How quickly should I follow up with LinkedIn leads?

Immediately. Research consistently shows that contacting leads within the first few minutes dramatically improves response rates compared to waiting several hours—or worse, days. Best practices include: - Automated CRM notifications - Instant confirmation emails - Sales outreach within 5-15 minutes - Personalized follow-up based on the asset the prospect downloaded The quality of your follow-up process often has a bigger impact on revenue than further campaign optimization.
