Selling on Linkedin

Posted by: Omaha SEO Company , December 28, 2016
Posted in Social Sites | | 721 Views

Every second, more than two new members sign up for LinkedIn – joining nearly 500 million members in over 200 countries and territories.

Selling on Linkedin

With audience numbers like these, it’s no wonder salespersons look to the biggest professional network in the world to search for the perfect lead, follow up with contacts and carry out a number of different strategies to win accounts. Not all tactics are created equal, of course, as a sales rep can easily turn a hot lead cold or a cold lead hot depending on the steps they take to “sell” on LinkedIn. Let’s look at some of our top tips for using the network to create and close leads.

PREPARATION IS PARAMOUNT

We all know the better prepared you are, the higher your chances are at succeeding in life, and in social selling it’s no different. The first step to success in selling on Linkedin is having a complete and optimized profile. When crafting this profile, it’s critical to keep in mind the type of prospects you are trying to attract. This will allow you to craft targeted messaging that appeals to your specific audience, which will help ensure a positive, buyer-centric first impression. Fortunately, there are many sites that offer insight on how to optimize a profile and ultimately get more views. For example, to get more profile views, there are a handful of actions you can take, like follow certain people or join specific new groups. Having a solid connection base and a complete profile will provide the appropriate foundation to establish yourself as a selling authority.

CONTENT IS KING

Not everyone can be an award-winning author, but it’s important to acknowledge the fact that effective social selling requires high-quality content. As unique and compelling content becomes increasingly important in growth and differentiation, strong writing skills and the ability to generate unique content are driving forces behind sales. The key behind creating content is focusing on one area of expertise and topics you are knowledgeable about to offer practical and actionable information for your audience. Linkedin and Medium are two incredibly effective platforms for this type of communication geared to tailored audiences.

Additionally, crafting compelling headlines that have the ability to capture the readers’ attention is critical. An intriguing headlined followed by great content – not matter how long or short – can reap amazing benefits. For example, I recently attended a panel on women and inside sales, and following the conference I posted my takeaways in a blog post on Linkedin. While this write-up only took me 30 minutes to complete, it led to 2,500 views, 123 new Linkedin connections and helped create two new opportunities, one of which led to a closed deal. Being perceived an expert in your market is tremendously valuable in social selling and producing content that has the capacity to resonate with customers is a great way to establish credibility.

BECOME A GROUPIE

In order to get people interested in you, oftentimes you have to indicate interest in them first. This is where becoming a “groupie” becomes relevant for sales. Just as to being a groupie of your favorite band increases your chances of actually meeting them, joining and participating in relevant groups on LinkedIn increases your chances of generating leads and insights into your buyers.  I recently joined a group called “Sales Hacker” to discuss a recent email trend I saw occurring. Following the question I posed in the thread, I received 12 comments in just a few short days and the discussion itself ended up being great way to meet and engage with like-minded people. My advice right now would be to review relevant groups on LinkedIn and request to join. After gaining entrance, take time establish yourself as an active member by post engaging content and participating in discussions. This will help establish yourself as a source and an industry leader worth following.

SPREAD THE LUV

LUV stands for Leave Unsolicited Validation. Engagement is the glue to social selling and it’s truly incredibly how far a “like” can take you. I recently found a prospect I wanted to connect with so I began by liking pieces of their content – posts, shares, etc. Shortly after, this prospect began liking my posts as well and in no time we began a dialogue that resulted in a meaningful, professional relationship.

There are multiple ways to spread the LUV on LinkedIn with mentions, likes, shares, comments, recommendations, endorsements and follows. Find the option that works for you and begin practicing with interesting prospects that you believe may lead to successful sales deals or network relationships. Feel free to start with more subtle methods and then move to actions like commenting. Additionally, always remember to ensure your comments have a degree of value behind them — great comments are thought provoking and include questions for engagement and conversation.  These interactions will put you on the map, provide brand visibility and lead to more connections.

My husband and myself were looking for a company to not only build our website, but also attract people to it. Nabil and all Omaha SEO staff were beyond amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way. I am so grateful for their guidance throughout this whole process and I recommend them ten times over!

I had them to create my “Save the Date” announcements, I worked with the Graphic Designer, gave them what I was picturing and they took the concept I had in mind and made it better than I could have imagined. The turnaround was speedy. I highly recommend this company, very professional and customer oriented.

At the start of the year I had decided to invest in a company to help me grow my landscaping business and reach a new market here in Colorado. Omaha SEO Company was the right choice and I began seeing results right off the bat. Their team started by stream lining my website and making sure all my internet search information appeared correctly and professionally. I was even given help designing my logo, which I absolutely love! Ive since recieved quality leads increasing my business this season. I couldnt be happier being backed by their aid/support, and I look forward to growth in 2020!

Omaha SEO Company Gets FIVE STARS!
We have been working with Nabil and Omaha SEO Company for the past five months. When we first started with Omaha SEO, our Company, Visiting Angels was down around the 20th position on Google Search. In just three months Omaha SEO Company has us in 3rd ranking and we are still climbing. This is remarkable considering how competitive the Non-Medical Homecare space is in Omaha. This has also had a direct positive impact on new business for us over these past several months. Nabil is great to work with and truly cares about our business and our success, making sure we are doing the right things to keep us at the top!

Most SEO companies over promise and under deliver. Nabil and his team have knocked it out of the park and have been so good to work with. Personable, knowledgeable, prompt, and accountable. We feel we have a partner in our business to drive growth. Leads have increased and we made some operational changes to ensure the phones were being answered for a winning combo.

I had worked with Omaha SEO and felt that they were doing a lot of work for me and we still were not getting results like I wanted in a very competitive market. We tried some different ways to look at what was happening and then he got an idea. We tried it for a couple of weeks, and the phone rang almost every day. After a couple of weeks, "crickets" again. We knew what was made the difference--his idea worked. He kept working until I got results that brought clients to my door. I am very grateful for his professionalism and tenacity. It paid off.
