Lead It runs LinkedIn outbound continuously, scanning triggers, scoring fit, writing personalized messages, triaging replies. Five minutes a day to approve. Meetings end up on your calendar. Structured, plannable, effective. The job, finally done.
You know you should be running LinkedIn outbound. You're almost certainly not. It's not laziness. You're working harder than you ever have. It's that the job itself is awful, and no tool fixes that.
Hours of profile-reading and message-writing for a handful of replies, most of which go nowhere. Unclear ROI on the time spent. Easy to deprioritize when client work is screaming.
Most operators won't say it out loud, but there's the part where outbound feels like asking a stranger to dance. So you don't.
Apollo, Smartlead, Gojiberry. They optimize sending, the part you were going to do anyway. The thinking half stays just as shitty. So they sit in browser tabs you don't open.
A week of effort, then quiet. Three weeks later, the calendar is empty, the shame compounds, and the cycle restarts on a Tuesday night that goes nowhere.
The wound isn't that tools are too expensive. It's that the job shouldn't have to be done by a human anymore.
Same outbound work. Different operator. Lead It moves the human from drafter to approver, from chaser to reviewer. Five minutes a day, planned and finite.
Lead It is not a button you press. It's a continuous Claude routine. Triggers are scanned overnight, prospects are scored, messages are drafted, replies are triaged. You inherit a queue, not a blank page.
Hires, posts, comments, funding, jobs. Lead It listens to LinkedIn and your trigger feeds 24/7 so you don't have to refresh anything.
Title, company stage, recent signals, mutuals, your sent history. Anything below your threshold never makes the queue. You only ever see the top tier.
Their actual post, hire, or funding goes into the draft. No "Hi {firstName}, I came across your profile." Each message references something real.
The human is the final filter, not the first drafter. Approve in one tap, edit in five seconds, or skip. The system handles cadence, follow-ups, and reply triage from there.
The other tools optimize the wrong half. They speed up sending. We move the human out of drafting. Different category, different outcome.

Founders, consultants, and GTM leads who'd given up on LinkedIn. They're not power users. They're allergic users. That's the test.
“I'd tried Apollo, Smartlead, and three Gojiberry trials before this. They all sped up the wrong half. Lead It is the first thing where the human part actually feels small. Five minutes a morning, three meetings a week, no shame spiral. I forgot what that felt like.”
“I went from 6 LinkedIn messages a quarter to 30 a week. The bigger shift: I stopped dreading Tuesdays. The queue is just there when I open Claude.”
“What sold me was the 'human is the final filter, not the first drafter' framing. After two weeks, I realized that's actually true. I'm reviewing, not writing.”
“Bought Local on the founders' price. The fact that nothing leaves my machine is the only reason I could push it through procurement.”
“My LinkedIn account hasn't been flagged once. I sent 14,000 messages in the first 90 days. Zero bans. Zero warnings.”
Not a vibes-based "satisfaction guarantee." A real, measurable contract with three observable conditions. We send the refund first and ask questions later.
Five minutes a morning, four out of five weekdays, for thirty days. The Skill keeps the streak count itself, so there's nothing to track.
Fewer than 2 booked meetings and fewer than 5 qualified replies after 30 days. The Skill computes both numbers from your live thread data.
No call. No questionnaire. No "are you sure?" upsell. We process the refund within three business days and you keep every template, opener, and trigger you saved.
Real objections from real demos. Answered honestly, including the ones we'd rather not address.
Neither. Lead It is a Skill that runs inside Claude. You install it once, then trigger it from any Claude conversation by typing /lead-it. No browser extension to get flagged. No dashboard to log into. No tab to leave open.
Those tools speed up the writing half of outbound, the part you were going to do anyway. Lead It compresses the thinking half: who to message, when, and why. The human part shrinks from 90 minutes to 5. We compare them line-by-line in Section 5.
Not if you run it as designed. Lead It Local enriches and queues messages on your machine using human-paced patterns. No headless browsers, no API scraping, no automated send. You hit send inside LinkedIn, the way you always did. Across 14,000+ messages from operators in private beta: zero bans, zero warnings.
Caveat: if you're already on a 5-strike LinkedIn warning, no tool can save you. We'll tell you that before you buy.
Same product, two ownership models. Local is a one-time purchase ($1,497 founders' price) that runs entirely on your machine. Your prospect data never leaves your laptop. Cloud is a $199/mo subscription that adds cross-device sync, server-side scoring that improves as the network grows, and hosted enrichment that runs while your laptop is closed. Switch between them whenever you want.
Yes. Sales Navigator Core ($99/mo from LinkedIn) is required. The ICP Builder generates Sales Nav filter URLs, and the trigger feeds rely on Sales Nav lead lists. We don't resell it; you keep your existing seat. If you don't have one, the 14-day free LinkedIn trial covers your onboarding window.
Most operators run 18-25 first-touches per day on a single LinkedIn account, plus 30-40 reply turns. The Skill enforces account-safe limits automatically and slows down if LinkedIn's rate signals shift. Cloud users on multi-account orchestration push 60-80/day across two accounts, but that's a cash-flow choice, not a default.
Installing a Skill is one click in Claude, same as a Chrome extension. You don't write code, configure APIs, or touch a terminal. The 20-minute Onboarding Walkthrough Video covers the whole setup, including connecting LinkedIn and importing your first ICP.
Local: nothing. Your data was always on your machine. Cancel and the Skill stops; the database stays. Cloud: we hold your data for 60 days, then purge. You can export everything (prospects, threads, templates) as JSON or CSV from inside the Skill, any time, with one command.
You have to actually run the Daily Routine 4 of 5 weekdays for 30 days. The Skill tracks the streak itself, so it's not a paperwork burden, but if you skip half the days you don't qualify. That's the only condition. We don't ask why you want a refund, don't pitch you on staying, don't make you fill out a form. One email, three business days.
Both. The Skill drafts and queues for LinkedIn DMs, LinkedIn InMails, and cold email, using the same ICP, triggers, and reply playbook. Most operators run a 70/30 LinkedIn-to-email split; the Skill handles the channel routing per prospect based on where they're more responsive.
Five minutes a morning. Three meetings a week. Zero shame spirals. The Pipeline Promise covers you for 30 days.
We built Lead It because we were the people it's for.
Two of us ran outbound at companies you've heard of. We hated it. Not because cold prospecting is hard. Because the tools sold us speed for the wrong half of the work. We didn't need to write faster. We needed to think less about who to write to and when.
So we wrote a Skill that does the thinking part. It runs inside Claude, where most of us already spend half our day. It owns the queue, the timing, and the boring research. We own the human moment. The 30 seconds it takes to read a draft and hit send.
If you've tried Apollo, Smartlead, or the latest LinkedIn automation tool and felt the same fatigue, this is built for you. If you haven't, it's built for the version of you that would have, six months from now.
