How Acquento got 3x the positive reply rate with LinkedIn engagement leads

Andreas Falsig ran the same campaign twice, once on Apollo leads and once on Cornersight leads. Cornersight got 3x the positive reply rate, and he cancelled A-Leads.

Before Cornersight

Andreas has run LinkedIn outbound for about 3.5 years and tried most lead tools. Tools like Apollo, A-Leads or Sales Navigator give people who fit the ICP on paper. But many are not active on LinkedIn, and many have no interest in what you sell.

How Acquento uses Cornersight

Cornersight gives him people who are active on LinkedIn right now and have shown interest in the topic. His outreach starts from a list of people already paying attention.

The split test

Two campaigns. Same messaging, roughly the same filters. The only difference was where the leads came from.

  • Cornersight leads: 96% positive reply rate (share of replies that were positive).
  • Apollo leads: around 32%.

He is booking far more meetings from the Cornersight campaign, "because obviously they showed interest in the thing that I do, and they are active on LinkedIn."

“The one from Cornersight is having a 96% positive reply rate and the other one is having around 32%.”

Alfredo: Hi everybody, welcome. Today we have a special guest: Andreas. Do you want to introduce yourself to anyone who doesn't know you?

Andreas: Absolutely. My name is Andreas. I'm the founder of Acquento. I've been running LinkedIn outbound for about 3.5 years across about 78 B2B clients, mostly in Europe and a little in the US. I've been using lead-gen tools for those 3.5 years, came across Cornersight a few months ago, and have been using it ever since.

Alfredo: What do you like most about Cornersight?

Andreas: With general lead scrapers like Apollo, A-Leads or Sales Navigator, you find lots of people who might not be live on LinkedIn, or might not have any interest in what you're doing. You get a list of generic leads that fits your ICP on paper, but might not fit what they actually do. With Cornersight you get much higher quality leads to base your outreach on.

Alfredo: And what results have you been getting with us?

Andreas: I can't lie, the results of Cornersight have been way better than any other lead-gen tool I've ever used to find and scrape leads. Across clients, I've seen a 36% increase in my overall results on average, across 15 clients in 2026. For myself, I launched a new campaign testing Cornersight leads against Apollo leads. So I was split testing two campaigns: same messaging, roughly the same filters, and the only difference was that one list came from Cornersight and the other from Apollo. The one from Cornersight is having a 96% positive reply rate, and the other one is at around 32%. I'm booking way more meetings with the Cornersight one, because they've shown interest in what I do and they're active on LinkedIn, so the conversions are way higher.

Alfredo: That's amazing. Final question: compared to your first expectations, and your plans for the future, are you planning to scale it? Were you surprised by the power of these signals?

Andreas: Absolutely. I was one of the early users, and when I started with Cornersight I didn't expect it to make as big a difference as it did. I think I'm 4 to 6 months in now, and I'm looking to scale it even more. As I take on more clients, I'll keep using it for them and make it my main lead-generation platform. I've actually cancelled my plan with A-Leads, which I was using before, so the only thing I'm relying on now is Cornersight.

Alfredo: That's really cool. For anyone who has questions or needs help with lead gen, where can they find you?

Andreas: Either on my website or on LinkedIn. Feel free to send me a DM and I'll be happy to see what we can do.

Alfredo: I think you're the only Andreas Falsig on LinkedIn.

Andreas: 100%. The last name isn't that common.

Alfredo: So find him there, or at acquento.com. Thank you so much, Andreas. Let's go get some more leads.

Andreas: For sure. Thank you, brother.
