First Degree finds your ideal buyers, starts real conversations from your own profile, and works them until a qualified prospect lands on your calendar. Every message is AI-personalized and approved by a human. Every interested prospect is captured and followed up in the Follow-Up Pathway System.
Acceptance and reply rates from our own First Degree campaigns. Results vary by industry, offer, and profile.
LinkedIn is where B2B buyers live, but turning it into consistent meetings takes time, skill, and discipline most owners don't have to spare.
Finding the right people, researching them, writing messages, and following up takes hours every day. That's time pulled from delivering for the clients you already have.
Cheap LinkedIn bots blast templated pitches. Buyers spot them instantly, ignore them, and remember who sent them. Your reputation is worth more than a few extra sends.
You prospect when things are slow and stop when you get busy. Two months later, the pipeline is dry again. Inconsistent outreach produces inconsistent revenue.
A prospect replies with interest, then nobody answers for three days. Warm conversations go cold fast, and LinkedIn's inbox isn't built to remind you.
Even interested prospects live only inside LinkedIn. No email, no phone, no follow-up system. If you lose access or forget to check, the opportunity is gone.
Hiring a sales development rep means salary, training, ramp time, and turnover risk, often $5,000+ a month before a single meeting is booked.
First Degree combines AI that researches every prospect with real people who approve every message and manage the conversation, plus a follow-up system that never forgets.
We handle targeting, messaging, follow-up, and conversation management. You show up to calls with prospects who already raised their hand.
Each message references the prospect's real profile, posts, and business. It reads like a thoughtful note from a peer, because it's built that way and checked by a person.
New connection requests and follow-ups go out every week, whether you're slammed with client work or on vacation. Consistency is the whole game.
Our team works your inbox so interested prospects get a timely, natural response and a clear next step instead of silence.
When a prospect books or shares their contact info, they're added to the Follow-Up Pathway System with reminders, nurture, and pipeline tracking. They're yours, not LinkedIn's.
Get a trained outreach team, AI personalization, and a follow-up system for less than the cost of a part-time hire, with no recruiting or ramp-up.
We set it up with you once. Then the system and our team run it every day.
We map your ideal customer profile: industries, company size, titles, and location, plus your offer and what makes you different.
Using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, we build and score prospect lists so outreach goes only to people who fit.
AI drafts each connection request and follow-up from the prospect's profile and activity. A trained approver reviews every message before it's sent from your profile.
Depending on your plan, our team responds to replies, answers early questions, and guides interested prospects toward a call.
Qualified prospects book on your calendar. The Follow-Up Pathway System confirms, reminds, and follows up so they show up ready.
Most LinkedIn tools stop at the reply. That's where the money gets lost. LinkedIn doesn't hand over a prospect's email or phone number, so interest stays stuck in an inbox.
First Degree is built to close that gap. Our team moves each warm conversation toward one of two outcomes: a booked call on your dedicated First Degree calendar, or contact info the prospect shares in the conversation.
The moment either happens, the Follow-Up Pathway System takes over: the contact is created and tagged, your team is notified, and confirmations, reminders, and nurture follow-up run automatically.
Every piece works together: smart targeting, real personalization, human judgment, and an automated follow-up system.
Every connection request and follow-up is written for one specific person, using their headline, about section, recent posts, and company. No templates and no "Hi {FirstName}" blasts.
Trained approvers check each message for accuracy, tone, and relevance before it sends. AI handles the speed. People protect your reputation.
Prospect lists are built on LinkedIn Sales Navigator's filters and scored for fit, so your outreach reaches decision-makers who can actually buy.
Follow-ups adapt to what the prospect does. Thoughtful nudges go to people who haven't replied, and sequences stop the moment a real conversation starts.
On managed plans, a real person works your replies, answers questions about your offer, and books qualified prospects. Interested buyers never get handed to a bot.
Prospects book through a calendar built for LinkedIn leads, with confirmations and reminders by text and email to cut no-shows.
Booked calls and shared contact info flow straight into the Follow-Up Pathway System with tags, pipeline stages, owner assignment, and team notifications.
Track connection requests, acceptance rate, replies, positive conversations, and booked meetings, so you always know what's working.

Requirement: First Degree runs on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, which you subscribe to directly with LinkedIn (about $100/month, with a free trial often available).
Add done-for-you LinkedIn appointment setting to your service menu without hiring a team or building the system. We provide the platform, the Follow-Up Pathway setup, and optional white-label setters.
Your brand. Your clients. Recurring revenue.
Yes. Outreach goes out from your own profile, so connections grow your network and reputation. That's a big reason acceptance and reply rates beat generic company outreach.
Yes. Sales Navigator powers the targeting and list building. You subscribe directly with LinkedIn, about $100/month, and LinkedIn often offers a free trial.
No. Every message is written for one specific person based on their profile and activity, and a trained human approves it before it sends. No mass blasts and no templates.
We keep sending volumes conservative and every message is human-reviewed, which keeps outreach well inside normal, professional activity. As with any outreach on LinkedIn, there's no absolute guarantee, so we focus on quality over volume.
LinkedIn doesn't share a prospect's email or phone number. When a prospect books a call through your First Degree calendar or shares their contact info in the conversation, they're added to the Follow-Up Pathway System automatically, tagged, assigned, and followed up.
Outreach typically starts within the first week or two after onboarding. Connections and conversations build over the first month, with meetings following as conversations mature.
No. All plans are month-to-month. We earn your business every month.
Yes. The Self-Managed plan puts approvals in your hands. On managed plans, you can still review the approval queue any time you like.
Book a strategy call. We'll look at your ideal client, your LinkedIn presence, and how many meetings First Degree could realistically put on your calendar.
