Overview
Does your campaign feel slow? You’re not alone — and the good news is that there are several proven ways to speed things up.
Whether the issue comes from audience size, daily limits, or multiple campaigns running in parallel, we can help you understand what’s slowing things down and how to fix it — without putting your accounts at risk.
Key benefits
Faster campaign execution
Better lead and campaign prioritization
More control over activation speed
Is your campaign properly segmented?
The very first thing to check is whether your audience is segmented enough.
A campaign often feels slow simply because there are too many leads to activate at once. But what does “too many leads” actually mean?
Based on our data, we strongly recommend keeping campaigns under 500–600 leads. Beyond that threshold, response rates tend to drop significantly.
So if you’re running a campaign with, say, more than 1,500 leads, that’s very likely part of the problem.
Important: If your sequence includes LinkedIn actions, keep in mind there’s a hard limit you can’t bypass: you can only add 140–160 leads per week on LinkedIn. There’s no workaround here — you’ll need to estimate how long full activation will realistically take.
Can you increase your daily limits?
You can check whether you’re hitting your daily limits directly from your identity settings.
Once those limits are reached, actions are automatically paused until the next day. This is a built-in safety mechanism.
That said, you can manually increase your daily limits if needed.
Important: Do this carefully. Increasing limits too aggressively can put your LinkedIn account at risk. Staying under the radar is key.
For more details, we recommend reading the dedicated article on daily limits.
Running multiple campaigns at once: good or bad idea?
Are you running multiple campaigns simultaneously using the same identity? If so, this could easily explain why execution feels slow.
When several campaigns share one identity, the question becomes: how are they prioritized?
Here’s the exact priority order:
Leads already activated (where actions have already started)
New lead activation in the oldest campaign
Once all leads in the oldest campaign are activated, move on to the next oldest campaign (N-1)
Tip: If one campaign is truly a priority, the simplest solution is often to pause the others temporarily.
Can I edit a campaign while it’s running?
If you’re on the Pro plan, you can take advantage of custom campaign features in La Growth Machine.
But can you edit a campaign after it has launched?
The short answer is: yes and no.
You can safely edit the copy in your campaign. However, changing the structure of a block will often cause the campaign to stop — which is why we don’t recommend it 😕.
Important: If you need to change the sequence structure, it’s usually better to duplicate or create a new campaign instead.
Still stuck?
If your campaign still isn’t moving as expected, we recommend checking out the dedicated guide: My campaign isn’t moving forward. It covers more advanced scenarios and edge cases.
