Relationship management for people who have better things to do than maintain spreadsheets
What even is a LinkedIn CRM?
It's software that stops your brain from having to remember which Sarah works at the company you're pitching, whether you already messaged David about that collaboration, and when you last engaged with the prospect who's "just thinking about it" (three months ago).
Lime does the remembering. You do the relationship building.
Your connections aren't a database. They're actual humans
Most CRMs treat people like entries in a filing cabinet. Lime treats them like the complex, occasionally responsive, sometimes ghosting, usually busy humans they are.
Track every interaction - comments, DMs, coffee chats, that time you both awkwardly waved at each other during a LinkedIn Live.
Build a complete picture of each relationship so you never have to send "just following up!" to someone you spoke with yesterday.
Lime features that make networking feel less like… networking
Tag people however makes sense to your brain
Create tags for anything: "hot-prospect," "gives-great-referrals," "posts daily," "avoid at conferences," "owes me coffee."
Search by combinations. Find all prospects in London who work in SaaS and haven't responded to your last message. Or all your biggest supporters who work at companies with 50+ employees. Your network, your rules.
Mass tag connections based on searches - find everyone with "consultant" in their title, tag them all at once. Build comprehensive organization without clicking 500 times like some kind of medieval data entry punishment.
Stop letting the LinkedIn algorithm choose your friends
Set check-in schedules for each connection based on strategic importance.
Your hottest prospect? Set daily check-ins to stay visible without being creepy.
Established client? Choose monthly check-ins to maintain the relationship without hovering like an anxious parent.
That person who connected with you three years ago and only posts crypto tips? Never. Just… never.
The Week(s) Ahead shows everyone you need to engage with today, this week, next week. No more "I really should reach out to…" guilt that follows you around like a needy ghost.
The system reminds you. You just do it.
Citizen Score: relationship strength as an actual number
Every interaction increases a connection's Citizen Score - comments, DMs, meetings, conversations. The score grows when you engage consistently and (plot twist) decreases when you ghost them for three months because you got busy.
Why this matters: Know when relationships are strong enough for big asks versus when they need more nurturing.
Asking someone with a Citizen Score of 15 to buy from you is like proposing on the first date. Bold? Sure. Effective? Not typically.
Asking someone with a score of 85? That's just good timing.
Track which relationships are thriving and which you're accidentally neglecting despite them being "high priority."
Kanban boards because visual people exist
Create Lime Boards for sales pipelines, partnership development, podcast guest workflows - any process where the aim is to move people through stages.
Drag connections between segments as relationships progress: Prospect → Qualified → Proposal Sent → Negotiating → Closed Won.
See your entire pipeline at a glance. Identify bottlenecks (why are 12 people stuck in "Proposal Sent"?). Celebrate wins (look at all those humans in "Closed Won").
Actually know what's happening in your business instead of cheerfully hoping things are going well.
Dated reminders for humans without a photographic memory
Set specific follow-up dates for individual connections:
* "Follow up on proposal in 5 days"
* "Check in after their Q4 ends - they said budget opens in Jan"
* "Congratulate them when their book launches next month"
* "Attend their LinkedIn Live on Thursday"
Reminders appear in The Week(s) Ahead so nothing falls through the cracks.
Following through on promises builds trust. Forgetting builds… whatever the opposite of clients is.
Search that doesn't make you want to scream
Native search can be like using a metal detector at the beach and finding mostly bottle caps. And ring pulls.
Lime's search finds actual, relevant people:
Search by name, tag, company, or other text (job titles, notes, anything you've written about them)
Use negative searches to exclude people: find all VAs except ones you’ve already contacted
Filter by Citizen Score to find neglected high-value relationships
Filter by check-in schedule to see everyone on daily engagement
Filter by date connected to work through your network systematically
Combine everything for surgical precision: "Show me prospects in SaaS with Citizen Score below 30 who I connected with in the last 90 days"
Then bulk-action the results - tag them all for efficiency that makes you feel like you've finally figured out this whole "networking" thing.
What you'll accomplish
Find the goldmine in your existing network instead of constantly chasing new connections who don't know you
Engage consistently with strategically important people without the mental load of remembering who matters and when to reach out
Track relationship development so you know when someone's ready for your pitch versus when they need more nurturing
See your pipeline clearly across sales, partnerships, or any workflow - no more vaguely hoping things are progressing
Stop forgetting to follow up on promises, proposals, or conversations - dated reminders ensure nothing falls through cracks
Organize chaos into strategy with tags, boards, schedules, and scores that make 2,000+ connections actually manageable
Save hours previously spent scrolling, searching, and wondering "didn't I already message this person?"
Turn dormant connections into active relationships that respond, engage, refer, and eventually pay you
Pricing that won't make your accountant question your judgment
Start turning your connection list into a relationship strategy
