Will this get my LinkedIn account restricted?
The risky tools are the ones that send on autopilot, all day, from servers you don't control. Truffle Hound doesn't. You press send on every connection, from your own browser, and you set your own daily limit. It looks like you because it is you.
Where do the leads come from?
Wherever your best customers are listed. The hound finds specialist sources, like trade associations, industry directories and award lists, as well as Google and LinkedIn searches. It reads each company's website to check the fit, then finds the right people on LinkedIn. It doesn't sell you a database.
Can I search by company as well as by person?
Yes. Search for companies first, by sector, size or location, and the hound finds the right person inside each one. Or search for people directly, by role and seniority.
What does the sniff score actually measure?
How well the company fits your customer, whether the person's role means they can buy, any signs they need you now, and how easy they are to reach. It adds up to 100, and every score comes with the reasons in plain words. Around 70 and above counts as qualified.
How specific should I be?
Very. Say the sector, location, company size and the exact roles you want. "Purchasing decision makers at independent UK pet retailers" works. "People in the pet industry" doesn't.
Can it tell which businesses really use what we sell?
Often, yes. It reads each company’s website for signs, like whether a brewery bottles its own beer or a bakery sells wholesale. Tell it what to look for and it scores each company on it.
How many invites should I send?
You choose. The default is 20 to 25 a day. We recommend around 150 a week at most, depending on how active you are on LinkedIn and how many days a week you send. If you're very active you can go a little higher, but err on the side of caution. You press send on every one, so nothing goes out on autopilot.
Is it only LinkedIn?
Yes. It's built for LinkedIn.
What does it cost?
We're in beta and haven't set a price yet. Early access teams help us set it.
