Positive reply rate
The share of messages that get an interested response: not just any answer. The metric that actually correlates with pipeline, since 'no thanks' is also a reply.
Define which responses count as interested and apply that classification consistently. LinkedBoost's positive-reply analysis depends on canonical conversation tags and the returned funnel base. An untagged inbox can understate the metric; inspect coverage before concluding that nobody was interested.
In practice
Classify replies consistently, inspect tag coverage, and report both interested replies and the stated denominator.
What to check
LinkedBoost uses positively tagged accepted people over its enrollment-based funnel base. Untagged replies can make this read zero even when useful conversations exist.
