Most LinkedIn lead generation programmes cost $3,000 to $12,000 per month on retainer, $150 to $1,000+ per booked meeting on pay-per-appointment plans, or $2,000 to $10,000 for a fixed-scope pilot of 60 to 90 days. These are typical market / industry ranges, not AISH prices. Your quote depends on ICP difficulty, seniority of targets, personalisation depth, and whether LinkedIn runs alone or with email.
AISH scopes human-led LinkedIn programmes (real people research, write, and send). Until publishable AISH price bands are approved, see package structure on pricing and book a scoped quote: Calendly.
LinkedIn lead generation pricing models (market ranges)
Three models dominate the market. Pick based on volume need and how much delivery risk you want to carry.
| Model | Typical market range | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly retainer | $3,000-$12,000/month | Steady pipeline from a defined ICP |
| Pay per appointment | $150-$1,000+ per meeting | Broad ICPs; read qualification rules carefully |
| Hybrid | $1,500-$4,000 base + $100-$400/meeting | Shared risk without pure per-meeting pricing |
| Pilot | $2,000-$10,000 for 60-90 days | First engagement before a longer retainer |

When LinkedIn costs more than email
- Connection and messaging limits. Sane daily volume is lower than email, so each touch carries more research and copy time.
- Seniority. Reaching CFOs, founders, and public-sector leaders takes more manual verification.
- Personalisation depth. Connection notes that reference the prospect's business take longer than a light mail-merge.
- Account safety. Human sending at measured volume protects the profile. Aggressive automation can look cheaper until an account is restricted.

What drives cost
ICP difficulty, seniority and deal size, personalisation depth, and channel mix move price more than anything else. Across published AISH work, human-led outreach has booked 930+ qualified B2B appointments in 15 months at a 14% average reply rate, with a 38% average pipeline increase. Named campaigns are on case studies. Those numbers are not a forecast for your niche.
How AISH scopes a LinkedIn programme
AISH is a human-led agency, not a software tool. AI may assist research or draft preparation. Humans send every message and handle every reply. Typical scope: ICP lock, hand-picked lists, personalised LinkedIn (often with email), reply qualification, and iteration with a named account manager.
