My goal is to generate insurance and retirement planning appointments on linkedin. And I am interested in positive feedback to help generate more leads.
I am using an AI automated tool called SBL.so for Linkedin outreach and my goal is to generate a lot more appointments with business owners and their employees for life and health insurance and retirement planning appointments. I can also offer business owners loans and funding. I have tried cold email and it did not work but I am getting a lot of replies with SBL.so and it booked an appointment. I have also tried cold calling but it really sucks. I would love to generate inbound leads but I am also open to generating sales appointments with outreach on Linkedin. Does anyone on here have specific advice about the best ways to generate high quality insurance and retirement planning appointments on Linkedin?

Hey, welcome to the group. Appreciate you sharing what you're going for. Sounds like SBL dot so (breaking the URL on purpose juuuuust to be safe) is already getting you replies and a booked appointment, which is the real win. Cold email and calling are rough in insurance, so it's smart to lean into what's working on LinkedIn. A couple things that tend to help here: Focus on the specific problems business owners actually have instead of leading with insurance or retirement plans. Things like outdated 401ks or missing key person coverage land better than a straight pitch. Also worth mixing in a bit of content. Even just a couple posts a week about common mistakes or situations you've seen can bring in warmer leads alongside the outreach. What's the messaging you're using in SBL right now? If you want to share an example, I can give more specific thoughts.
Please help me!
The number of connections is less than 100. I want to increase it quickly. But during it, the account is often restricted. So I want to increase without this problem. If there is a good way, thank you for letting me know.

Sorry to have missed this @Osman Malak. The best way to do this is to start commenting, with value, on key posts in the area that you're looking to get involved. Big creators, small creators, everything in between. Focus on commenting not sending out connection requests

@Osman Malak how often are you posting? and are you engaging with other people scontent at this point?

@Osman Malak I would recommend to focus on providing value, in comments and in posts, instead of blanket connection requests. Those will come more naturally if you're interacting on the topics that are important to you

My 30(ish)-Day LinkedIn Newsletter Experiment
Launched a LinkedIn newsletter right around the start of the year and treated the first month as an experiment, not a vanity play. Here’s what happened so far: - 3,168 impressions - 294 article views - 29 engagements - 304 subscribers What I’m optimizing for isn’t just views, it’s: - Building a consistent touchpoint with my ideal audience - Creating assets I can repurpose into posts, carousels, and DMs - Testing topics to see what actually earns clicks, not just likes Here’s the simple approach I’m taking right now: - One clear promise per issue (not a “magazine” of random tips) - Tactical, screenshot-level breakdowns, not theory - Strong CTAs back to conversation (DMs, comments, or replies) - Treating subscribers as a lab: using their questions to fuel future issues If you want to see the newsletter and steal what’s working, you can subscribe here: https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7417596452002045954 Now I want to turn this into a discussion for all of you: - Are you running a newsletter on LinkedIn (or elsewhere)? - What’s actually moving the needle for you: topic, cadence, CTAs, or distribution? - If you’re not running one yet, what’s the blocker? Drop your experiments, screenshots, or questions in the comments. Let’s build a mini “newsletter lab” inside this community and refine our systems together.

@Mohammad Irtaza Tafheem first, just start. For the deeper strategy, I try to focus on timely topics from the news to drive my weekly newsletter. It's a process but over time you become the go-to for the news. Not because you become the know-it-all oracle but the person plugged into the heartbeat of the news.
