LinkedIn outreach for B2B SaaS companies
Software sells on LinkedIn when the message shows the buyer a problem they already recognise, on a day they have a reason to care. Re:Vault builds those days into a calendar of signals, writes one message per person and keeps the replies moving until a call is booked.

| Chief Operating Officer | 45,366 | Signs off on tools that touch several teams and listens to anything that removes a manual handover. |
| Chief Revenue Officer | 5,066 | Carries the number and asks one question of every pitch: does this create pipeline this quarter. |
| VP Sales | 30,456 | Feels the gap between target and coverage every Monday and answers fast when the message names a hiring gap. |
| Head of Revenue Operations | 365 | Owns the stack and the data, reads the technical detail, and often becomes the internal champion. |

How we run it
SaaS campaigns run as one signal plus one segment per batch, tagged, so the weekly review can say which reason to write produced the replies. A change goes in once a week and only after 30 sends and three replies on the slice.
The first twenty invitations from any new profile read low on our benchmarks page, 15.4% against 21.0% afterwards, so early weeks get judged on the profile's later cohort.

Questions
Which titles should B2B SaaS companies message on LinkedIn?add
The person whose number moves when the product works. For horizontal software that is usually the COO, CRO, VP Sales or head of revenue operations at companies of 51 to 1,000 people; the table above counts each title in five countries.
How many meetings can a SaaS company expect from LinkedIn outreach?add
It depends on price point and audience size, so we publish the rates behind it: accept rate and reply rate after the accept, each with its count, on the benchmarks page. Meetings are counted in the calendar and reported every Friday.
Does LinkedIn outreach replace an SDR hire for a SaaS company?add
It covers the prospecting half of the role from day one: sourcing, first touches, follow-ups and booking. The account executive takes the call. Teams can keep the system running after the SDR arrives and point each at a different segment.
