Introduction
LinkedIn is a valuable platform for outreach, sales, and networking. However, sudden spikes in activity—such as mass connection requests or messages—can trigger security restrictions, verification requests, or even permanent bans.
Sales-Mind AI automates your LinkedIn outreach while ensuring a safe, controlled increase in activity. This guide provides a structured warm-up process to protect your account and maximize outreach efficiency.
Who Should Follow This Guide?
✅ Novice Users: If you have less than 300 connections and have never used automation, this guide helps you warm up safely.
✅ Expert Users: If you manage multiple profiles (whether real or fake), this guide explains how to avoid detection and bans.
1. Account Security Best Practices
👤 1.1 Profile Integrity
✅ Do
❌ Don’t
Use a real-looking profile photo
Change profile picture, name, or surname frequently
Fill in all sections (Headline, Experience, Skills, About)
Leave profile sections incomplete
Add 3-5 work experiences
Use fake or generic job descriptions
List 5-10 relevant skills
Delete old profile versions frequently
🔹 Expert Tip: Before starting outreach, post 2-3 industry insights or engage with relevant content to make your profile look active.
🌐 1.2 Use Only Allocated Proxies & Anti-Detect Browsers
If you’re managing multiple LinkedIn profiles, using the correct browsing environment is essential.
✅ Use an anti-detect browser (e.g., Multilogin, GoLogin, or AdsPower) for multiple accounts.
✅ Each account should have a separate proxy (Sales-Mind AI provides secure proxies).
❌ Avoid using multiple LinkedIn profiles in Chrome’s profile manager.
Why Is Chrome’s Profile Manager Risky?
🚨 Even if you separate profiles, LinkedIn detects shared cookies and local storage, linking your accounts together.
✅ Anti-detect browsers create isolated browsing environments, preventing LinkedIn from linking your profiles.
🔹 Expert Tip: Never log in to multiple LinkedIn accounts from the same device without using an anti-detect browser.

“Hey, I’d love to connect and learn more about your work. Let’s chat!”

“Hi {FIRST_NAME}, I saw your post about {TOPIC} and found your insights valuable. I’d love to connect and discuss more about {SPECIFIC INTEREST}!”
✅ Use multiple message variations to prevent detection.
🔹 Expert Tip: Always use at least 3-5 message variations for outreach campaigns.
