LinkedIn Lead Generation Virtual Assistants
LinkedIn works for B2B, and it stops working the moment it becomes automated spam. iFOVS places Philippines-based assistants who run it as actual outreach — researched, personalised and human.
What your iFOVS LinkedIn assistant does every day
- Builds targeted prospect lists from your ideal customer profile using Sales Navigator
- Researches each prospect properly before any message is sent
- Sends connection requests with a personalised note that references something real
- Runs your follow-up sequence at a human pace, not a bot’s
- Starts conversations rather than pitching in message one
- Books qualified calls into your calendar
- Engages meaningfully with prospect content so your name is familiar before you appear in their inbox
- Keeps your own profile and company page active
- Logs every touch in your CRM
- Reports weekly on requests sent, acceptance rate, replies and calls booked
Systems they work in
LinkedIn Sales Navigator · HubSpot · Salesforce · Pipedrive · Apollo · Lemlist · Calendly · Google Workspace · Notion
Who this works for
- B2B services firms with a high-value offer and a definable target list
- Agencies whose pipeline stops the moment delivery gets busy
- Consultants and fractional executives who need conversations, not impressions
- Recruiters sourcing candidates and clients on the same platform
How we run it, and why it matters
We do not run automation tools that blast connection requests. They get accounts restricted, they damage the personal brand the outreach depends on, and acceptance rates have collapsed as everyone’s inbox filled with them.
What works now is lower volume and higher relevance: a smaller list, real research, a first message that could only have been written to that person. Slower to build, and it does not stop working in six months.
What it costs
LinkedIn lead generation assistants are hired on a straight hourly rate, part-time or full-time.
How to choose a LinkedIn lead generation assistant
This role goes wrong in two directions: too little volume to matter, or enough volume to get the account restricted. You are hiring for the narrow band between them.
Ask for the acceptance rate
Connection requests sent is a vanity number. Acceptance rate tells you whether the targeting and the note are working, and a good assistant knows theirs.
Check they know what gets an account restricted
Daily limits, automation tools and sudden activity spikes all carry risk. Someone who has never had a warning has either been careful or has not done volume.
Test Sales Navigator search building
The difference between a good list and a bad one is entirely in the search. Ask them to build one live for your ideal client.
Read the message sequence they wrote, not one they copied
If the first message could be sent to anyone, it will be ignored by everyone. Ask them to write an opener to a real prospect on your list.
The one question to ask in the interview
What’s your connection acceptance rate, and what did you change to get it there?
What a good answer sounds like: A number, then a change. If they have never measured it, they have been sending, not prospecting.
Frequently asked questions
Will they use my LinkedIn account or their own?
Yours, in almost every case — connection requests from a founder outperform those from an unknown name. Access is via a password manager with individual named credentials, never a shared password.
How many connections a day is safe?
Well below the platform’s limits, and lower than automation tools push. We would rather your account stayed healthy than hit a number.
Do they write the messages?
They draft against your positioning and your voice, and you approve the sequences before anything goes out. After that they personalise each one.
How many calls should I expect?
Entirely dependent on your offer, list and market. Connection acceptance and reply rates vary enormously by seniority, industry and how well the message matches the person receiving it, so a promised figure before we have tested your positioning is a guess dressed up as a commitment. We report connections sent, accepted, replies and calls booked every week from the first week, and we set a target together once there is real data behind it.
What if the person is not a fit?
Replaced at no cost if the fit is wrong early on.
