Cadence
The rhythm of an outreach sequence: how many touches, over how many days, on which channels. Cold LinkedIn cadences typically run 3–5 touches across two weeks.
Cadence design is trade-off management: too dense reads as harassment and burns the list; too sparse loses the thread of memory between touches. The 2026 adjustment is asymmetry — front-load research quality instead of touch count. Three researched touches outperform seven templated ones on both replies and account safety, because every low-quality touch also feeds the platform's behavioral score.
LinkedBoost is the LinkedIn MCP for Claude — agent-run outreach with enforced limits and a human trigger on every send. See how it works →
