LinkedIn’s Advanced & Saved Searches Will Fill Your Sales Pipeline Weekly

Brynne Tillman |

 

Imagine if every single week you received a list in your email of 10, 20 or 30 targeted decision makers and influencers that meet your prospecting criteria? Now imagine if you could leverage your shared connections to gain access to those stakeholders? What would your business look like?

Well, that is how many business development professionals are getting warm introductions that convert to phone calls on a consistent basis, and you can too.

Visit the advanced search page and peruse the filters to determine the keywords, titles, geographic location and industries represented in your buyers’ profiles.

Now for the magic… choose 2nd degree connection under the Relationship filter. Once you Search you will have a full list of the people that meet your criteria who share a connection with you. Scan through the list, and if the people match your ideal buyer persona SAVE the list. Weekly LinkedIn will send you all the new people that enter your network as a 2nd degree connection that meets your ideal prospect.

From the list, simply click the green hyperlink to identify who you know that knows your targeted buyer, choose one that you know well and ask for an introduction.

EXAMPLE:I hope this note finds you well. As you may know, I am leveraging LinkedIn to grow my network and noticed that you are connected to XXX at XXX. I was wondering if you would kindly provide an introduction for me. If you could copy us both in an email or LinkedIn message I can take it from there. To make it easier for you, I have included a short paragraph below that you are welcome to copy and paste.

Also, please feel free to look through my connections, I am happy to make introductions for you as well. Thanks so much! Brynne
