8 Little-Known Ways to Find New Prospects on LinkedIn | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Most salespeople are sold on the power of LinkedIn. They keep their profiles in tip-top shape, look up their prospects' profiles before calling or emailing, and keep close tabs on what potential customers post in groups. Reps also know how to search for prospects and narrow the results down by industry, company, location, and other specifications.

In other words, they have the basics of prospecting on LinkedIn down.

But what if these strategies aren't yielding enough relevant prospects? While search is the most logical place to look for new opportunities, it's not the only method. Use the following eight ideas to find new prospects on LinkedIn when search isn't cutting it.

Easy to miss LinkedIn strategies that can give you the extra edge

Easy to miss LinkedIn strategies that can give you the extra edge | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

LinkedIn is built on the back of the individuals that make up the network – and that means to succeed on LinkedIn, your company’s strategy must be inclusive of “the people.”


Think of it this way. If you go around hugging babies and helping old ladies cross the street, people are going to think, “Now, that kid is a good egg, from a good family.”


Same goes for your company.


If the team is out there dropping knowledge bombs and lookin’ all smart and professional, it will reflect well on the company, too.

(Apparently this feature is being rolled out to their most influential contributors first — I’ll take it as a compliment, then.)

 

It’s news those of us in the B2B space have been waiting patiently for, like a labrador with sad eyes, for years.

 

Previously on LinkedIn you could only share videos from other sites. You couldn’t upload video natively onto the platform, as has become so ubiquitous on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others.

 

If you shared a link from YouTube it would embed itself and start playing in-stream (with the sound off), but the experience was still a long way behind most other social platforms....

Social Selling: 5 Ways to Use LinkedIn for Sales Prospecting | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Social selling is the art of using social networks to find, connect with, understand, and nurture sales prospects. According to HubSpot, “The use of social media in sales allows salespeople to delight their prospects rather than interrupt their daily lives with cold calls and hard sells, eventually converting them into loyal customers.”


Even though there are an abundance of social media communities, LinkedIn remains one of the most powerful platforms to use for business. LinkedIn, in their own words, says “This sales technique enables better sales lead generation and sales prospecting process and eliminates the need for cold calling. Building and maintaining relationships is easier within the network that you and your customer trust.”


They also share intriguing stats regarding the results of social selling:


- Social selling leaders create 45% more sales opportunities.


- Social selling leaders are 51% more likely to hit quota.


- 78% of social sellers outsell peers who don’t use social media.
