What is an Open Profile?

Open Profile is a Premium-only setting that lets any LinkedIn member message that user without using an InMail credit. A free message channel hidden in plain sight.

Who has Open Profile

Only Premium subscribers (Career, Business, Sales Nav, Recruiter) can enable it. Most leave it on by default.

How to detect Open Profile

On a Sales Navigator search, the OpenLink badge surfaces in lead detail. From a regular profile, the 'Free Message' link appears in the Premium banner. Roughly 5–10% of profiles you'll target are open.

Why it matters for outbound

If 8% of your queue has Open Profile, that's 8% you can message without burning an InMail credit and without being connected. Zero-cost incremental volume.

Infonet and Open Profile

Infonet automatically detects Open Profile on every lead in your queue and uses the free channel before consuming an InMail credit.
