Select the contacts to bulk disconnect from
Select all the contacts that you want to disconnect from by checking them all in your Poked CRM.
We recommend using the filters to look for people based a few criteria:
- Low interaction. Try using the “Have we talked?” filter to see only people you’ve never engaged with on LinkedIn.
- Unrelated industries. Filter out contacts in other professional worlds.
- Strangers. Filter our people from far away countries that have been added by mistake, or use a negative filter to find those that don’t speak your language.
- Low follower count. As these people might now be active on LinkedIn.
Make sure to go over all each contact before mass disconnecting, to avoid mistakes.
ℹ️Use the “Select all” banner to select contacts over multiple pages. - 3

5 Reasons Why You Should Bulk Disconnect from Irrelevant LinkedIn Contacts
- Boost Content Engagement: Your LinkedIn posts' reach is partly determined by how your connections engage with them. A network filled with irrelevant contacts means lower engagement and, consequently, reduced visibility. Cleaning up your network can give your future posts the visibility they deserve!
- Make Room for Valuable Connections: LinkedIn caps your connections at 30,000. If you're nearing this limit, it's time to prune your network. Use Poked to declutter and make space for connections that truly add value to your professional life.
- Enhance Network Quality: It's not just about having a vast network; it's about having a relevant one. By disconnecting from contacts that no longer align with your professional interests, you ensure your network remains high-quality and beneficial.
- Reduce Distractions in your LinkedIn feed: A more targeted LinkedIn network means less clutter in your feed. This allows you to focus more on content and connections that are relevant to your current professional needs.
- Realign Your Professional Goals: As your career evolves, so should your LinkedIn network. Regularly updating your connections ensures that your network aligns with your current professional trajectory and goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my LinkedIn contacts be notified when I disconnect from them?
No, LinkedIn does not notify users when someone disconnects from them. The removal process is discreet, and your contacts will not receive any notification about the disconnection. However, they may notice the change if they visit your profile or look for you in their connections list.
Will the LinkedIn contacts I disconnected from still follow me?
Disconnecting from a contact on LinkedIn does not automatically remove them as a follower. They will still be able to see your public posts and updates unless they choose to unfollow you or you block them.
How does the bulk disconnect feature help in managing my LinkedIn network more efficiently?
The bulk disconnect feature allows you to efficiently curate your LinkedIn network by removing outdated or less relevant contacts. This helps in maintaining a more focused and valuable network, making room for new, more relevant connections that align better with your current professional goals and interests.
Is there a limit to how many connections I can disconnect from at once using PokedHQ.com?
Yes, to ensure responsible use of the platform and to align with LinkedIn's guidelines, there is a limit to the number of connections you can disconnect from at one time. This helps in maintaining the quality and integrity of your network while using our tool.
Can I undo a bulk disconnection if I change my mind?
Once you have disconnected from contacts using the bulk disconnect feature, the action cannot be undone automatically. If you change your mind, you will need to reconnect with each individual manually by sending them a new connection request.
