Generating Lists

Whichever Dux-Soup plan you have chosen, your results will depend upon the quality of the lists you define to carry out your actions against. The more time and effort you put in here, the better your lists will be and the greater your chances of finding higher quality leads. Dux-Soup Pro, Turbo and Cloud all run against multiple lists in LinkedIn, Sales Nav and Recruiter. To help you master your audience and increase the focus of your LinkedIn lead generation have a read of the blog: Using LinkedIn lists with Dux-Soup to boost your lead generation.

There are many ways to create lists and the searching and filtering functions in LinkedIn is a powerful feature that can hugely enhance the effectiveness of your outreach. The blog How to Search and Filter with LinkedIn and Dux-Soup will help you to get grips with the options.

Strategy and Actions

Depending on the version of Dux-Soup you use, your strategy and actions will vary. Here’s how:

Pro

Dux-Soup can carry out a list of actions during an auto-visit. These actions usually contain a connection message, a direct message to 1st degree prospects, or an InMail. The ‘Visit’ or ‘Visit and Connect’ function is used for this activity.

Turbo

The Turbo version gives you the ability to build and manage your campaigns. An unlimited number of campaigns can be set up, each with up to 12 actions. This enables you to match your campaign content to your target group and enroll prospects.

Cloud

With Cloud you can build and manage your campaigns in the same way as Turbo. The enrollment happens locally but everything gets executed virtually

Monitoring

With Pro, monitoring outstanding invites and accepted connection requests is carried out manually.

Turbo and Cloud activity are monitored through the Dux-Dash. In the Funnel flow you can track your campaign statistics - including invitations sent, accepted connections, follow-ups you have sent, prospects that have responded to you and qualified leads by clicking on one of the columns. You can also choose the campaign you wish to track and the timeframe.

Integrations

The Dux-Soup API creates a 2-way communication between your existing CRM/marketing integration tool and there’s a raft of Integration options including Hubspot, Pipedrive and Sharpspring. These direct CRM connections are visible and configurable via the Dux-Dash. 

Make.com and Zapier.com integrations are also available. ‍

Functionality

Let’s work our way through the three Dux-Soup editions from a functionality point of view. This blog showcases an expert user interface that you can easily enable in the Options menu, under the User tab.

We’ll begin with the most basic edition…

Pro Edition Highlights

  • Dux-Soup Pro works on regular LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter
  • It allows you to auto-visit, invite and message prospects
  • There is unlimited manual and auto-tagging
  • You can download data 
  • You can control how much Dux-Soup does and when
  • Everything is done in ‘real time’ and runs while the Chrome tab is open (Dux-Soup will snooze if the tab is minimized).

Here’s a look at all the things Pro can do for you when auto-visiting profiles:

By using the throttling settings, you’re in control of the speed the Dux works at, as well as the number of connection requests, visits and direct messages it sends each day.

Note: LinkedIn does have limits on activities so it’s important to be aware of what they will allow you to do on their platform. To find out more read our blog Using LinkedIn automation safely.

You also have complete control over the hours the automation Dux works. As long as your Chrome browser remains open, Dux-Soup will continue to run, giving you some precious time back for the activities on your list that can’t be automated - such as closing deals! 

If Pro is the version for you, the blog It’s easy to get started with Dux-Soup Pro provides a step-by-step guide on how to get set up and use Dux-Soup Pro.
