How to get started
![Page 7: Using LinkedIn For Lead Generation - ThomasNet RPM Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58a262271a28abb92b8b599d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Start with your client’s LinkedIn GroupsIn the event that your client isn’t in any groups you can find some to join in the search bar, under the Discover tab once you click the groups section of your menu or at: https://www.linkedin.com/directory/groups
![Page 8: Using LinkedIn For Lead Generation - ThomasNet RPM Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58a262271a28abb92b8b599d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
You can also use past leads profilesLeverage the groups section of past leads profiles to find new groups to join (you can also check out their coworkers profiles).

4-5 GroupsJoin a minimum of 4-5 groups a month to avoid saturation.

Telling people to join in the conversion works

The clicks come from the conversations

And sometimes, you strike gold

You only need to post once a week, per group…Just rotate the day of the week you post. 12:00PM - 7:00PM work best.
![Page 14: Using LinkedIn For Lead Generation - ThomasNet RPM Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58a262271a28abb92b8b599d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Some rules to follow...
![Page 15: Using LinkedIn For Lead Generation - ThomasNet RPM Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58a262271a28abb92b8b599d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Prep before posting!
1.Check group rules
2.Create an excel list for groups w/ special post requirements
3.Get a feel for what’s been posted in the past

And sometimes, the post doesn’t need a link
![Page 17: Using LinkedIn For Lead Generation - ThomasNet RPM Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58a262271a28abb92b8b599d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Don’t forget to leverage profiles!
![Page 18: Using LinkedIn For Lead Generation - ThomasNet RPM Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58a262271a28abb92b8b599d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Your client’s profile is not a resumeIt is a landing page. It’s a library of insights.
Having different media assets such as repurposed blog articles, slideshares that highlight specific products or services, and videos help to engage the profile visitor and have them become a site visitor.
![Page 19: Using LinkedIn For Lead Generation - ThomasNet RPM Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58a262271a28abb92b8b599d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
There is also power in the SummaryYour goal is to build curiosity by:
- Naming the persona’s challenge(s). Show that your client is aware of their pain points.- Share how you work with your clients.- Create a CTA - “Set up a call”, “Feel free to message me”, “Visit my team’s site”, or
“Request a Quote.”
Things not to do:
- Promote the client’s company. The profile visitor only cares about themselves.- Have long copy. The summary shouldn’t be more than 100 words.

And you can create CTAs using the Projects section

Then there’s Connection Outreach

This strategy leads to new conversion opportunities

Search & Second Connections
In advanced search you can find all of your client’s second connections and segment them by company, industry, and more (this gives precedent for a premium account).

InMail MessagesYou only need to connect with 10 people a week.
The quality of the message is what’s most important.
“I’m connecting with you because…
- I saw we have similar connections…”
- We’re in the same industry…”
- I wanted to learn more about what you do for your team…”

Some things to
remember...
1.Social Media is about being social, don’t just post. Comment on other posts!
2.Clicks don’t happen if you’re focusing solely on that. Go for comments and shares.
3.LinkedIn’s power is all in the ability to search the employees of any company.
