I’ve noticed the same trend with LinkedIn outreach lately. The landscape has really shifted, and prospects have definitely gotten more selective about what they respond to. What helped me a bit is changing up my approach, less templated stuff and more genuine engagement. I started focusing more on commenting thoughtfully on target prospects’ posts before reaching out, so when my message lands it’s not totally cold. Video messages and audio snippets also stand out way more compared to plain text, even if you keep the message super short and relevant.
Another thing that made a difference was experimenting outside of LinkedIn itself. Sometimes Twitter or even email follow ups after a LinkedIn connection worked better for breaking through the noise. It definitely seems like the usual “personalized” messages just aren’t cutting it anymore when everyone’s inbox is flooded.
On another note, I’m actually working on something in this space, a platform for deploying AI powered sales agents that handle hyper personalized outreach based on real time data, not just static templates. If you’re open to trying out early tools that use more advanced personalization at scale, check out the waiting list at [https://salespire.io/](https://salespire.io/) . Would love feedback from people who really know the pain points here.
