In today’s sales landscape, standing out in a crowded inbox is harder than ever. Traditional cold outreach, whether via email or LinkedIn, is becoming less effective as buyers are bombarded with generic messages every day.
But there’s one sales strategy that consistently cuts through the noise: LinkedIn voice notes.
Sales reps using LinkedIn voice messages are seeing response rates of up to 40%—a huge leap from traditional text-based outreach. Why? Because voice creates an instant human connection. It builds trust, conveys tone, and feels more personal than even the most well-crafted email.
Until now, the biggest problem with voice notes was scalability. They work incredibly well, but they’re time-consuming. Recording and sending personalised voice messages one by one simply doesn’t scale—especially for busy SDRs and sales teams focused on high-volume outreach.
That’s where AI changes everything.
For the first time, AI can generate human-level LinkedIn voice notes at scale—using your actual voice. This breakthrough means sales teams can now get all the benefits of personalised voice outreach, but without the time investment.
Let’s break down why LinkedIn voice notes work so well, how they outperform traditional outreach, and how AI is revolutionising sales engagement.
Why LinkedIn Voice Notes Are a Sales Game-Changer
1. Higher Response Rates Than Text Messages
The average response rate for LinkedIn InMail hovers around 10-25% depending on the industry and approach. But sales teams using voice notes are seeing response rates as high as 40%, according to outreach data.
Why? Because people are more likely to engage when they hear a real voice. Text-based messages often feel impersonal or automated. But when a prospect hears a message in someone’s own voice, they’re far more likely to respond.
2. Builds Trust Faster Than Cold Emails
Trust is the foundation of sales. But trust-building takes time—especially when prospects are wary of cold outreach.
A study by Gong found that prospects are 4x more likely to engage in a conversation when they feel a real human connection. Tone, pacing, and authenticity matter—and voice notes deliver all of that in seconds.
When you send a LinkedIn voice message, your prospect can hear your enthusiasm, sincerity, and confidence. This builds trust far faster than any text-based message ever could.
3. Personalisation Without the Effort
Sales leaders talk about the importance of personalisation all the time. But let’s be honest—most personalisation in outbound sales is just adding a prospect’s name or company to a templated message.
A LinkedIn voice note, however, feels genuinely personal. Even if the message is short, the act of recording it adds a layer of authenticity that makes it stand out.
4. Stands Out in a Crowded Inbox
Most buyers are drowning in cold emails and LinkedIn messages. But how often do they receive a voice note?
Very few sales reps take the time to send them. And that’s exactly why they work. The novelty alone makes a LinkedIn voice note 10x more likely to be noticed than a standard text message.
The Problem: Voice Notes Aren’t Scalable – Until Now
For all their advantages, LinkedIn voice notes have a major flaw: they don’t scale.
Recording and sending individual voice messages for every prospect takes time. And for SDRs working on high-volume outreach, time is everything.
This is why most sales teams don’t use voice notes consistently. Despite their high success rates, they’re simply not practical for mass outreach.
Until now.
Introducing AI-Generated LinkedIn Voice Notes
For the first time, AI can generate human-like LinkedIn voice notes—using your actual voice.
This is a world first in sales tech. Nova, our AI SDR, can now create personalised LinkedIn voice messages at scale, replicating your tone, style, and delivery—without you recording a single one.
Here’s how it works:
- Nova learns your voice using a short recording sample.
- She generates personalised LinkedIn voice notes that sound exactly like you.
- She sends them at scale, making every message feel authentic and tailored.
The result? Sales teams can now send hundreds of LinkedIn voice notes per week—without spending hours recording them manually.
Why AI-Generated Voice Notes Are a Game-Changer for Sales Teams
1. Scale Personalised Outreach Like Never Before
Most sales teams know that personalised outreach gets better results. But the challenge has always been balancing personalisation with efficiency.
With AI voice notes, reps can now send hundreds of unique, personalised messages in minutes—without sacrificing authenticity.
2. Human-Level AI, Not Robotic Automation
The problem with most AI-generated sales messages is that they feel robotic. They lack human tone, nuance, and warmth.
Nova’s AI-generated voice notes don’t have this problem. They sound exactly like the salesperson sending them—because they’re built using that person’s actual voice.
3. More Engagement, Less Effort
Sales reps already have too many tasks. Prospecting, research, CRM updates, follow-ups—it’s endless. Recording voice notes manually takes valuable selling time away from revenue-generating activities.
With AI voice notes, reps can get all the benefits of voice outreach without the time drain.
4. A Competitive Advantage in Sales Outreach
Most sales teams still aren’t using voice notes. Even fewer are using AI-powered voice messages.
That means early adopters will have a significant advantage. The first sales teams to integrate AI-generated voice notes into their outbound strategy will see higher response rates, faster conversions, and better engagement than their competitors.
The Future of AI-Driven Sales Outreach
AI is transforming sales at every level—from automated lead generation to predictive analytics to hyper-personalised messaging.
But voice has always been the missing piece. Until now, AI couldn’t replicate the authenticity of real human outreach.
Now, with AI-generated LinkedIn voice notes, sales teams finally have a way to combine the power of personal connection with the efficiency of AI automation.
The Bottom Line?
If you’re in sales and not using LinkedIn voice notes, you’re already behind. If you’re still sending only text-based messages, your outreach is less effective than it could be.
But now, for the first time, you don’t need to choose between highly personal outreach and scalable sales automation.AI voice notes make it possible to have both.
LinkedIn voice messages work. Now they work at scale.
Are you ready to take your outbound sales to the next level?
