"Game changer - Efficient outreach automation on LinkedIn"
What do you like best about Closely?

The effieincy and ease to automate outreach campaigns on LinkedIn is a key advantage. With few steps, anyone is able to set an effective automation campaign and target different demographics efficiently. Don't need to be tech-savvy, Closely allow us to set all in motion, and get better results than mailing campaigns alone since it relies on actual data. Aditionally, the proxy assignation is excellent since it helps to avoid Linkedin limitations and account banning.

What do you dislike about Closely?

The app needs more features, but they are continuously adding features and developing the platform, so it's just a matter of time. However, I would like to see more granular options to personalize campaigns. Aisde from that, its a reliable solution for anyone.

What problems is Closely solving and how is that benefiting you?

It help me to expand my network on Linkedin efficiently, reach out to more relevant markets and to scale results due to automation and personalization features on the platform.

"The Safe Way to Scale Immature Linkedin Accounts"
What do you like best about Closely?

I like Closely because it is a powerful- but safe- LinkedIn automation tool that helps me to find, engage, and convert leads more effectively. Here are some of the things I like most about Closely: Ease of use: Closely is very easy to use, even for beginners (like me). The interface is clean and intuitive, and the onboarding process is well-designed. Wide range of features: Closely offers a wide range of features to help you with lead generation and outreach, including: LinkedIn campaigns: Create automated LinkedIn campaigns to reach out to your target audience. Lead finder: Find prospects who are a good fit for your business (I've never used this but I'm glad it's an option) Inbox: A unified inbox for managing all of your LinkedIn messages. Email automation: Send automated email campaigns to your leads (I use Instantly, but am pleased email is a part of the package) Excellent customer support: Closely has excellent customer support. I have always received quick and helpful responses to my questions.

What do you dislike about Closely?

It is a little basic compared to Expandi and Smartlead. The sequences and templates available are not as developed.

What problems is Closely solving and how is that benefiting you?

Closely helps me warmup and scale new Linkedin accounts without too much risk of being banned by Linkedin. Closely automates many of the time-consuming manual tasks involved in lead generation, such as finding prospects, sending messages, and tracking results. This frees up my employees to focus on more high-value activities, such as lead nurturing.

"Closely is the LinkedIn Holy Grail"
What do you like best about Closely?

I like that it puts my LinkedIn growth on autopilot without going crazy and getting me banned. I like the static IP and the way that they start off by warming up your account before going full speed with connections. I LOVE the team-Alex and Maria are fantastic-and I really appreciate all of the LinkedIn content on their blog and their Youtube channel. I have learned a lot of what you can and can't do on LinkedIn from them.

What do you dislike about Closely?

I don't really have much in the way of dislikes. I signed up knowing it was a good product with a great team. And since I had already chatted with the team I knew the roadmap and their plans for it. I bought into a great product and it is only getting better.

What problems is Closely solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using Closely to safely grow my LinkedIn without spending 3 hours a day in it. I set up some searches and campaigns and it automatically goes out to them and sends my first message. If they respond I then take over to actually chat with them. Some people are anti-automation but then they go and have their secretary or VA do all their LinkedIn. Doesn't make much sense right? Instead, I can far more cost-effectively grow my LinkedIn network by first doing the grunt work with Closely and then stepping in to do the actual personal work. If you want to run your LinkedIn in an efficient manner then get Closely. Also getting Closely for family members this year, it just makes sense to help them grow their networks.

What do you dislike about Closely?

Closely is a young tool, so it currently lacks some features, such as the ability to remove connection requests.

What problems is Closely solving and how is that benefiting you?

Closely saves me time doing outreach on LinkedIn.

"Stable system"
What do you like best about Closely?

The most positive: The tool has not had any crashes or problems so far. Will update here if this will change.

What do you dislike about Closely?

The software made by Closely is only designed for LinkedIn, so you won't be able to use it for any other social media platforms. That's a bit of a downside, but if LinkedIn is your primary focus, then Closely can be a helpful tool.

What problems is Closely solving and how is that benefiting you?

The software made by Closely is a helpful tool if LinkedIn is your primary focus. However, you won't be able to use it for any other social media platforms.

"Epic networking tool"
What do you like best about Closely?

The set up was easy and the results come soon. I've personally gained 172 Linkedin connections over 1 month and 10 days of using Closely. I've been using it for personal networking but it would also work well for B2B businesses networking over Linkedin.

What do you dislike about Closely?

Sometimes the icon that lingers on your screen when you're using Linkedin can be distracting, especially when you're studying a course and it's there while the video is playing.

What problems is Closely solving and how is that benefiting you?

I just moved to a new country so I desperately needed to create a network of fellow copywriters in my region. I used Closely to send connection requests to people using their location and job title. I've gained many connections and some of them have even reached out to me about giving me freelance work.
