The work an agent does end to end on LinkedIn, the work a person keeps, and one week of one sending profile with the volume and the rates measured on our own engine. Figures recomputed 30 August 2026.
An SDR seat is one job title covering nine separate jobs. An agent takes seven of them and hands two back.
| Job | Who does it | What it looks like in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Pick the signal for the week | Operator | A hiring page, a funding filing, a launch, a post where someone names the problem out loud |
| Source the list against that signal | Agent | Search, filter, deduplicate against everyone already touched |
| Check one fact per person | Agent | A specific posting, a specific post, a specific product change, with its source stored |
| Drop the people with no fact | Agent | On some signals a third of a sourced list is dropped here |
| Write the first touch | Agent | Under 400 characters, the product named in the first line |
| Pace the sending | Agent | Spread across the working window, at most one cold touch per profile per minute |
| Handle the replies | Agent, with an operator gate | Slots, links, factual questions answered directly; price and judgment go to a person |
| Book the call | Agent | Into the calendar the client already uses |
| Read the week and change one thing | Operator | One change per week, on at least 30 sends and 3 replies |
In the week of 24 August 2026 our 14 active profiles sent 458 invitations, an average of 32.7 per profile. The busiest single profile in a single calendar week has sent 80. Across the engine's life, 27 July to 28 August 2026, the total is 1,562 invitations, 576 direct messages, 71 InMails and 316 post likes.
Two measured rates turn that volume into conversations. The accept rate is 21.5%, from 158 accepts on 734 invitations sent 10 to 23 August with at least seven days each to be answered. The reply rate after a first direct message is 20.3%, from 38 replies among 187 people. Both definitions and both counts sit on the benchmarks page.
The three lines below are arithmetic on the two measured rates, applied to one profile at the fleet average. They are a planning shape, and the rates that feed them are the ones published above.
The chain stops there on purpose. Turning replies into booked calls is decided by the two messages after the first reply, and our own sample of that step is still small enough that publishing a rate for it would be a guess wearing a decimal point. Use your own reply-to-call ratio for the last step; most teams already know theirs.
The engine is linear in profiles. Two warmed senders produce roughly twice the invitations of one. Turning the volume knob up on a single account moves the refusal rate, which is what the limits page measures. Which signal earns the volume is its own question, worked through with denominators in the piece on buying signals.
So the growth levers, in the order they pay: a better signal, a second warmed profile, a better first line. The volume knob comes last and it has a ceiling written by the platform.
| Level | Price | What runs |
|---|---|---|
| MCP access | From $199 a month | You connect your own assistant to the stack and run the sourcing and the queue yourself. $199 for one LinkedIn account, $100 more for each account after that, up to four |
| The operated worker | $2,000 a month | The agent runs the whole cycle on one sender, the operator sets it up and watches it daily |
| Team on top | $5,000 a month | A team works the account daily, more channels, more volume, a named manager |
| Fractional CRO | $10,000 a month | All of the above plus Dmitry personally on your calls and deal reviews |
Every level is month to month with no setup fee, and everything built stays with you. The comparison against a hired seat, line by line, is on the SDR cost page.
It fits when your buyers are reachable on LinkedIn, you have a reason to write to them this week, and you want the sending, the replies and the weekly read handled. Put the monthly price against a loaded seat at $9,000 to $12,000 and the arithmetic answers itself.
Sources a list against a live signal, checks one fact per person, writes and paces the first touch, runs the follow-ups, answers replies inside safe classes, books the call, and reports the week. A person picks the signal and makes the judgment calls.
The operated worker is $2,000 a month, about $460 a week, with infrastructure, accounts, sourcing, copy, replies and reporting included. At our measured rates one profile at fleet average returns roughly 1.4 replies a week, so about $330 per reply.
Our fleet averaged 32.7 invitations per profile in the week of 24 August 2026, plus follow-up messages to people who connected. The busiest single profile has sent 80 in a week. The platform allowance and our own rolling ceiling both sit above that.
The agent answers slots, links and factual questions the same day. Price, negotiation, anything ambiguous and anything about your product roadmap goes to a person first, as a draft, and the person sends it.
Weeks one and two go to the profile, infrastructure and warm-up. Sending starts week three, and first replies usually land in week three or four. The week by week shape is on the how it works page.
