How the ranking works
The tool looks for four kinds of reason, in this order of weight:
- They just moved. Someone who started a new role in the last few months is rebuilding their world. They are open to new people and often inherit hiring.
- Their company is moving. A funding round, a new senior appointment, an expansion or roles on the company's own careers page. Each one is a reason to call, and two together are a stronger one.
- The relationship is real. A client who has hired through you or someone you placed will take your call. A connection you have never spoken to probably won't, yet.
- The timing of your last conversation. A few months to a year since you spoke is the sweet spot: warm enough to pick up, long enough that a call is overdue. If you spoke this week, they drop down the list.
When two people tie, the more senior title goes higher. Each card shows the reasons behind its place, so you can disagree with the order.
The tool uses fixed rules, not AI. It works from what you tell it and nothing else. Annie works the same way at full depth, and she finds the reasons for you.
What to do with your three
Call before you email. A call to someone with a real reason gets a conversation. An email gets filed.
Open with the reason, then ask a question about them. Leave the pitch until they have talked.
Write down what happened before you dial the next one. That note is tomorrow's reason to call.
Why three
A list of thirty is a to-do list you will avoid. Three calls, in order, is a morning you will actually do. Get through all three, then come back and run it again.
Looking for a free recruiting CRM?
This tool does one CRM job for free: it picks today's calls from a short list. Annie does the same job every morning, from your whole network and your market. She also holds your contacts, companies, jobs, candidates, pipeline, placements and invoices. See the CRM for recruiters page, or start the 7-day trial. It needs no card.
Questions
No. The tool runs in your browser. Nothing you type or upload is sent to Annie or saved, and it's gone when you refresh or close the tab.
A CSV file, such as the Connections.csv inside your LinkedIn data export. You can also paste rows straight from a spreadsheet, one person per line. For Excel files, save as CSV first.
It weighs four things: a recent move to a new role, news at their company, how strong your relationship is, and how long since you last spoke. Each card shows the reasons behind its place.
It's a small, free version of one thing Annie does. Annie reads your whole network, your mailbox and the news about your companies every morning, so you don't need to answer questions.
Keep it if it's working for you. Most tools are built around sending. Annie's job is knowing who to call. Every morning she reads your own network and your market, spots funding rounds and new appointments at companies where you know someone, picks up moves when you re-upload your LinkedIn file, and tells you who's worth a call and what to say. Run her alongside what you have, or use her as your whole CRM, with pipeline, candidates, placements and invoices included. $159 a month, 7-day free trial, no card, cancel any time.
