1 LeaderBe a ThoughtTo start generating results from LinkedIn and social selling, you need tobecome a thought leader within your industry. There are two avenues ofapproach to being a thought leader in business.Step OneIf you’re a sales rep at Company ABC, you need to be subscribing to piecesof thought-leadership that you can share with your prospects, vendors, andclients.For example, Ken is a fantastic creator of great thought-leadership. Jamiesubscribes to Ken’s blog and views the information using Feedly, a productused to visualize RSS feeds into a newspaper. Other tools he uses to capturequality content to share with his prospects are Scoop.it and HootSuite.Step TwoCreate original content. Easy ways of distributing content are using a blog,SlideShare or YouTube (video is becoming extremely important).InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
2DriveOpportunityAfter relevant content has been curated and digested by your prospects,you can start driving meeting requests through LinkedIn.Remember, LinkedIn is not a repository for your resume. It’s a place toactively drive business.ExampleIf your prospect posted an article (update) on LinkedIn four minutes ago,you can see they are engaged online. Whether you use the telephone tocall them or send a message through LinkedIn, you know the chances arehigh that they are available to pay attention to your message.Additionally, make sure you’re using a call-to-action at the bottom ofevery message. This creates a much higher ROI. It’s a great method tobooking meetings.NotPlace to sit passivelyRepository for resumeInsideSales.com Sales for LifeIsTo Use call-to-actionActively drive businessShare this eBook:
3 GroupsTheSecrets withinNothing is more powerful within LinkedIn than groups. As a member ofLinkedIn, you are allowed to join 50 groups. Use every one.When deciding which groups to become a memberof, think in three levels.FirstJoin five to ten groups that everyone else in yourindustry is joining.SecondGo a layer lower within specific verticals. Forexample, join groups that clients are involved in.ThirdMost importantly, is to understand the personaof your buyer.At Sales for Life, they sell to VPs of Sales and SalesDirectors. Therefore, they need to be involved inevery major group in North America that thesebuyers are part of.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeGroups to joinThink in3 LevelsIndustryClientInvolvedBuyersPersonaShare this eBook:
4 Hunting toolSkills as a SEOAt the top of a company’s LinkedIn corporate page there is a buttoncalled “Insights.” This is where LinkedIn provides a profile outline of thatparticular company.For example, on InsideSales.com’s LinkedIn page, it shows the most commonskills that InsideSales.com employees have.How to TargetIf you’re targeting companies like InsideSales.com, you can select a skilllike “Lead Generation.” The link will take you to a page that shows all themost influential companies relating to that skill and the most populousgroups you’d want to join. This tool is extremely useful when mappingout groups to join.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
5 InMailsSave yourIf you aren’t connected to someoneon LinkedIn, you are unable to sendthem a message without using InMail,a paid service.However, if you’re a member of Sales2.0 and Inside Sales Experts you cansend anyone within that group aprivate message even though youaren’t a 1st degree connection.There isn’t enough data yet todetermine if InMails are opened morefrequently and have a greater ROI thanother LinkedIn messages. Regardless,sending messages through sharedLinkedIn groups is the best avenue.InsideSales.com Sales for Lifesend messagesthrough a group pageShare this eBook:
6 In Groups‘Hot Prospects’The great part about groups is that they provide numerous prospects. Aftersending a message and starting a conversation with a quality prospect, goback into that same group and target other group members.How to Find ProspectsYou can do this by conducting advanced searches based on targetedkeywords, key company functions or seniority. This will provide you anendless prospecting pool, all of which is available with free messaging.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
7Follow‘Hot Prospects’LinkedIn allows users to follow up to 5,000 people. Following is differentthan connecting but the benefits are the same.Best PracticeTo build your database, go into any group you are a member of and pull upthe list of group members. You’ll notice that at the bottom of the profilesof the people who you are in 1st degree connection, it will say, “Unfollow.”If you start scrolling into the 2nd and 3rd degree connections, you’ll noticethat the button changes to “Follow.”InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
8 FollowersTiming withinTiming is everything when it comes to getting in touch with prospects. Thisis where LinkedIn is so helpful.By using LinkedIn as a “time trigger,” you know the moment a prospectposts an update. Because of this, there is a strong possibility they could stillbe on their computer. Use this as an opportunity to time your message andincrease the likelihood of making contact with a message on LinkedIn ora phone call!TipIf your prospect has the time to be using LinkedIn right now – they probablyare available to take a phone call. You have a much higher probability ofgetting him on the phone at this time than at any other time.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
9 SignalsTiming withinUse this tool to createbetween 30 and 50trigger words usingcompetitors and key industry phrases. Check this tool threetimes per day: in the morning, at lunch and in the evening.How ToOn the top bar within LinkedIn, hover over the option thatreads “News.” Within that drop down menu, select the thirdselection called, “LinkedIn Signal.” This tool allows you tocreate trigger words to keep track of particular topics.You can probably imagine how powerful this tool is. Ifsomeone says the words “social selling” and that’s one ofyour keywords, you will hear it and will be able to respondaccordingly.TipSales for Life has found, from their own business, that 70%of every lead created is through this method.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
10AttackFollowers3 types ofIn addition to the “LinkedIn Signal feature,” thereis another technique that is equally importantfor driving business with NextConsumerThis immediately tells you they’re going to bethe most receptive to a message that includes asuccess story featuring that client.FollowersPick a client with a strong success story fromusing your product.Go onto their corporate LinkedIn page and clickon “Followers.”Why?Because if you are a follower of a company youare one of three types of people: the directcompetitor (they want to know what you’redoing), competitive emulation (other companiesin your space with the same target audience), orconsumer that have used your product (vendors,partners and past clients).InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
11 BusinessInsights into theirIn addition to viewing the followers of a client, you can also gain powerfulinformation by clicking on that same company’s “Insights” button.How ToThis feature within LinkedIn will retrieve six similar businesses that you cantarget. These are the people who would probably care about the successstory of that similar company. Start messaging these people—they couldprovide great value.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
12 nameGrab yourMake sure that your public profile URL is shortened to contain just yourname, i.e. http://www.linkedin.com/in/kenkrogue. If you leave the defaultassigned by LinkedIn, your personal URL will have a series of random lettersand numbers. It looks like a mess and is hard to remember and link to. Makesure you grab your name before someone else does.TipIf you aren’t able to grab your own name, try adding something that sayssomething about your professional expertise or industry. For example,if Ken Krogue had been taken, I would have chosen /kenkroguesales.Sales says a lot more about me than /kenkrogue1, which is the typicalfallback /4a/328InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
13 PictureUse a GoodLinkedIn is a professional site—it’s not a personal site like Facebook. Thatbeing said, make sure your LinkedIn profile picture portrays you in aprofessional manner. You probably won’t have the same profile image asyou do on Facebook.How ToTo ensure your picture looks professional, use a good, close-up picture thatstands out. At InsideSales.com, we use a black and white, short-croppedhead shot. Why black and white? It stands out. Make your picture uniquewhile maintaining a professional appearance.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:

15Make yourwedding/funeral listTo begin building out your network, the first thing you can do is make awedding or funeral guest list.Why?This is an old prospecting technique with a new twist. I’m told that weddingplanners and funeral directors estimate the average wedding or funeral at250 attendees if they don’t know how many people are coming.Imagine if you linked to 250 people who care about you. Wouldn’t theybe the best place to start prospecting and looking for introductions,recommendations, and referrals?MY NETWORKBuild yourNetworkInsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
16 CustomersConnect to yourWithin the B2B world, nobody is more important than your customersand clients. With that in mind, it makes sense that you should connect toeach of them, adding them as part of your LinkedIn network.By receiving their LinkedIn updates and content posts, I get to knowthem and can start to connect to others that have similar interests andpain points.From connecting with your customers, they become your biggest resourcefor prospects. We recommend that your CEO, VP of Sales, VP of Support,among others, reach out as part of the welcome process to each newcustomer and connect. Then reach out to them now and again to ask, “How arethings coming?”TipBe sure to organize your customers with tags. That way you can easilyfind them.Organize Customers with tagsReachOutto customersInsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
17 CompaniesFollow yourCustomer’sAfter connecting to your customers, follow their companies so that you cansee the news flow that comes through LinkedIn. Similar to Jamie’s previousidea, by following customer companies you gain insight into the biggestnews coming out of that company.Keep in MindCustomers like when you know things that are going on in their organizations.It shows that you care and that you are invested in keeping them asa customer.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
18 EmployeesConnect to yourWhen deciding who to add as a connection, start with the people you’resurrounded by every day—fellow employees. If you’re in a management levelposition, spend time and teach your colleagues and employees the valueof using LinkedIn as a team.TipDo it from day one in the onboarding process for all new hires. In orderto gain the maximum results from LinkedIn, this should be a group effort.Make sure you get your people together and coordinate your effortsand strategies.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
19 PersonHave a PointLinkedIn works by letting you view people who are two levels deep –meaningyou can connect to a person through a series of two other people startingwith the one you know.Best PracticeHave at least one person in the company who reaches out to a lot ofconnections. Make sure these are real connections and that your connectionrequests aren’t spam. If everyone else at the company is connected tothe point person, they act like a “doorway” with great connections foreveryone else.At InsideSales.com, I am the point person. Within my professional networkon LinkedIn, I am connected to over 3,100 people. Through me, all of mysales reps have the potential to connect to far more people.Beware: If headhunters and recruiters connect with your point person,they have access to all of your people. Connect with caution!Who’s Viewed Your Profile?Your LinkedIn Network63,101Your profile has been viewed by 6 people in the pastday.44You have shwon up in search results 44 times in thepast day.Connections link you to 14,680,285 professionals20,395New people in your Network sinceOctober 2Add ConnectionsInsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:

Our salespeople are asked to connect to their prospectsright after the first contact attempt.Do they always do it? The smart ones do. They understand that byasking to become connected on LinkedIn it increases the rate of building arelationship and rapport.How ToYou can search by keyword to find prospects.

21Respond by emailthen connectPeople always ask, “How do you build your connections?” Personally I usethe technique, “respond by email and then connect.” This method is a greatway to make connections with interesting and valuable people.How ToWhenever you receive an email from someone you think would be a valuableconnection, simply respond by email and mention in the email that you willbe connecting by LinkedIn. In your connection request remind them youjust emailed them. LinkedIn penalizes you if you try to connect to too manypeople who reject you because they don’t know or don’t remember whoyou are.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:
22Connect atTrade showsMy favorite task after going to atrade show is to take all of the newbusiness cards given to me andconnect on LinkedIn.When you send the request toconnect, remind them of the“common experience” you hadtogether at the trade show so theyremember and don’t reject you.Best PracticeWe have a rule at InsideSales.comthat we will never go to a tradeshow unless we are sure that wecan set enough appointmentsbefore the show even happens topay for the show.Before we went to one of our biggestshows, Dreamforce (a Salesforce show) last year, we already hadover 700 appointments for demosat the show. This year it wasover 1,000.InsideSales.com Sales for LifeRemind aboutCommonExperienceShare this eBook:
23 GroupsJoin IndustryI strongly suggest that sales reps join industry LinkedIn groups. Why?Because the days of lunch networking groups are gone. A great group onLinkedIn for those in the inside sales industry is “Inside Sales Experts.” Thegroup was created by Trish Bertuzzi, the Founder and CEO of The BridgeGroup, Inc. in Boston.When I first joined the group, there were 8,000 members. I recently checkedand there are now over 20,000 members. I don’t know anywhere else onthe planet where that many inside sales professionals congregate. Over theyears I have now met hundreds of them and I count them as friends. I didthis by getting involved in their discussions.Trish BertuzziInsideSales.com Sales for LifeShare this eBook:

39AskForRecommendationsJust as you should give recommendations, you should also ask forrecommendations from co-workers, colleagues, and former employers.Once you have lots of honest and frank recommendations, I like to move toasking for recommendations from customers.How ToIt works best when you ask for recommendations early in the process asa measure of how well you do.
