What's a good LinkedIn outreach response rate for a B2B tech founder?

Why the reply you count decides whether your outreach books calls or just collects polite thank-yous. Below 1% if you open with a pitch, and up to about 35% when your targeting is sharp and your first message asks for nothing. That's the top end for a tech founder running their own outreach. The number worth tracking is narrower: Replies where the buyer names a problem, and how many of those become booked calls.
