A profile visit sends the prospect a "viewed your profile" notification — a light, non-intrusive way to get on someone's radar before you ask for anything.
Add a profile visit
In your campaign sequence, click Add Step.
Choose View LinkedIn Profile.
Set the delay.
Why it works
Profile visits are the lowest-friction action available. There's nothing to accept or decline, and many people check who viewed them. When your connection request arrives a day or two later, your name is already familiar — and that lifts acceptance rates.
Profile visits also make your account look like a real person browsing LinkedIn rather than an automation that only fires connection requests.
Where to place it
Before your connection request. The most effective pattern is:
View LinkedIn Profile
(wait 1-2 days)
Like LinkedIn Post
(wait 1 day)
Send LinkedIn Connection Request
Two touches before the ask, none of which require anything from the prospect.
Daily limits
Profile views have a higher ceiling than any other action — the default is 100 per day, and higher tiers support more:
Account type | Daily profile views |
Standard | 100 |
Premium | 200 |
Sales Navigator | 250 |
Recruiter | 300 |
Actions are spaced out automatically to look natural rather than firing in bursts.
Best practices
Make sure your own profile is worth visiting. The whole point is that they look at you — a clear headline, photo, and description of who you help is essential.
Don't visit the same person repeatedly. Once is a signal; repeatedly is unsettling.
Combine with post engagement for a stronger warm-up.
