What the reshares competitor signal is
HeyLead is an AI agent for LinkedIn outreach: it finds the right people, writes to them in the voice of your own LinkedIn posts, follows up, and handles replies. It runs from Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client or a web dashboard.
The reshares competitor signal means a person reposted a competitor's content. This signal comes from a person's own activity on LinkedIn. It is attached to 1 person. The signal expires after 14 days. It raises priority for that person. It does not write the invite note.
How HeyLead detects this signal
HeyLead watches 40+ signal types. These signals are scored. They are matched to your ICP. They expire over time. HeyLead re-reads the profiles and posts of people in your campaigns. It searches LinkedIn for your keywords.
The reshares competitor signal gets a weight of 0.45. Scores run from -0.30 to 0.90. A negative score lowers priority. A strong signal starts outreach. The opener says why now.
What to write in your outreach
You open with what they did. You mention the post, the move, or the comment. You put this in a sentence about it. You then ask 1 question they can answer in writing. You include no pitch in the first message.
Before an invitation, HeyLead warms up. It does a profile view. It does a follow. It leaves a comment on a recent post. HeyLead reads your own LinkedIn posts to learn your voice. It never posts unless you ask for a post.
How to start a campaign
You type a 1-sentence brief in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or the HeyLead dashboard. HeyLead works in ChatGPT as a custom MCP app. This is tested on ChatGPT Pro. Custom apps depend on your ChatGPT plan and settings. 1 sentence creates a draft campaign. HeyLead drafts the campaign. You review it and press Launch. Nothing is sent until you press Launch.
An invitation goes out with a note. It includes an opening message. You get up to 2 follow-ups on Free and 5 on Pro. It includes InMail and email fallback. Opening messages, follow-ups and answers to replies wait for your approval until you switch to autopilot. Invitations, not-now check-ins and meeting nudges are not held.
Managing replies and goals
Replies are read, classified and answered from the campaign's facts. Anything ambiguous is held for you. A not now reply gets a check-in in 30 days. You can choose from 6 campaign goals. You can sell a product or service, find a job, hire people, find partners or investors, find a vendor, or research interviews. Hire people, find partners or investors and research interviews work with a custom brief.
HeyLead syncs with HubSpot. It books into Google Calendar. It runs from the cloud with your laptop closed. Free costs $0 for 1 connected account with 2 follow-ups. Pro costs $29 a month per connected account. The client's source is on GitHub under MIT. The hosted backend is not.
