In this YouTube short, Joe Apfelbaum demonstrates a rapid LinkedIn outreach technique that leverages first-name filtering to target specific subsets of a large connection network. He shows how to locate all contacts named "Peter," apply an Evy AI-generated template (e.g., "Thanksgiving Blessing") to personalize each message, and send them in bulk. Joe explains his broader strategy for managing 30,000 connections with roughly 500 unique first names, recommending a month‑long rollout that spreads outreach across these name groups. He also warns about LinkedIn rate limits, noting that opening around 100 profiles simultaneously can trigger a 429 error, and advises a paced approach to ensure every connection is contacted at least once.
