LinkedIn outreach glossary

Reply rate

Reply rate is the share of contacted prospects who respond to your outreach, the clearest signal of message-market fit.

On LinkedIn, reply rate is measured after a connection is accepted and a follow-up is sent. Personalized, relevant follow-ups that reference the prospect's role or company consistently outperform generic pitches.

AI-written touches drafted from each lead's profile raise reply rates by making every message specific, while a unified inbox ensures no reply is missed while intent is warm.
