LinkedIn outreach to profile-matched prospects yields only 4% reply rate despite constant messaging optimization, because prospects lack active interest in the problem.

Existing tools focus on profile-based filters (title, company size) and message optimization, but lack signals of active buyer intent (e.g., recent posts, job changes, competitor engagement).
