LinkedIn + Lead Generation In 60 Minutes A Week
Goal: Create new business opportunities through LinkedIn Commitment:
Use LinkedIn every workday for 10 or 15 minutes a day for 30 days
Assumptions: — Your profile is complete, as close to 100% as possible and is optimized to increase the chances of being found. You will make the time and spend 60 minutes in LinkedIn.
1. Create a LinkedIn strategy; stick with it for 30 days.
2. Decide who you will connect with; make sure you are networking in person to continually add to your LinkedIn network.
3. Join industry groups for ongoing knowledge and research; join the groups your prospects and clients participate in.
4. Take a look at your Alumni Page; see how you can leverage your network.
5. Listen and add value to the group discussions. Answer questions and link to valuable information to further the discussion. Consider answering some questions privately, it works.
6. Post status updates 2-‐3 a week initially; up to five for more active users. These updates can be articles, blog posts, videos that your network will find interesting and relevant. LinkedIn Today is a great go-‐to source; customize LinkedIn Today by following the industries and sources you are interested in following.
7. Post your updates to your groups; include a question to start a new discussion.
8. Answer a question in the Questions area. Drill down and find the questions you want to answer to demonstrate your expertise.
9. Make sure you show up on and follow your company’s Company Page. Since you are now able to post updates from your company page you will receive these updates; consider sharing them with your network. [p.s. that counts toward your weekly updates.]
10. Follow the companies you work with, would like to work with and are competitive with.
