check.
-
For temporary ban: pause activity for 3–5 days, then resume at lower limits.
-
For permanent ban: contact LinkedIn support with proof of identity (photo ID, email confirmation). Recovery is not guaranteed.
📌 Best Practice for Maestros Millonarios Clients
-
Always run outbound from their real profile (decision-makers get better response rates).
-
Have Sales Navigator Core activated before starting.
-
Keep login location consistent via VPN/static IP or remote desktop.
-
Follow warm-up & daily limits religiously — especially in the first 2 weeks.
