When a LinkedIn post gets traction, most people see it as brand awareness: likes and comments that spread your reach.
But sellers and founders know better: LinkedIn engagement is warm intent hiding in plain sight. Every like or comment is someone raising their hand and signaling interest in your topic, product, or space.
There are two ways to tap into this goldmine:
Compare the tools that can help you capture, enrich, and qualify post engagement (what this post covers).
Follow a step-by-step guide to actually run the workflow yourself (we’ve written that here: How to pull leads from LinkedIn post engagement and qualify them fast).
This article focuses on the landscape of tools: what’s out there, what each one does well, and why Sendegg is the fastest all-in-one option.
Why LinkedIn post engagement is a lead generation goldmine
There are three main sources of engagement you can mine:
Your own posts → The lowest-hanging fruit. These engagers already know you and your product. They’re primed for direct follow-up.
Thought leaders’ posts → When a sales leader, investor, or influencer in your space posts, their comments section becomes a goldmine of ICPs. Perfect for tapping into an audience that already cares about your niche.
Competitors’ posts → Maybe the richest vein of all. If your competitor launches a feature or shares a case study, the people who like and comment are literally showing intent in your category. That’s the perfect moment to reach out with your differentiator.
No matter where the engagement comes from, the playbook is the same: turn warm signals into qualified pipeline, fast.
5 steps to turn LinkedIn post engagement into qualified leads
Think of it like mining:
Capture → scoop up everyone engaging on the post.
Enrich → add context (company, role, email, location).
Qualify → filter to your ICP (separate the nuggets from the dirt).
Outreach → reach out while the intent is still hot.
Keep track & follow up → don’t let precious leads slip through. A built-in CRM ensures you always know where every lead stands and can follow up at the right time.
Best tools to capture and qualify LinkedIn post engagement
Phantombuster
Great for exporting raw lists of likes/comments. But that’s where it stops — no enrichment, qualification, outreach, or CRM.
Clay
Excellent for enrichment and AI-powered filtering once you have a list. Doesn’t capture post engagement directly, and you’ll still need another tool for outreach and tracking.
Apollo
Strong database with enrichment and manual filtering. Like Clay, it won’t pull LinkedIn post engagers, and it lacks built-in outreach or CRM.
Folk
Lightweight CRM with enrichment and some filtering. Useful for organizing leads, but it won’t capture post engagement and requires other tools for outreach.
Sendegg
The only all-in-one. Capture engagers from any post (yours, thought leaders, or competitors), enrich automatically, qualify with AI columns, launch outreach from Gmail or LinkedIn, and keep track with a built-in CRM.
👉 Most tools give you parts of the workflow. Sendegg is the only one that does the entire loop: capture, enrich, qualify, outreach, and CRM, in one place.
Types of tools for LinkedIn lead generation
Manual exports and enrichment tools
Copy/paste names into a spreadsheet, then upload into Clay or Folk to enrich.
Gets the job done but painfully slow.
LinkedIn automation tools for engagement
Examples: Phantombuster, Dripify, Octopus.
Great for pulling raw lists of engagers.
But you’ll need separate enrichment + outreach steps.
Data platforms with enrichment and filtering
Clay: strong enrichment + AI filters.
Apollo: huge contact database.
Folk: lightweight CRM + enrichment.
Solid options, but none natively capture engagement from posts.

Pull post engagers from any LinkedIn post — your own, a thought leader’s, or even a competitor’s.
Auto-enrich with company and role info.
AI columns instantly qualify by ICP, seniority, or company type.
