LinkedIn: A powerful B2B networking tool
The ultimate goal of any organisation, whether small or big, is to generate more business leads than their competitors. However, not many business owners have the slightest idea of how and where to begin their online lead generation process.
One of the best social media platforms to get business leads is LinkedIn. However, it remains mostly unexplored. This is due to a confusion of how to make it part of a marketing strategy and misconceptions about the platform.
For example, many small businesses think that this platform is too small or has no regular users. In reality, LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network. It has nearly 690+ million users in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. The platform boasts more than 50 million company/business profiles. Professionals are joining the network at a rate of more than three new members per second.
If you are not using LinkedIn, you are losing a considerable amount of business to your competitors.
So, how do you get more leads into your sales funnel using this platform?
Here are a few tips that can help.

Start by Optimising Your Profile
LinkedIn is a professional social media network where your profile essentially represents your brand. So, the first thing you need to do is to check and optimise your profile.
A critical aspect of your profile is to appear on the Web and LinkedIn search results. In other words, you need to consider including the most relevant and useful keywords in your profile information.
Of course, no one is asking you to stuff your profile with keywords. For example, if you are a digital marketing agency or digital marketing services in your profile naturally.
As this is a hangout place for professionals, you can think of using industry specific or even technical terms as keywords. Adding the location can also help you show up in local searches, especially if your services are locally available. So, “lead generation service” becomes “lead generation service in London.”
You also need to take care of the basics, including your profile photo, headline, and URL. Use a high-quality professional headshot and customise the URL by using your complete name if necessary.
Make sure to add the most critical keywords naturally in your headline. You also need to be sure that your LinkedIn profile is consistent with all your social media profiles.
Finally, be sure to update any information related to your company or professional life regularly.

Create Your LinkedIn Lead Generation List
Simultaneously, you also need to start building your LinkedIn lead generation list in your niche market. However, first, you need to decide what you want your prospects to do. Naturally, you want them to buy your product or services in the end.
But, what is the first step you would like them to take after they have engaged with your content?

- Call your sales team.
- Download a brochure.
Depending on the answers to these questions, your LinkedIn lead generation goal will change. This, in turn, will define which contacts you can include as prospects in your list. Once you have established your goals, the next step is to discover the potential leads.
If you opt for a sales navigator account. (a paid service from LinkedIn).
Searches for prospects becomes easy.
You can use the “search for people with filters” feature to create a list of your potential leads. You can find the leads based on various filters. This includes location, past and current companies, keywords, connections, schools, and non-profit interests, among others.
After you have made a list, you can start reaching out to your potential leads. It is best to connect with a personal message to each contact. You will need to get creative as there is a 300-character limit to write your message.
