Okay, so we built something wild to scale LinkedIn outreach, and I wanted to tell you about it before everyone else catches on. We’re calling it Fractional SDR Profiles and honestly, I think this changes everything about how you think about LinkedIn automation and outreach scaling.
Let me back up for a second.
If you’ve ever tried to scale LinkedIn outreach, you know the pain. One account. 100 connection requests per week max. Maybe 800 if you’re lucky with a premium account per month. That’s nothing. Especially when you’re trying to book real pipeline.
So what do people do? They buy fake accounts. They rent sketchy profiles from random marketplaces. They get banned. They start over. Rinse and repeat.
We thought… there has to be a better way. And there is.
What Are Fractional SDR Profiles Exactly?
Here’s the concept we coined at SBL. Fractional SDR profiles are real LinkedIn accounts owned by real humans who have agreed to work with you on your outreach campaigns. Not bots, not purchased accounts, and not some shady rental situation that violates LinkedIn TOS.
These are actual people, SDRs who work part-time, who connect their genuine LinkedIn profiles to your campaigns. They become your affiliates and your extended sales team. Your way to multiply reach without multiplying headcount.
Think about it like this. You don’t need to hire 10 full-time SDRs to get the outreach volume of 10 SDRs. You just need 10 profiles connected to your system, sending messages that sound like you, guided by AI that knows your product.
That’s what fractional SDR profiles unlock.
How Does SBL’s Fractional SDR Network Actually Work to Scale LinkedIn Outreach?
So you’re probably thinking… okay cool concept, but how do I actually get these profiles?
Here’s where it gets interesting. We’ve built an entire network of verified SDRs who are ready to work with you with their LinkedIn presence for your campaigns. When you request fractional SDR profiles through SBL, we can get them connected to your workspace in under 48 hours.
These SDRs have real connections, real activity history, real profiles that LinkedIn trusts. They’re not fresh accounts that get flagged immediately. They’re established professionals who want to help you reach more prospects working as an affiliate.
You pay them a basic monthly fee as low as $35/month per profile. They connect their account, your campaigns run through their profile, and the AI handles the actual conversations.
If you want them to also post about your brand on LinkedIn? That’s an additional $100/month. But that’s optional.
The Math on Scaling LinkedIn Outreach With Fractional SDRs
Let me show you why this matters with some simple math.
1 LinkedIn account = ~800 outreach per month (premium)
5 LinkedIn accounts = ~4,000 outreach per month
10 LinkedIn accounts = ~8,000 outreach per month
25 LinkedIn accounts = ~20,000 outreach per month
50 LinkedIn accounts = ~40,000 outreach per month
40,000 LinkedIn outreach messages per month. That’s email-level scalability on LinkedIn without getting banned.
Most people think scaling LinkedIn to email level is impossible. They’re wrong. You just need the right infrastructure.
And the cost? Starting $35/month per fractional SDR profile, 50 profiles costs you $1,750/month. Compare that to hiring even ONE full-time SDR at $4,000-$6,000/month salary plus benefits plus training plus management overhead. The math isn’t even close.
Is Using Fractional SDR Profiles LinkedIn Compliant?
This is the question everyone asks first. And honestly, I get it. LinkedIn has cracked down HARD on automation tools, fake accounts, and anything that smells like manipulation.
Here’s why fractional SDR profiles are different and 100% compliant.
First, these are real humans with real accounts. LinkedIn’s TOS doesn’t prohibit someone from sending messages on behalf of a company or client. Sales teams do this literally every day. That’s the entire point of SDRs.
Second, we’re not exceeding LinkedIn’s limits. Each profile stays within the 800 connection requests per month for premium accounts, 400 for non-premium. We’re not gaming the system. We’re just using MORE profiles, each operating within their own limits.
Third, our system includes account rotation and smart delays. When one profile approaches its daily limit, the next one takes over. Everything is designed to mimic natural human behavior because it is natural human behavior, and we just scaled it all.
Compare this to platforms that get you Rented LinkedIn Profiles. That gets flagged by linkedin all the time. That’s how you get your LinkedIn account restricted and so we have taken the opposite approach to comply 100% with LinkedIn ToS
Why Fractional SDR Profiles Beat Traditional Hiring or Renting LinkedIn Accounts
Fractional SDR profiles just make more sense. Here’s why:
- LinkedIn does not allows Renting Accounts: If you’re caught with it, LinkedIn Will ban you anytime.
- No hiring headaches for SDRs for Outreach. You don’t need to unnecessarily hire people, or use your teammates profile, or ask from anyone to get their profile for your outreach. You request SDRs via SBL and they’re connected in 48 hours – with an interest to work with you and even post about your brand on their social.
- No management overhead. You’re not tracking their activity, doing 1:1s, dealing with underperformers. The system manages itself.
- Instant scale up or down. Need more volume this quarter? Just request more Fractional SDR Profiles. Slow season? Just request to reduce them.
How Fast Can You Actually Get Fractional SDR Profiles?
I mentioned 48 hours earlier and I want to be specific about this because it matters.
When you submit a request for fractional SDR profiles through SBL, our system matches you with SDRs from our network who fit your industry and target audience. We verify their profiles are in good standing, connect them to your workspace, and you’re ready to launch campaigns, scaling your LinkedIn outreach.
We do it in 48 hours or less, Usually faster. Compare this to posting a job for an SDR or renting a LinkedIn Profile that’s usually fake or are bots.
What Happens When Leads Reply? The AI Chat Piece to handle the Outreach Scale
So here’s where fractional SDR profiles become even more powerful when combined with SBL’s AI chat automation.
Traditional outreach tools send messages and then you’re on your own. Someone replies and now you need a human to respond. That’s fine if you have 1 account with 50 conversations. But with 50 accounts generating thousands of conversations?
That’s where AI SDR technology comes in.
Our system doesn’t just send the initial outreach. It handles the actual back-and-forth conversation. It knows how to answer questions, handle objections, qualify leads, and push toward your goal, whether that’s booking a call, getting a response, or qualifying interest.
The fractional SDR profiles provide the reach. The AI provides the conversation capacity. Together they give you something that didn’t exist before: truly scalable LinkedIn outreach that actually converts.
And if the AI hits a situation it can’t handle? It flags it for human intervention. You see it in your unified inbox, jump in, handle it, and the AI learns from your response for next time.
The Unified Inbox: Managing All Those Conversations
One thing I should mention. When you’re running campaigns through 10, 20, 50 fractional SDR profiles, you need a way to manage all those conversations without losing your mind.
That’s why SBL has a unified inbox. Every single conversation from every connected profile, all in one place. You can see what the AI is saying, jump into any conversation, assign teammates to handle specific chats, and never lose track of a hot lead because it came through a different sender account.
This sounds like a small feature but it’s actually critical. Without it, scaling becomes chaos. With it, you have control even at massive volume.
Who Should Use Fractional SDR Profiles?
Not everyone needs this. Let me be real about that.
If you’re doing under 500 outreach messages per month and your single LinkedIn account is handling it fine and you probably don’t need fractional SDRs yet. Focus on your messaging and targeting first.
But if you’re in any of these situations, fractional SDR profiles could be exactly what you need:
Agencies managing multiple client campaigns. You can’t scale an agency on one LinkedIn account. With fractional SDR profiles, each client can have dedicated sender accounts without you personally burning out your own profile.
Startups trying to compete with bigger sales teams. You don’t have budget for 10 SDRs but you need 10 SDRs worth of outreach. Fractional profiles level the playing field.
Founders doing their own sales. Your time is too valuable to manually send hundreds of LinkedIn messages. Connect fractional profiles and let the system work while you focus on closing deals that actually move the needle.
Common Questions people ask:
Can I see who my fractional SDRs are?
Yes. These aren’t anonymous bot accounts. They’re real people with real profiles. You can see who’s connected to your campaigns. You can even choose – if you want to remove or replace an account, just ask us and we will do it for you.
What if a fractional SDR stops working with me?
We have a large network of Fractional SDR network. If one SDR decides to leave, we replace them quickly within 48hrs. Your campaigns don’t stop.
Do the SDRs actually do anything or just lend their profile?
The AI handles the messaging and conversations. The SDRs provide their authenticated LinkedIn presence. They can also post about your brand if you want that additional visibility.
Is there a minimum number of profiles I need to get?
Nope. Start with one fractional SDR profile if you want to test it. Scale up when you see results.
What industries work best with fractional SDR profiles?
Anything honestly. B2B, SaaS, agencies, Consumer business targeting companies, consulting, recruiting, real estate, etc. Any industry if you sell to other businesses and those decision makers are on LinkedIn, this works.

Why We Built This (And Why Now)
I’ll be honest with you. We built fractional SDR profiles because we kept hearing the same frustration from founders and agencies.
“I can’t scale LinkedIn outreach without getting banned.”
“I can’t afford a real SDR team.”
“Every automation tool eventually gets my account restricted.”
And the existing solutions were all bad. Buying fake accounts is risky and gets you banned. Renting random accounts from sketchy marketplaces is even riskier. Hiring SDRs is expensive and slow.
Fractional SDR profiles solve all of that. Real humans, real profiles, real compliance, real scale. Without the risk or the cost of traditional approaches.
We coined this term because nobody else was talking about it. But I’m betting within a year, everyone in B2B sales will know what fractional SDR profiles are. Might as well be early:))
The Bottom Line on Fractional SDR Profiles
Look, if you want to scale LinkedIn outreach in 2026 without hiring a massive team or risking your accounts with shady automation, fractional SDR profiles are the answer we’ve been building toward. You get Real humans, Real profiles, Real compliance and Real scale.
40,000 to 100,000+ outreach per month is possible. The best LinkedIn automation tools in the world can’t get you there with a single account. But with a network of fractional SDRs? You’re not limited anymore.
We’ve been quietly building this since 2023. Testing it. Perfecting it. And now it’s ready for everyone.
If you’ve been frustrated by LinkedIn’s limits, if you’ve been jealous of companies with big SDR teams, if you’ve been looking for a better way… This is it.
