ICP fit scoring
Reads each profile, posts, and activity, then produces a 0–100 score and written explanation of the ICP signals behind it.
NudgeLink
NudgeLink is an AI sales development tool that scores LinkedIn profiles against a defined ICP and drafts personalized outreach based on profile activity. It helps founders, agencies, and sales teams review and run LinkedIn campaigns with approval controls, multi-account sending, and reply handling.
AI-assisted LinkedIn outreach with lead scoring
NudgeLink is an AI sales development tool for LinkedIn outreach. It builds an ICP profile from an AI-guided onboarding, evaluates LinkedIn leads against that profile, and writes personalized cold messages using information from each person’s profile, posts, and activity.
The workflow is designed around review rather than unattended automation: leads receive a fit score and rationale, message drafts remain in a queue until approved, and approved sequences can include LinkedIn invites, follow-ups, and an email step when an address is available. NudgeLink also includes reply classification and alerts so users can work responses from its inbox.
Core features
Profile-based message writing
Creates a fresh opener from a specific profile detail, such as a post, role change, or shipped product, instead of relying on templates.
Approval workflow
Keeps drafts and the evidence behind them in a review queue so users can approve outreach before it is sent. Auto-send can be enabled later as an opt-in.
LinkedIn sending controls
Runs a warm-up ramp, human timing, and account-safety auto-pause, with sending limits that increase during the first four weeks and pause on a captcha or warning.
Multi-account rotation
Routes outreach across multiple connected LinkedIn seats, with separate warm-up ramps, time zones, and daily ceilings for each account.
Reply handling and email fallback
Classifies replies in the product inbox and provides instant email alerts. If a profile exposes an email address, the sequence can include an email fallback.
Practical use cases
Founder-led prospecting
A founder can describe the company and ideal client, paste individual LinkedIn URLs, review the fit rationale, and approve tailored outreach without building a manual research-and-copywriting process.
Multi-seat team outreach
A sales team can connect more than one LinkedIn seat and distribute activity across account-specific ramps, time zones, and daily limits while keeping drafts and replies in one workspace.
Focused ICP campaigns
An agency or team targeting a narrow market can use the fit threshold to exclude weak matches and inspect why each qualified lead passed before spending outreach credits.
Web-assisted lead discovery
Teams that know the job titles, industry, and location they want can use Scout on the Scale plan to search public web sources, verify candidates against LinkedIn profiles, and review unresolved or ambiguous matches before they become campaign-ready.

FAQ
How do I set up NudgeLink?
Describe what the business sells, who it serves, its ideal client, and a message that has worked. NudgeLink uses this short AI-guided onboarding to generate an ICP profile. You can then paste LinkedIn URLs or use Scout web discovery on the Scale plan to find potential leads.
How does NudgeLink evaluate leads?
For each lead, NudgeLink reads the LinkedIn profile, posts, and activity, then assigns a 0–100 fit score with a written rationale. Only leads above the campaign threshold are worked; the default threshold is 60 and can be changed.
Do messages send automatically?
Drafts wait in a review queue with the profile evidence used to write them. After you approve a draft, NudgeLink can send the invite and follow-ups from a connected LinkedIn account, with an optional email step when an address is exposed. Auto-send is opt-in rather than the default.
How does billing work?
Each plan has a monthly credit allowance. Scoring, invites, follow-ups, and email steps use credits; about 32 credits covers one fully worked lead end to end. When the allowance is used, outreach pauses until the next billing cycle, with no overage or per-reply fee.
Does NudgeLink integrate with a CRM?
NudgeLink does not currently offer a CRM integration. Replies are handled in the NudgeLink inbox with instant email notifications, while a HubSpot integration is in development; Salesforce and Pipedrive are planned to follow.
