Generating LinkedIn Leads if done properly can give your business a steady stream of fresh targeted leads it needs to take off to a new level. Check out the following 5 LinkedIn hacks that will improve the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-title\">Running a sales and marketing department in a B2B startup and <a href=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/2747-2in-2020-influencer-marketing-trends-is-top-7-in-b2b\/\">B2B influencer marketing trend<\/a> is totally different from running the same department in a B2C setting. The difference lies in how both acquire paying customers or users. While you probably need 100,000 users to be considered a \u201cgood\u201d B2C startup, you may only need 10 to 20 paying businesses for your B2B product or service.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"prose\">\n<p>Additionally, while B2C startups can pay for ads in the App Store, on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social platform, the options are very limited for a B2B startup. For the latter, you must do boring things such as hiring sales reps, generating leads from limited channels, and trying to convert the Leads to paying customers. You will not get enough customers without generating high-quality leads first, and based on my experience running the sales and marketing department for a digital content agency (Penulis.id), most of our important customers come from LinkedIn. In fact, 60 percent of our leads come from there, including \u201cVVIP\u201d corporate customers such as telco and cigarette companies.<\/p>\n<p>How then do we actually generate high-quality leads from LinkedIn? Here we go. (Spoiler: It does not involve spam.)<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a139b24290a8\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a139b24290a8\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/linkedin-leads-for-your-b2b-business\/#LinkedIn_Leads_%E2%80%93_not_like_Facebook\" >LinkedIn Leads &#8211; not like Facebook<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/linkedin-leads-for-your-b2b-business\/#Get_your_website_unstuck_now_How_Click_the_Omaha_SEO_link_below\" >Get your website unstuck now!

Before using LinkedIn to generate leads (or using it for any meaningful purpose), you need to make your profile page as professional as possible. Use your best suit or dress and ask your photographer friend to create a professional look. Do not use your passport photo either\u2014it looks stupid. Make sure that your profile photo is professional enough to make your prospective leads trust you.<\/p>\n<p>Consider your profile on LinkedIn as your portfolio and credentials. You can share your client case studies, recommendations, or testimonials. If you have the extra money, you can go premium for US $59 a\u00a0month. This can help you look more professional in front of your prospective leads and also give you extra features such as unlimited search and InMail.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 144px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 109px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 990.8px; height: 109px;\">\n<h3 class=\"et_pb_module_header\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #3366ff;\">Get your website unstuck now!

However, this will only ruin your social value\u00a0and earn you and your B2B startup a reputation as a spammer. Not a good scenario, right? So what should we do after someone accepts our connection request?<\/p>\n<p>Simply introduce yourself and offer them case studies that may relate to them. Do not try to sell anything. Instead, try to give them case studies similar to their potential problem. Make sure they know that you\u2019re available to talk further if they want to discuss. In the end, the target is not sales, but a coffee meeting with your new LinkedIn buddy.<\/p>\n<p>You must position yourself as someone who wants to help them, not to sell them something.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Share_something_related_to_your_industry\"><\/span>Share something related to your industry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It can be a case study, research, PDF content, or other such useful information. You can also use the LinkedIn post to share about anything related to your industry. It will build your credentials and if you\u2019re lucky it will generate leads for your startup as well. My department once released a PDF document on a new way to write in social media, and it generated more than 3,000 leads without us paying for any ad service.<\/p>\n<p>However, do make sure you send the actual PDF. Why? Because there are some jerks who offer PDF content to generate leads\u00a0but don\u2019t actually send them. It is truly bad for business if you are lying to your prospective leads.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scroll_over_LinkedIn_home_and_groups\"><\/span>Scroll over LinkedIn home and groups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, you will find something interesting in LinkedIn home or groups. People share whatever they want and sometimes there is an opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>For example, my startup offers digital content services for companies. When I saw one of my connections post a job ad for a writer position, I tried to reach them and share my expertise in digital content. I know they needed a new writer because they wanted to create content for their business, and they wanted to create content for their business because they needed to generate their own leads. So, I reached out and offered them advice on digital content. More often than not, this technique helps me secure invites for coffee meetings and get leads to try our content services.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_the_relationship_even_if_they_dont_buy\"><\/span>Keep the relationship even if they don\u2019t buy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Of course, most of my connections on LinkedIn don\u2019t end up buying something from me. However, I make sure they know who to call when they need digital content. With the combination of strong credentials and a personal relationship, a lot of my LinkedIn connections recommend our services to their own connections.<\/p>\n<p>There were some cases when previous LinkedIn connections bought our service when they started at a new company. Sometimes, the timing may not be right for your leads to buy, so you will need to keep in touch with all your connections for the right time. The worst case scenario: you will get an additional friend.<\/p>\n<p>Those five B2B startup growth hacks for LinkedIn Leads have something in common. The key is to just be organic, real, and human. Remember, LinkedIn is a social media platform for professionals, not a sales tool for your company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Generating_Leads\"><\/span><strong>Generating\u00a0Leads<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While several might not view LinkedIn as a network with the capabilities of direct sales, it is one of the best networks to demand lead generation. Aside from the raw and organic measurements of obtaining leads via LinkedIn, the platform now offers personalized means of identifying new leads, engaging with those potentials, and transforming them into consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Prospects are likely to posts questions. By listening, networking, and responding, the potential of a new lead via LinkedIn becomes more imaginable. If the answer you return to the prospect is what the potential client is looking for, then they will initiate communications.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a common misconception that social media is only for B2C companies in order to build overall brand awareness and develop a marketing strategy. As a B2B marketing expert, you are responsible for several tasks including lead generation, reputation, and providing real, measurable results. B2B marketers net undeniable results on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d47991.752477449954!2d-96.07742972944712!3d41.25478499463961!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e6!4m5!1s0x8793f2a1d41aabdb%3A0x674db190923d4d14!2sN%20112th%20Ct%20%26%20Blondo%20St%2C%20Omaha%2C%20NE%2068164!3m2!1d41.2777525!2d-96.08873469999999!4m5!1s0x87938c3d0c92fcb1%3A0x98cf112f2e9fe028!2s5223%20Grover%20St%2C%20Omaha%2C%20NE%2068106!3m2!1d41.2266913!2d-95.99608579999999!5e0!3m2!1sfil!2sus!4v1653460050053!5m2!1sfil!2sus\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Via\u00a0 http:\/\/www.business2community.com\/b2b-marketing\/4-reasons-b2b-marketers-use-linkedin-01778676<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businesses are finding that the LinkedIn platform is fantastic for gathering leads.

After leaving a CFO role at a seven\u2011figure nonprofit, I built my first online business and hit #1 in AOL search within weeks\u2014then clients started asking me to replicate those results for them. Since then, I\u2019ve helped businesses turn WordPress sites into high\u2011performing assets through technical SEO, site architecture, speed, and content strategy, and I\u2019ve built and sold a WordPress site after growing it to 1,000+ organic keyword rankings. Today I own or co\u2011own multiple city\u2011based SEO properties that compete at the top in tough U.S. markets, and I now offer AI SEO so brands can show up in Google results and AI\u2011generated answers.
