LinkedIn Outreach Planner
Your invites and your own rates, projected out to meetings for the month.
LinkedIn outreach is a funnel with three leaks in it: invites that never get accepted, accepted connections that never become a conversation, and conversations that never become a meeting. Multiply those three rates together and you get the only number that matters, which is almost always smaller than people expect the first time they see it written down. This planner runs that arithmetic on your figures, then shows what five points of acceptance would be worth, because acceptance multiplies everything downstream of it. Results here compound from consistency and from targeting the right people, not from raising volume until something breaks.
How to use a projection without lying to yourself with it
- Put in your own rates, not rates you read somewhere. A projection built on somebody else's funnel tells you a great deal about their business and nothing whatsoever about yours.
- With no history yet, run the model twice, once pessimistic and once optimistic. The gap between those two answers is the real output, because it shows you how much of this is still guesswork.
- Acceptance multiplies every stage after it, which is exactly why the sensitivity line is printed. Better targeting lifts acceptance without adding one extra invite to your working day.
- Rounding down at every stage is deliberate. Fractional meetings do not exist, and a model that rounds up quietly manufactures pipeline that never turns up on anybody's calendar.
- Watch the conversation stage rather than obsessing over the invite stage. Accepted connections who never hear a useful word from you are the most common place this funnel silently fails.
- Measure again monthly and replace one assumption at a time. After two months of real numbers the projection stops being a hope and becomes something you can plan hiring around.
Example output
Invites per day / working days / three rates: 20 invites per working day · 20 working days · 30% acceptance · 35% conversation · 20% meeting
Your projection (from your assumptions): Invites sent: 400 per month (20 per working day × 20 working days) Accepted: 120 (your 30% acceptance assumption) Real conversations: 42 (your 35% assumption) Meetings booked: 8 (your 20% assumption) If acceptance were 35%: 9 meetings. Every line above is arithmetic on the rates you typed. None of them is a benchmark, an average, or a result anyone is promising you. Replace each assumption with your own measured rate after a month of real sending and this stops being a projection and becomes a forecast you can plan against.
Frequently asked questions
- Are these numbers benchmarks I should expect to hit?
- No. Every figure the tool prints is arithmetic on the rates you typed into the form. Nothing here is an industry average, a study, or a result anybody is promising you. Enter optimistic assumptions and you will get an optimistic projection, which is precisely why the output labels itself as a projection from your own inputs.
- What acceptance rate should I use if I have no data yet?
- Run it twice with two rates you consider plausible and treat the resulting range as your answer, rather than picking one number because it feels right. Then send for a month, count what actually happened, and replace the guess with the measurement. The value of this tool arrives on your second run, not your first.
- How do I improve these numbers instead of just projecting them?
- Work on the earliest stage first, because acceptance multiplies every stage after it. Tighter targeting, a profile that makes it obvious why you are worth accepting, and a first message about their problem rather than your product all move that stage. Raising volume moves the top of the funnel and none of the rates below it.
- Why is this free, and what's the catch?
- No catch and no signup. This tool is funded by EaseClaw, an AI agent that finds warm buyers on LinkedIn, reaches out for you and books the meetings. If the free tool is useful, some people try the free trial. That's the whole business model.
