Why LinkedIn

LinkedIn is where enterprise work happens.

Every buyer. Every senior hire. Every founder. They're all there. The ones who win on LinkedIn don't blast cold DMs — they show up first.

The audience is already there

1.1 billion professionals.

Every B2B decision-maker. Every senior engineer. Every CTO, VP of Sales, Head of People. You don't drag them anywhere — they're already scrolling.

Cold doesn't work anymore

1–3% reply on cold DMs.

InMail: 2–3%. The platform shows a friend-of-friend's post 5× more than a stranger's pitch. Attention has moved. Most outreach hasn't caught up.

Warm replies. Reliably.

30–60% after 3 touches.

Three thoughtful comments on someone's post lifts their reply rate to 30–60%. Not because of a trick — because they recognize you when you DM. Showing up before you ask is the only repeatable way to start a conversation with a senior buyer or candidate in 2026.

Where you place your attention on LinkedIn is where your pipeline grows. WarmList places it for you.

Built for both

Same playbook. Two audiences.

Sales reps and tech recruiters both win replies on LinkedIn the same way: by being recognized — not by blasting cold DMs. WarmList runs the warming layer for both.

For sales reps

Be in front of your most important buyers.

You sell mid-market or enterprise. Your buyers are on LinkedIn — but they're scrolling, not reading cold pitches. Comment thoughtfully on their posts for two weeks. Earn the recognition. Then DM. Reply rates jump from 1–3% to 8–15%.

  • Pool from your target accounts + LinkedIn search
  • Comment on prospect posts before pitching
  • DM unlocks at 3 touches → "saw your comment last week" opener
  • Stays under LinkedIn's safe-send caps automatically
For tech recruiters

Be in front of your most important candidates.

You hire engineers, PMs, designers. Cold InMail in 2026 runs 2–3% reply. Three thoughtful comments on a candidate's posts before the DM lifts that to 8–15%. WarmList ranks 5 candidates each morning by stage + intent signals, drafts comments in your voice.

  • Pool from Hiretual / SeekOut / Gem CSV + your LinkedIn connections
  • Intent signals: Open-to-Work, layoff, promotion, recent post
  • DM unlocks at 3 touches → "loved your write-up on..." opener
  • Same browser-based safety — 8% restriction rate vs 31% for cloud tools
How it works

Three stages, top to bottom

Stay visible, warm the people you want, then turn them into connections you can DM.

The daily habit

Your 5 minutes each morning

Setup · 60 seconds

Scan your own LinkedIn — no typing

On first run, click "Open my LinkedIn and scan." The extension reads your headline, role, and recent posts in your own browser session. WarmList pre-fills your target accounts (sales) or hiring criteria (recruiting), and pulls 3 of your real comments to teach the AI your voice. Edit anything. You're live.

Step 1 · ongoing

Build your pool from LinkedIn

While you browse LinkedIn, "+ Add to WarmList" pills appear on profiles and search results. One click adds prospects or candidates. Or bulk-import via LinkedIn's Connections.csv, Hiretual, SeekOut, Apollo, or any spreadsheet — we auto-detect headers and clean messy ones with an LLM fallback.

Step 2 · 30 seconds

Open your queue each morning

WarmList ranks 3-5 prospects or candidates overnight using stage progression, intent signals (Open-to-Work, layoff, promotion, recent post), recency, and your target criteria (accounts, role, seniority). A morning email digest lands at 8 AM with one-click links into the queue.

Step 3 · 30 seconds each

Pick a draft, paste, post

A new tab opens on their post. WarmList drops 3 comments in your voice — Question, Value-add, Congratulations. Click 📋 Copy → paste into LinkedIn's comment box → edit naturally → post. Come back, click "Mark as posted." Touchpoint logged.

Step 4 · after 3 touches

DMs unlock — and they reply

Each comment moves them Cold → Touched 1× → Touched 2× → Warm → Engaged. At Warm, the DM panel unlocks with a draft that references your actual comment history and their recent posts. They reply because they've seen your name three times engaging with their work — not because you guessed at a cold opener.

The Math

3-5× the reply rate of cold outreach

Cold sales DMs and cold recruiting InMails both land at 1-3% reply in 2026 — full inboxes, AI noise, banner blindness. Run the same DM after 3 contextual comments and it lifts to 8-15%. Same effort, different result: they recognize your name when the message hits.

How We Compare

A different kind of LinkedIn tool

Sourcing tools find candidates. Sales-DM tools blast cold messages. Personal-brand tools write your posts. LinkedIn's own paid SKUs cost $10K+/yr. None of them does the warming layer in between — for either audience.

Why this exists

The 5-minute problem

Every sales rep and every recruiter we talk to says the same thing: "I know commenting on prospect / candidate posts before DMing them works. I just don't have time." Manual warming on 30 people takes 90 minutes a day — nobody has 90 minutes.

So the problem becomes the math. The workflow that lifts reply rates 3-5× is the workflow nobody runs. Sellers fall back to cold-DM blasts; recruiters fall back to cold InMail. Both watch reply rates collapse below 3%. The good engagement is left on the table.

WarmList compresses 90 minutes into 5. Filtering your network for the right targets, drafting in your voice, tracking touchpoints, knowing when someone's warm — all of it runs in the background. You open the dashboard, review the morning queue, post in 5 minutes.

Your network compounds. Every comment is a touchpoint. After 30 days, 50+ warm contacts. After 90 days, 150+. Your DMs go out to people who already recognize your name — whether you're closing a deal or filling a req.
