Lead sources. Five places, warm ones first.Where SDR Pilot Finds Your Leads.
SDR Pilot (sdrpilot.ai) is an AI SDR from $97 a month that runs on your own LinkedIn account and can be driven by your own AI agent. It pulls people from five places on LinkedIn: incoming connection requests, profile viewers, people who engage with your posts, posts in your niche and people search on your ICP.
- Unlimited leads on every plan
- Every profile read first
- Priority order you control
Warm sources first, not one cold list
Most LinkedIn tools have one source: a search result or a CSV you uploaded. That is the coldest list available, and it is the same list everybody else is working. SDR Pilot treats the warm sources first, because a person who just viewed your profile or commented on a post in your niche is a different conversation from a stranger a filter produced.
The sources run in a priority order, which decides who gets the day's 20 requests when there are more candidates than budget.
The order is yours to change.
Every source except incoming requests can be switched off.
Each one can carry its own pass mark, so a profile viewer can qualify at a lower score than a cold search result.
1. Incoming connection requests
People who asked to connect with you.
They are already interested enough to press the button, and most LinkedIn accounts have a backlog of them nobody ever reads. SDR Pilot opens each one's profile, scores it, accepts the ones that fit and opens the conversation. This is the highest priority source by default, and it costs none of your 20 daily invitations, because they invited you.
2. Profile viewers
People who looked at your profile and did nothing.
Someone who read you and moved on has a reason for it, and a message that references what they were probably looking for often gets an answer. Profile viewers qualify at a lower default pass mark than a cold source, because the intent is already in the act of looking.
3. People who engage with your posts
Every like, comment and reaction on your own posts becomes a lead candidate.
The writing you were already doing becomes a pipeline
They chose to engage in public with something you said, which is about as warm as LinkedIn gets. SDR Pilot tracks your posts, reads the engagers, scores them and starts conversations with the ones who fit. If you post, this source compounds, and the writing turns into a pipeline instead of a vanity metric.
Reactions and comments read
4. Posts in your niche
Not your posts. Other people's.
SDR Pilot watches posts on the subjects your buyers care about and reads the people engaging with them. Someone arguing in the comments of a post about the exact problem you solve has told you what they are thinking about this week, and no filter in a search tool can produce that signal.
5. People search on your ICP
The classic source, done carefully.
Searches are paced across the month
SDR Pilot searches on the titles, industries, company sizes and countries in your ICP. Searches are capped at 30 a day and 300 a month per sender, which is not politeness: a free LinkedIn account has a monthly commercial use search allowance, and burning it would stop search working for you personally in your own browser. They are paced across the month rather than spent in the first ten days.

Your own connections, imported for research
Not a sixth lead source. The people already connected to you, brought in so the agent knows them.
Your first degree connections are imported and researched so they are scored and searchable alongside everything else. This is research only: it is not one of the five lead sources, it never sends a connection request, because you are already connected, and it is not in the priority order you set. The import is paced at about a tenth of the daily read budget so it can never compete with a lead the agent is about to message.
What happens to a lead after it is found
The same thing, whatever the source.
- 1
Read
The profile is opened and read in full.
- 2
Score
It is scored against your ICP.
- 3
Decide
It is either queued for a connection request, or disqualified with a reason you can read.
Leads themselves are unlimited on every plan. What is limited is what the sender does on LinkedIn in a day, and these are the defaults.
- 250
- Profile reads
- 20
- Connection requests
- 100
- Messages
- 30
- Searches
The word for reading a profile on this site is reading, not scraping. It is the same thing you do when you click somebody's name, done once per person, inside your active hours, from your own session, at a capped rate.
FAQQuestions people ask
Can SDR Pilot turn post engagers into leads?
Yes. It tracks your own posts, reads everyone who likes or comments, scores them against your ICP and starts conversations with the ones who fit. It does the same with posts in your niche that you did not write.
Does SDR Pilot do outreach to profile viewers?
Yes. People who viewed your profile are one of the five sources and one of the warmest. They qualify at a lower default pass mark than a cold search result, because the intent is already in the act of looking.
Do I need Sales Navigator?
No. SDR Pilot searches with the LinkedIn account you connect and does not integrate with Sales Navigator. Its 300 searches a month budget exists precisely to protect a free account's monthly commercial use allowance.
Can I upload my own list of leads?
The five sources are what the product works from today. Your own connections are imported and researched alongside them, but that is research rather than a source, and a cold CSV is not a lead source SDR Pilot builds around, because it has no engagement signal attached to it.
Can I turn a lead source off?
Yes, except incoming connection requests, which stay on because those people asked to connect with you. The order they run in is a setting too, and it matters because it decides who gets the day's 20 connection requests when the candidates outnumber the budget.
