Why is LinkedIn the best channel for global B2B prospecting?
The core of prospecting is finding real, accurate customers and building enough trust for a business conversation — and LinkedIn concentrates both in one place. It covers 200+ countries and regions with 1.3B+ users and 71M+ companies, so there is enough scale to keep prospecting. People appear under real professional identities showing their company, role and history, so you can tell who someone is and whether they are worth talking to. Company, industry, experience and relationships sit together, making fit and entry points easy to assess. Outreach grounded in professional identity and business relevance reads as a business conversation rather than a cold intrusion.
How does it compare with hiring human sales reps?
Hiring typically takes 2–6 weeks to find the right person and another 1–3 months to ramp them up. Output depends heavily on the individual and on management, and when they leave, the relationships often leave with them. The bot starts working as soon as it is installed, runs year-round, follows the pace and criteria you set, and keeps every profile and conversation on the local machine. The practical setup is both together: the bot does the continuous prospecting and follow-up, and the sales rep takes over the high-intent prospects.
How do the AI bot and human sales divide the work?
Customer development suits LinkedIn + AI: defining the target market, finding companies and decision-makers, judging fit and opening a credible conversation — repetitive and time-consuming. Closing suits human sellers: discovery, proposals and negotiation need domain experience and judgment. HeyCivis handles the first half and hands interested prospects to the sales team — it does not replace them.
How is this different from products like Salesforge or AiSDR?
The real difference is deployment and data ownership. Cloud SaaS keeps customer profiles and conversation history on a third-party platform where the data belongs to the vendor, and usually meters by active contacts, search credits or AI messages with hard caps. HeyCivis runs on the local machine: profiles, conversations and process data stay local and accumulate into the company’s own customer asset, with no hard cap by contacts or message count — real throughput follows the account’s safe usage pace.
How does the bot work on its own?
Once started, the bot assigns tasks by itself during the active window (9:00–19:00): based on each prospect’s stage, it sends connection requests, checks request status and follows up, with search, screening, connecting and follow-up chained together. Actions run at a human-like pace — 5–8 seconds between actions, auto-rest of 10–20 minutes after 45–65 minutes of running — and the daily task plan and execution log are visible in the workspace at any time.
How do you make sure only the right people get contacted?
Search terms are generated automatically from the business intro and prospecting goal. For each candidate, the bot reads public profile data — role, company, industry, region and experience — and checks them against the target profile and screening criteria, with a reason for each decision. Unmatched prospects are closed with a recorded reason and never enter the connection flow. Prospects already known to be a fit can be imported directly as seed customers.
How is account risk managed?
Operations fully mimic a real person: active 9:00–19:00, 5–8 seconds between actions, auto-rest of 10–20 minutes after 45–65 minutes of running, adjustable daily connection and follow-up quotas. Every message is written around the prospect’s own background — no mass messaging. Account behaviour matches normal human use, structurally avoiding bulk-action risk.
How is data stored and handled?
Customer profiles, conversation logs and follow-up progress all stay on the local machine and are never uploaded to a server. Only the text that needs processing is sent to the AI model service. The data can be viewed and exported at any time, and accumulates into the company’s own customer asset that does not disappear when tools or people change.
