A good response rate on LinkedIn depends on a number of factors – primarily the context of your message. For example, LinkedIn recruiters must maintain a response rate of at least 13% by rule to avoid penalisation. The InMail system, as a whole, has an average response rate of between 18 and 25%.
Taking your outreach results beyond this figure can seem like a tricky undertaking. However, there are a number of tips and tricks designed to optimise every element of your strategy and boost your open rates. These include sticking to sending messages on weekdays (particularly Tuesdays), keeping messages short and sweet, and including only one CTA or goal action.
In addition, sending personalised messages to effectively segmented audiences can assist greatly in achieving a better response rate. LinkedIn lead generation specialists can assist in making this progress a breeze, taking care of profile viewing, connection-making, message personalisation, sending, and more, working to ensure your messages reach those most likely to open and respond to them.
