Make use of Sales Navigator account and automatically send InMails to your potential leads using TexAu

Are you facing the use of InMail credits? 70% of the Sales Navigator users don't use the Sales Navigator InMails feature to send InMail to their targeted potential leads. InMails can be sent to any user on LinkedIn, even if you're not connected. This makes it a really useful feature. To make this work easier, TexAu has built automation to send InMails automatically.

Make a list of all the high-profile targeted leads you want to reach out to, upload a full CSV or Google Sheet file on TexAu, set up a schedule, and rest. TexAu will take care of this and make sure you're using all your allowed credits to reach out to all those high-profile leads.
