Lead Generation

LinkedIn allows you to surf around the users of its website by industry type and title in order to find the best contacts that are your Highest Potential Target Zone. You can also search for any desired company by typing their company name for any specific target customers. Moreover, people can also use LinkedIn to look for partners who fall in the type of field that you’re a part of. Make sure that your profile is always updated and has every type of information necessary for your potential clients to contact you and know about you.

Qualify Prospects

In order to qualify your interest, sending InMails VIA LinkedIn is a very prominent way. Instead of dialing a cold call, where your valuable time is wasted by putting your phone on hold and is randomly passed around various receptionists, InMail gives you the idea of being professionally connected with your client. InMail is a facility that enables you to directly contact your targeted company who are ready to know about you, your company’s business challenges and needs and thus are interested to undertake a business transaction with you. InMail users have been reportedly saying that “a three out of ten response to InMail requests” is positive!
