Automate Linkedin Tool Review: ConnectDingo

What is ConnectDingo?

ConnectDingo is a desktop application that enables you to automate much of your Linkedin activity, including:

The software was created by business partners Mike Jones and Gloria Gunn in 2014 who (in their own words) ” could not find a software tool to do what we knew was needed to generate leads using a systematic social selling process.”

The company has offices in both the UK and the US.

How does ConnectDingo work?

ConnectDingo’s has a wide variety of Linkedin functions that are ordered against the company’s B.E.E.P. methodology:

• Build – automated actions include: Accepting connection requests, viewing profiles, adding connections, adding comments to people’s profiles, viewing profiles of Linkedin groups members
• Engage – automated actions include: Birthday messages, new job messages, work anniversary messages, endorsing connections, InMail drip messaging, Like posts
• Education – automated actions include: sharing RSS feeds, sharing an image, share Linkedin posts, share Youtube videos
• Promote – automates actions related to your 1st degree connections (for example, sharing a file with your 1st degree connections followed by drip messaging).

ConnectDingo uses virtualisation to simulate human activity (mouse movement, clicktracking, etc) and is best used in conjunction with a VPN.

Why should you use ConnectDingo?

ConnectDingo is like a big brother to Dux Soup – it is a lot more expensive (see below) but it is also significantly more capable at emulating many manual human activities that you would do on Linkedin such as automatically congratulating folks for new positions or birthdays, automatically doing an initial response, automatically accepting invites and so forth, as well as doing message campaigns on your existing contacts for example to do a promotion.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about is ConnectDingo that it does all of the above in the same manner as how a human would: typing responses one character at a time, moving the mouse, and so forth, so it seems less likely LinkedIn will ban you (the use of third-party Linkedin software violates the Linkedin user agreement). It is even clever enough to stop pre-programmed automated responses if you, for example, jump in and reply manually to a message ConnectDingo will recognise that it does not need to continue the follow-up message cadence.

In short, you should use ConnectDingo if you want to reduce the amount of manual effort and time you spend on LinkedIn.

How much does ConnectDingo cost?

ConnectDingo is $284/mth. If you add up to two Linkedin accounts then the cost goes down to $215/mth, for six accounts its $465/mth. Agencies can get their hands on ConnectDingo for $715/mth.

The price is more expensive than any of the other Linkedin tools that I have encountered, however ConnectDingo also has – by far – the widest suite of functions and capabilities that I’ve seen to-date.

About Win At LinkedIn Tool Reviews

I love exploring new LinkedIn tools so that I can keep up-to-date for when I’m coaching students (executives, entrepreneurs and salespeople that want to learn how to use Linkedin to find leads, nurture prospects and close deals).

LinkedIn has a rich and ever-growing ecosystem of inexpensive (and sometimes free!) tools which you can use to achieve your business aims on autopilot: building lists of leads, growing your network, publishing content, sending personalised messages from you, and so on.  That said, the use of third-party Linkedin software violates the Linkedin user agreement – you use these tools at your own risk.
