Transforming Cold Contacts into Sales with LinkedIn and Sales Navigator

When it comes to generating sales through LinkedIn, clarity is key for you. Start by understanding two critical aspects:

• Your Niche: What exactly is your area of expertise?
• Your Customer: Who are they and what do they need?

Be Seen - Be Visible

Using LinkedIn, you'll want to define a few specific criteria:

• ???????? Company Size: Are you targeting small teams (0-10 employees) or larger ones (10-20 employees)?
• ?? Growth Indicators: Look for companies experiencing growth in revenue or staff (1-5%).

In Sales Navigator, input these details to find your ideal companies. Remember to categorize your search results meticulously. For instance, group accounting firms in Reading, UK separately from telecom companies.

Once you've categorized these companies, head to the leads section. Here's where you align your contacts with the lists, using consistent labeling.

Warming Up Your Target Audience

Feeling overwhelmed? ?? Don’t worry, you're not alone. Let’s break it down:

Step 1: Follow all your targeted contacts.

Step 2: Dive into their activity. What are they posting about? What interests them?

Step 3: Identify topics you both care about.

Step 4: Create and post content that resonates with both your and your targets' interests.

Step 5: Engage with your targets by commenting on their posts.

Step 6: After building some visibility, send them a personalized connection request: “I’d love to connect and see more of your content on my timeline.”

After a week of engaging with their content, suggest a casual, no-sales call to get to know each other. If there's a mutual fit and they align with your values, you're on your way to doing business together.
