Outreach is run by the company's own leadership. Customer since July 2023. Role Staffing agency, outreach run by the company's own leadership Region southern German metropolitan area Customer since July 2023 Data as of September 8, 2026 Network size 2.161 → 7.464 (+245 %) 18.445 Connection requests 38,8 % (3.317 → 1.288) Acceptance rate, core audience (12 months) 1.017 Reactivated existing contacts ≈ 896 h / 112 d Manual work hours saved Staffing is a two-sided market: it needs clients and candidates at the same time. Both sides are reachable on LinkedIn, and both expect regional closeness. An existing network of around 2,100 contacts had grown over the years but sat unused — a dormant asset. At the same time, the operationally involved leadership simply had no time for daily outreach. Deliberately narrowed to the company's own southern German metropolitan area. Rather than spreading efforts nationwide, outreach stays consistently within the company's own catchment area — where meetings and placements actually happen. This is complemented by a reactivated list of existing paying clients. ### Regional networking Connection requests almost exclusively within the company's own region. 18.445 ### Direct conversation opening Welcome messages after the connection is accepted. 4.434 ### Reactivating the existing network Direct messages to existing first-degree contacts — exactly the network that had sat unused for years. 1.017 ### Capacity management Unanswered requests are automatically withdrawn. 13.798 ## Results __Results__ | Network size | 2.161 → 7.464 (+245 %) | | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------- | | Connection requests | 18.445 | | Acceptance rate, core audience (12 months) | 38,8 % (3.317 → 1.288) | | Reactivated existing contacts | 1.017 | | Manual work hours saved | ≈ 896 h / 112 d | > The regional focus is the strongest lever in the entire account. A 38.8 percent acceptance rate is more than double what broadly spread campaigns typically achieve. Coming from the same region, knowing the same companies and travelling the same routes builds acceptance — trust grows through closeness, not reach. A second effect: the existing network became productive again. Over 1,000 contacts that had sat in the network for years were reached out to deliberately. That is revenue potential that was already paid for and simply sitting unused. _Methodology: CompLeadly derives the saved working time from the actions actually carried out — 0.75 minutes per profile visit, 2.5 minutes per connection request, 3 minutes per message — plus 60 percent of the time the software ran unattended. Customers see the same figure in their own weekly report. One person-day equals eight hours. The measurement period is the 2025 calendar year. The figures shown are averages across that period, not peak values. The starting point is based on what the customers reported themselves; there is no controlled before-and-after comparison behind it._ All three analyses side by side, with network growth and acceptance rate per account: [LinkedIn automation case studies](https://compleadly.com/case-studies) Regionally active service providers — staffingtradestax consultingIT system houses — and anyone with a large but inactive LinkedIn network. ## More stories [![Amir](https://media.compleadly.de/media/da283b3f22905895f27bb7fcffea21db9ac670901535c5c067c300028ea9421c-29.avif)AmirRecruitmentHow Amir scaled his recruitment agency – without a large teamRead the full story →](https://compleadly.com/experiences/how-amir-scaled-his-recruitment-agency-without-a-large-team)[![David](https://media.compleadly.de/media/6114dfed3b92cf9e16578d90ea89bdd2197ac14a6fe5e2e12f6b5d04f9133be1-29.avif)DavidFull-service IT solutionsAutomated outreach for IT professionals: How David now has more time for his projectsRead the full story →](https://compleadly.com/experiences/automated-outreach-for-it-professionals-how-david-now-has-more-time-for-his-projects) // loslegen ## The next story could be yours.
