You know LinkedIn is where your buyers are.

They’re not hiding. They’re:

• Commenting on your competitor’s post,

• Sharing Gartner reports they didn’t read,

• Updating their job titles or a new roles or hiring (for the best team of ninjas),

• And casually revealing purchase intent like it’s no big deal.

So why does outbound there feel so broken?

Sales Navigator?

Too slow. Too manual. Too “click, copy, paste, cry.”

If you’re like me, you love a good personal touch.

But you hate doing the same thing 73 times a day.

So when a few friends, GTM leaders, swore by Dripify, I had to check it out.

Is it worth it?

🚨 The Problem

Outbound on LinkedIn should be magic.

Your audience is literally raising their hand—with their posts, their likes, their job changes.

But the built-in tools?

They treat your pipeline like a DIY project from 2009.

• No sequencing

• No smart follow-ups

• No workflows

• Just: click → connect → copy → paste → pray

And if you try to do it all manually?

Well, now your new job title is “Ctrl+C Enthusiast.”

 Enter: Dripify

I’ll be honest—when I first heard about Dripify, I thought it was another janky SaaS from the “lifetime deal” corner of the internet.

But a few GTM friends kept swearing by it, so I gave it a shot.

And here’s the thing…

It’s not perfect.

But it actually works—if you use it right.

The value prop:

It helps you scale semi-personalized LinkedIn outreach without hating your life.

✅ The Good

• Great news: It actually does let you scale. It saves time—like, real time.
  

• 7-day free trial + easy onboarding. You’re up and running fast, no PhD in Chrome extensions required.
  

• You can personalize messages! 🎉 No more “Hey [FirstName]” vibes.
  

• Smart sequencing: Dripify doesn’t blast your entire list at once. It staggers connection requests and follow-ups like a human would.
  

• Flexible list building: Pull leads from Sales Navigator, advanced LinkedIn searches, or upload your own list. Feels powerful.
  

• Integrates with your stack: Yes, even Salesforce. Yes, I know you love Salesforce.
  

• Clear campaign analytics: You can actually understand what’s working (rare in tools like this).
  

• The price: Starts at $29/month. Advanced plans around $79/month per user. Still very startup-friendly.

❌ The Bad

• Connecting your LinkedIn account feels… risky. I didn’t get flagged, but a lot of Reddit warriors and G2 commenters are nervous about bans.
  

• No lead-level intelligence. I want to know what my prospect posted, what their company is doing, and tailor my message. Not possible here (yet).
  

• No time zone control. I’d love to send messages when someone’s most likely to reply. Morning? Lunch? Not 3AM on a Tuesday.
  

• Customer support? Kinda bad. Disconnecting my LinkedIn account took too long and felt like solving a CAPTCHA from 2009.

🤡 The Ugly

• Workflows are not beginner-friendly. I spent 15+ minutes just figuring out what each box did.
  

• Templates are meh. Once I got it, the features were great (wait steps, personalization, fallback moves like follow/like if no response)—but they were buried.
  

• Workflow auto-pauses if someone replies. Sounds helpful… until you miss the DM and ghost them by accident. Ouch.
  

• Another tool in your stack. That fatigue is real. Dripify only does LinkedIn, so it’s one more login for your team to juggle.

⚖️ Verdict

I used it with a super basic workflow—automated connection requests, followed by manual, personalized messages to those who accepted (yes, still with the help of SalesNav 🙃).

Did it save me time? Absolutely.

Would I recommend it?

This Week Bonus 🎁

Want more options in this space? A few worth exploring:

• SalesRobot – Like Dripify but with more aggressive automation and multi-channel workflows. Feels more hacker-ish.

•  LinkedRadar – Super lightweight. Decent for solopreneurs or small teams that just want easy automation.

• Waalaxy – Strong UI/UX, good if you’re new to LinkedIn outreach.

• PhantomBuster – Power tool. Insanely flexible, but very technical.

• LaGrowthMachine – Great for multi-step, multi-channel plays across email + LinkedIn.

Each has tradeoffs—I’ll break them down in a future issue.

(Yes, I’m drowning in these too.)
