Our mission at Esferas is to help our users grow and strengthen their professional network in a fast-paced, technology-driven world by connecting job seekers to opportunities and recruiters to qualified applicants.

To get started, log in to Esferas and complete the account setup process. The steps below can help guide you through the process and get you on your way to supercharging your connections!

1. Install the Esferas.io Chrome Extension

Esferas.io utilizes a Chrome Extension to facilitate actions between your Esferas and LinkedIn accounts according to your configured schedule. The Esferas.io extension routinely polls your LinkedIn contacts and inbox, keeping your data up-to-date. You'll need to install the Esferas.io Extension to get the most out of the system.

  • Steps:
    • Visit the Chrome Web Store.
    • Search for the Esferas.io extension and click "Add to Chrome."
    • Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

2. Create Your First Message Template

Message Templates are user-designed messages used by Esferas to deliver tailored, targeted messages to your Prospects. Message Templates can be created for connection requests and follow-ups. Each template can be configured with dynamic replacements and used in Action Sequences or directly through the Esferas.io extension.

  • Steps:
    • Log in to your Esferas account.
    • Navigate to the Templates section.
    • Click "Create New Template" and design your message.
    • Save the template for use in your Action Sequences.

3. Create Your First Action Sequence

Action Sequences are a set of actions that you use to visit, connect, and follow up with your Prospects. Each sequence can be configured to include up to five actions and is set on a timeline that works best for you. Since Esferas completes these actions on your behalf and tracks any responses you receive, it helps you follow up with your Prospects automatically!

  • Steps:
    • Go to the Action Sequences section in Esferas.
    • Click "Create New Sequence."
    • Add the desired actions (e.g., visit profile, send connection request, follow-up message).
    • Set the timeline and configure any necessary settings.
    • Save your sequence.

4. Import Your Prospects

Prospects are LinkedIn profiles that have been imported into your Esferas account and represent targets for your connection requests and Action Sequences. We offer multiple methods for importing your Prospect into the application depending on each user's needs. Depending on the number and source of your Prospects, you'll need to determine the method that works best for you.

  • Methods:
    • Bulk Import via Sales Navigator: Use saved searches and lead lists from Sales Navigator.
    • Search Tool: Use Esferas.io’s built-in search tool to find and import Prospects.
    • Individual Profile Import: Use the Esferas.io extension to import profiles from LinkedIn.
    • Existing Connections: Export your connections from LinkedIn and import them into Esferas.io.
