125 accounts and 250 people, 250 LinkedIn connection requests and about 158 verified work emails for the follow-up.
Give this to your agent
Using RouterGrowth, run this workflow: Connect on LinkedIn with heads of marketing at startups who posted about outbound or cold email results, then message the ones who accept. 250 people, personalized from their posts. Show me the price before every call, and stop after each stage with a sample of the results so I can adjust. 1. Source the accounts: company.search x 13 searches. Companies matching the industry, size and location, ten or so per search. 2. Qualify on firmographics: company.enrich x 125 companies. Headcount, industry and location to keep the accounts that fit. 3. Find the people: people.search x 250 profiles. 2 contacts per account by title and seniority, with current role. 4. Get the contact: contact.find x 175 (250 tried, 70% found), contact.verify x 175 verdicts, linkedin.profile x 250 profiles read. Charged on a match only: a miss is free, so the estimate is a ceiling. 5. Context for the first line: web.scrape x 125 pages, social.posts x 750 posts. One page per account and a few recent posts per person, so the opener is about them. 6. Run the outreach: email.send x 474 (158 contacts x 3 steps), linkedin.invite x 250 requests, linkedin.message x 75 (30% accepted). Connection request first, email to the rest; both from accounts you own. 7. Read the replies: email.messages x 48 inbox reads, linkedin.messages x 25 inbox reads. Poll the inboxes, classify replies, hand the warm ones to a human. Before sending: email.domain x 1, email.inbox x 1, on a domain I own. Budget for one run: about $11.98 plus $4.66 one-time setup. Run routergrowth inspect on any capability before the first call to confirm the quote.

Why it works
A marketing leader sharing outbound numbers is proud of them or worried about them. Either way the numbers are the conversation.
On LinkedIn the signal and the channel are the same place: what someone posted is the reason to connect, and the connection is the conversation. These workflows find people by role and segment, read their recent posts, send a connection request with a note about what they wrote and message the ones who accept.
The first line, as your agent would write it
The reply rates you shared are well above what most teams post. What changed between that campaign and the one before?
The workflow
7 stages and 2,735 calls on one key. Every call is quoted and reserved before it runs, and a lookup that finds nothing releases the hold.
Companies matching the industry, size and location, ten or so per search.
Headcount, industry and location to keep the accounts that fit.
2 contacts per account by title and seniority, with current role.
Charged on a match only: a miss is free, so the estimate is a ceiling.
One page per account and a few recent posts per person, so the opener is about them.
Connection request first, email to the rest; both from accounts you own.
Poll the inboxes, classify replies, hand the warm ones to a human.
Sending infrastructure you own: a verified domain and enough inboxes for the daily limit. Charged once, reused on every run.
The receipt
About $11.98 for the whole run, plus $4.66 once for the sending inboxes. No subscription and no seats: each call is paid from a prepaid balance at the price shown before it runs.

FAQ
Yes, from your own account. You connect it once through a hosted sign-in, then linkedin.search, linkedin.invite and linkedin.message run as you, inside daily caps the platform enforces.
Up to 30 a day per account, 20 in the first week, and 180 a week. The limit is enforced on every call, so a workflow of 300 people is spread over a couple of weeks.
One line about something the person posted. social.posts reads their recent posts so the agent can write a note that could only have been sent to them.
linkedin.messages shows who accepted and who replied. The agent messages the people who accepted and, in the workflows that say so, emails the ones who did not.
About $11.98 for one run of 2,735 calls, plus $4.66 once for the sending inboxes. Each call is quoted before it runs and a lookup that finds nothing is not charged, so the figure is a ceiling. There is no subscription: the run is paid from a prepaid balance.
