Fantastic Prospecting Tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used Kennected as an additional prospecting and outreach tool on LinkedIn. I loved that I was able to automate this process and create different target audiences with a unique workflow for each market The tool tracked all of my data (number of connections, 1st message and reply rates, 2nd message and reply rates) which allowed me to adjust the workflow. It also allowed me to take over communication once the prospect replied in the sequence so I could then customize my reply. I was really impressed with the low cost and simplicity of use

Pros

  • Tracking Data
  • Providing recommended messaging
  • Customizing the sequence
  • User-friendly platform

Cons

  • Small adjustment but the interface looked a little dated
  • It limited the number of outgoing messages
  • It did not sync well with my CRM

Return on Investment

  • My revenue was a multiple of the cost
  • Lowered the cost of having a member of my team process this out reach
  • More efficiency in our workflow

Avoid Kennected at all costs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Purchased Kennected to help with automation of LinkedIn outreach to drive sales. We wanted to reach out to our target audience but not need to hire someone to do this or have a need to do it manually. It was ok for a few months and then LinkedIn caught on to not only us but thousands of other user and temporarily suspended our accounts. I asked the sales rep directly if their product violated LinkedIn terms and he said no on two separate occasions.

Pros

  • Their sales team is cool
  • Website looks nice
  • Cheap price

Cons

  • Giving false information to customers
  • Still charging months after a user cancels
  • Support team is wildly ineffective
  • Poor leadership

Return on Investment

  • Has had a negative ROI for us
  • Spent months for nothing
  • Driving accounting nuts because we’re being charged after we cancelled
