The week I tried automating outreach and it backfired hard
Sent 500 personalized LinkedIn DMs in one day using a tool that was supposed to be smart, but got my whole team flagged as spammers because the system mixed up company names in half the messages, and now I'm wondering if anyone else has recovered reputation after a botched automation run?

Evannelson's right that trusting automation too much was the mistake, but the real issue is nobody talks about how LinkedIn's algorithm punishes the WHOLE team instead of just the account that messed up. That's the part that hurts most - you lose trust from your team, not just from leads. If you want to recover, you've got to accept that "personal" in personalized doesn't mean more messages, it means fewer, better ones.
