Get your free profile feedback (as a video). We have already given over 9,000 feedback sessions—and immediately increased our customers' acceptance rate by 20–30%.
A few weeks ago, a sales manager wrote to me:
“I sent over 100 connection requests—almost no one accepts.”
He was convinced his profile looked good. But after 10 seconds, I knew why nobody was responding: – No clear benefit in the headline – An About section that read like a CV – And a banner that had nothing to do with his target audience.
After the free profile feedback, he changed just three things. Two days later, he wrote to me:
“I got 22 acceptances from 35 requests—it has never been this easy.”
I see this every day: Many people miss opportunities not because of their message, but because of what people see above it: their profile.
Here are the 5 points I see in every successful profile:
1️⃣ A headline that explains in one sentence who you help and what you achieve for them. 2️⃣ A banner that immediately shows your positioning. 3️⃣ An About section structured like a short story, not a list of facts. 4️⃣ A CTA at the end: How can people get in touch with you? 5️⃣ And a clear structure, not a jumble of buzzwords.
👉 What you can take away from more than 9000 profile reviews: Your profile isn’t a CV. It’s your landing page. Even small changes can significantly increase your acceptance rate.
Now for the good news: We offer free profile feedback to everyone who signs up. Even if you don’t want to use our tool afterwards. No problem.
You’ll receive a free, personally made video AND a checklist of what to change on your profile.

Your profile matters in recruiting, too
If you contact candidates, you’ll be judged on the same five points. A recruiter whose headline says “Talent Acquisition” and whose About section is empty looks generic next to one who explains in a sentence which roles and team she’s recruiting for. For applicants, the profile is the application portfolio a hiring manager opens first after receiving a request. Once your profile is ready, CompLeadly can handle the first contact: visiting profiles, sending connection requests and sending an opening message after a request is accepted. This works for contacts from your recruiter pipeline, a Sales Navigator list or a people search. Perfect LinkedIn Profile: Career Success in 6 Steps shows you how to set up your profile for a job search; you’ll find the related recruiting page under Contact candidates.
