What your profile actually gets used for

Sector by sector: who is paying, what goes out under your name, and whose background fits. Understanding the demand side also explains why the rate is what it is.

Renting account access is inconsistent with LinkedIn's User Agreement, and an account can be restricted. Read sections 4 and 5 of our Terms before you apply.

The pattern is the same in every sector below: a company needs to reach a specific set of senior decision-makers, and a message from an unknown account is deleted unread. An established profile in the right industry changes that outcome, and that is what the monthly fee is for.

What follows is each of those sectors from your side of the arrangement rather than the buyer's — who is paying, what actually goes out under your name, and whose background is in demand. The same limits apply in all of them: nothing is sent until you have approved the target list and the templates, we never post or comment publicly as you, and your blocklist is enforced throughout.

🚀

B2B SaaS companies

Who is paying: software companies that need to reach VPs of Engineering, CTOs and Heads of Product — people who ignore anything from an unfamiliar account.

What runs from your profile: connection requests to a list of those titles that you have signed off, then a conversation in direct messages about a technical problem. A meeting that comes out of it is booked into the client's calendar, never yours.

Whose profile fits: engineering and product leadership, enterprise sales, technical founders.

🎓

Recruitment agencies

Who is paying: agencies whose strongest candidates do not apply to adverts and ignore recruiter messages by default.

What runs from your profile: approaches to senior people in the field you actually worked in, written to read as one practitioner talking to another. Replies are handled by a specialist inside direct messages — nothing is posted publicly under your name.

Whose profile fits: senior practitioners in engineering, finance, legal and healthcare.

📊

Consulting & advisory firms

Who is paying: consultancies selling advisory work, which is bought on credibility — junior outreach undermines the proposition before the first call.

What runs from your profile: a short, slow list of approaches to operations and transformation leaders. These target lists are narrow by nature, so this is low-volume work rather than a sector sweep.

Whose profile fits: ex-consultants, operations and transformation leaders, industry veterans.

🌱

Early-stage startups

Who is paying: startups with no sales team, for whom an in-house SDR is a full salary and months of ramp before anything comes out of it.

What runs from your profile: approaches to whoever the founder is selling to. These campaigns are often testing whether a market responds at all, so they can end at the agreed term rather than renew — your monthly fee is agreed for that term either way.

Whose profile fits: anyone senior in the startup's target vertical.

🏭

Manufacturing & industrial

Who is paying: industrial suppliers with small buyer pools and long sales cycles, where the set of relevant buyers worldwide is genuinely small.

What runs from your profile: the most precise targeting on this page — named companies rather than a job-title filter, at a deliberately slow pace. One credible sender is worth more here than volume.

Whose profile fits: plant, supply chain and procurement leadership.

📈

Agencies & professional services

Who is paying: marketing, design and professional-services firms with lumpy pipeline, competing in a crowded inbox.

What runs from your profile: approaches to marketing and brand leadership in sectors the agency already serves. This is the case where your blocklist matters most — your own employer and any competitor you name are excluded for the whole engagement, and you can add to that list at any time.

Whose profile fits: marketing leadership, brand and creative directors.

Whether your own profile can be placed into any of these is a separate question: who qualifies to rent out a LinkedIn account sets out what we look for and what moves the rate, and what a month of profile rental actually looks like walks through one from the inside.

What this means if you own the profile

Three things follow from the pattern above.

Your industry matters more than your connection count. A thousand connections concentrated in enterprise fintech is worth more than eight thousand spread across everything, because demand is specific.

The demand is durable. As automated outreach becomes cheaper and more common, the value of a genuinely established profile increases rather than decreases. Credibility is the one input that cannot be automated.

You are not the one writing any of it. The client brings the target list and the templates; you read both and approve them before a campaign starts, and your blocklist is enforced for the whole engagement. Who approves the messages sent from your LinkedIn goes through that step properly.

We explore the economics in more depth in Why B2B companies pay for access to your network, and safety and risk covers what we do with the account and what can go wrong with it.

The part the sector list does not cover

None of this is risk-free. Renting account access is inconsistent with LinkedIn's User Agreement: its Don'ts bar members from renting, leasing or otherwise monetising access to the service, and from letting another person use the account. LinkedIn may restrict, suspend or permanently close an account it believes is shared, without warning, and that risk stays with you rather than with us. Read how we work with that risk and section 5 of the Terms before you apply, not after.

What we never do

Regardless of the client or sector, the same boundaries apply to every engagement: no public posting or commenting, no changes to your profile, no contact with your existing network or your employer, and no promotion of gambling, crypto, adult, MLM or political content.

The full position, including compliance and the risks you take on, is set out in our Terms & Conditions.
