How do you score your LinkedIn network by ideal-client fit?

Nynch's Network Scanner scores every LinkedIn connection against your ideal-client profile in minutes, surfaces the best-fit contacts ranked by likelihood, and turns a flat list of 1500 connections into a prioritized work surface of 50-80 real opportunities.

The Problem

Most solo consultants and fractional executives start with a single advantage: a personal network. A typical LinkedIn account has 1500 connections built over years. Most of them are real relationships. But buried in those 1500 are maybe 80 realistic future clients, 200 warm referrals, 300 past contacts, and 920 noise.

Trying to work off a flat list is inefficient. You scroll, squint at profiles, try to remember context from a coffee five years ago, and end up reaching out to the wrong people at the wrong time. Or you skip the list entirely and prospect from scratch, which costs months and ignores the relationships you already own.

What you need is a system that watches your connections through a lens: 'Who looks like my ideal client?' That single question, answered automatically and ranked by fit, transforms a useless contact list into a ranked opportunity queue.

How Nynch Solves It

Nynch's Network Scanner imports your LinkedIn connections and scores each one against your ideal-client profile using Authority Score, which combines publicly visible signals like company size, role level, recent activity, and engagement patterns. The result is a ranked list of connections who match your ICP, sorted by likelihood and recency. You then use Prospect Finder to drill into buckets, add context, and build outreach campaigns. See Understanding ICP Scores for more detail on how the scoring works.

How It Works in Nynch

Set Up Your Ideal Client Profile

Nynch asks you basic questions about your ideal client: company size, industry, job titles, revenue range, and buying signals. You answer once. The system remembers and uses it to score every connection.

Import LinkedIn Connections

Install the Nynch Chrome extension. Navigate to your LinkedIn network. Click 'Import Connections.' The extension runs in the background, pulling your entire connection list with public profile data. No additional logins. No manual CSV exports. See Using the Chrome Extension for setup instructions.

Review Scored Results

Nynch scores every connection and ranks them by fit. High-fit connections appear first, sorted by Authority Score (0-100). You immediately see who to reach out to, who to nurture passively, and who to flag as lower-priority. The list is filterable by industry, company size, title, and engagement level.

Build Campaigns from High-Fit Segments

Click into any high-fit group (70+ score, for example). Nynch lets you create a campaign, draft personalized outreach, and track opens and replies. You work from a pre-filtered, validated list of actual opportunities instead of guessing.

Pro Tips

• Import twice a year. LinkedIn changes constantly. Re-run the import every 6 months to catch new connections and re-score existing ones as their roles shift.
• Start with 70+. Don't try to work everyone. Focus first on connections scoring 70 or higher. That's your warmest, highest-fit segment.
• Add context manually. The system scores based on public signals. If you have context ('Maria mentioned she's looking for exactly what I do'), add a note to her profile. Nynch keeps that context on file.

Once you've prioritized by ICP fit, the next step is running a structured outreach rhythm. See Running Your First Campaign for guidance on cadence and messaging.

FAQ

Q: Does Nynch actually read every profile, or is it guessing?

A: Nynch imports public profile data via the Chrome extension (company, title, location, headline, recent activity). It does not guess. It scores based on that data plus Authority Score signals like engagement patterns and company signals. Private profile information is not accessed.

Q: What if my ICP changes? Do I need to reimport?

A: No. Update your ideal-client profile in settings, and existing scores recalculate automatically. Your connection list stays the same. Only the scoring criteria change.

Q: Can I export the scored list to a spreadsheet?

A: Yes. From the Network Scanner results, click 'Export.' You get CSV with all scores, company, title, location, and your internal notes.
