    About LinkedIn outreach

    What is ProspectScout?

    ProspectScout is an all-in-one LinkedIn prospecting and outreach automation platform. Sales Navigator and Recruiter Search are included with paid software plans—no extra search fees. It finds targeted leads, distributes them automatically across multiple LinkedIn senders, and uses conversational AI to handle replies and follow-ups, then share your calendar link so interested prospects can book a meeting—while you watch every conversation and can step in at any time. Pricing starts at $79 per connected account per month. Dedicated Senders—managed LinkedIn accounts—cost $120 per sender per month. Each sender requires a software seat.

    How does ProspectScout work?

    Define your audience with LinkedIn filters, connect your own accounts or add Dedicated Senders, approve your messages and AI instructions, then launch: ProspectScout sends invitations and follow-ups, and its AI manages replies within your instructions while you monitor every thread and take over when needed.

    How is ProspectScout different from other LinkedIn automation tools?

    Most tools only send messages from accounts you already have. ProspectScout also finds targeted prospects, runs one campaign across multiple senders, and lets AI manage replies—with Dedicated Senders available when you need more reach.

    What is the Enterprise plan?

    Enterprise is custom-priced for 51+ accounts. Dedicated Senders cost $120/month each; each sender requires a software seat.

    How are Dedicated Senders different from renting a LinkedIn account?

    Account rental services typically hand you access to someone else's profile and leave automation software, and setup to you. ProspectScout Dedicated Senders cost $120 per sender per month and include the managed LinkedIn account. Each sender requires a software seat; one sender plus one Starter software seat = $199/month. ProspectScout owns, authorizes and maintains every Dedicated Sender, so no logins or credentials are handed over. LinkedIn can still restrict any account, and results are not guaranteed.

    How do you generate franchise leads on LinkedIn?

    Filter LinkedIn for your candidate profile, import matching prospects into a campaign, run outreach across multiple senders, and let ProspectScout AI answer replies and share your booking link. Recruiter Search capabilities add job-seeker signals and are included with eligible paid software.

    Which search option is best for IT sales?

    Sales Navigator is generally the best fit for IT sales because it supports precise targeting by title, seniority, industry, and company. Its search capabilities are included with eligible paid software.

    Can ProspectScout replace an SDR team?

    ProspectScout automates prospect discovery, outreach, and early conversations with interested leads; your team marks appointments once they are booked. Strategy, sales calls, and closing still need your team.

    How does the seven-day software trial work?

    All new self-service software customers start with a mandatory seven-day trial. Credit card required. Renews at $79/mo after 7 days unless canceled. The seven-day trial includes one eligible customer-owned software seat, with Sales Navigator Search and Recruiter Search included.

    Are Dedicated Senders included in the free trial?

    Dedicated Senders are $120/month each. Each sender requires a software seat, with no free trial.

    What is a seat?

    A seat is one connected LinkedIn sender account. Pricing is based on how many accounts you connect to ProspectScout.

    How do I connect my own LinkedIn account?

    Customers connect their own LinkedIn accounts inside the platform with their login; any email verification or two-factor code is entered through the platform.

    What does ProspectScout automate?

    ProspectScout finds prospects with built-in LinkedIn search filters, imports them into your campaign, distributes them across your senders, and sends invitations, messages, and follow-ups. When prospects reply, ProspectScout AI continues the conversation using your instructions.

    What is a Dedicated Sender?

    A Dedicated Sender is a managed LinkedIn account we provide that joins your campaign and runs on ProspectScout AI, giving you more sending capacity without using personal profiles. It costs $120 per month and includes the account. Each sender requires a software seat; each sender consumes one seat.

    How much does ProspectScout cost?

    Starter: $79 per individually purchased seat/month. Team: $499/month for up to 10 accounts. Growth: $999/month for up to 25. Scale: $1,499/month for up to 50. Packages are fixed-price; unused capacity does not reduce the price. Enterprise: custom pricing for 51+ accounts. Dedicated Senders cost $120/month each; each sender requires a software seat.

    Are there setup fees or long-term contracts?

    Software plans have no setup or service fees and subscriptions are month-to-month. The Done-for-You service is separate and has a one-time setup fee. Existing customers keep their current subscription terms unless they choose to move to a new plan.

    Are advanced search capabilities included?

    Sales Navigator and Recruiter Search are included with paid software plans—no extra search fees.

    How does ProspectScout handle replies?

    Every reply is attached to its lead on the Leads page, where positive replies are tagged and filterable. ProspectScout AI answers using the instructions you set—what to pitch, how to respond, and when to share your booking link. You can open any conversation and reply personally or draft with AI, then mark the appointment as set.

    Can I use more than one LinkedIn account on a campaign?

    Yes. A campaign can run across many senders—your own accounts, Dedicated Senders, or both. ProspectScout distributes contacts automatically, and each contact stays with the sender it was assigned to for the whole sequence.

    How many invitations does each account send?

    ProspectScout configures outreach pacing per sender and adjusts it to account conditions; it is not a universally safe LinkedIn allowance. While an account is on a ProspectScout campaign, let the platform send all connection requests and keep other activity on that account to a minimum, so it stays within safe limits.

    Does ProspectScout guarantee leads or appointments?

    No. ProspectScout does not guarantee connections, responses, leads, appointments, sales, or revenue. Results vary with targeting, offer, messaging, timing, and market conditions.

    Can LinkedIn restrict an account?

    Yes. LinkedIn controls its platform and can restrict accounts. ProspectScout uses conservative sending limits, but no provider can guarantee an account will avoid restrictions.
