5 Simple Ways To Generate Leads On LinkedIn

5 simple ways to generate leads on LinkedIn without any Investment.

Finding it difficult to generate leads for your business? How have you been doing it?

Buying it from any 3rd party or waiting for them to approach you? 

We all know that lead generation for any business is not an easy task but it’s not impossible at all. 

Lead generation is the main key for a business to sustain. 

But how to do it? From where you can find the highest- quality leads?

Well!! LinkedIn is the answer. 

LinkedIn is one of the best social media platforms for Professional Users.

You can find and connect the higher management profiles of the companies and the decision-makers directly via LinkedIn. 

Now, you don’t have to follow the hierarchy to reach the higher management instead you can directly connect them and offer your proposal. 

Most of the people fail to understand this platform and how to use it for their lead generation. They invest so much of their time and efforts but get nothing in return. That’s frustrating.

But here we are discussing this topic and will fix the problem whosoever is facing it.

Here are few ways to generate leads on LinkedIn:

1. Profile Optimization

The first thing that you should do before anything else. You may find this a very basic thing but profile optimization means a lot. 

Like for example, You are selling something, you have been trying to connect so many people and they start showing interest the way you are doing your marketing. They will enter your profile and it contains nothing related to what you are selling or it contains information which is not professional at all. Then either the lead will consider you as a fraud or will not find your product worth buying.

So, try to keep your profile as strong as possible. Like 

• Your genuine profile picture
• A cover picture that reflects your brand
• Your name
• The Profile title that describes you
• List all your Jobs with details
• And your position in the company
• The projects or jobs that you have accomplished until now.

Trust me!!! It means a lot while generating leads or creating a brand.

2. Target The HMPs i.e. Higher Management Profiles or The Decision Makers

LinkedIn is all about connecting to people and while generating leads, you should connect to HMPs or the decision-makers. Not every business has the CEO as the decision-maker. It depends on your type of business and what kind of leads you're looking for. You need to prospect before initiating the contact, then identify the needs, present your offer and that should be interesting because only your proposal will help you to close the deal, then manage any objection if any and then close the deal. Once your deal is closed and you have earned the trust, you can sell anything to your existing clients the way you want it to be.

3. Create Your Own LinkedIn Groups

The most powerful way to generate leads is to create your own LinkedIn groups. Create a group under your niche, start adding meaningful and powerful content so that the audience will automatically attract to the content and start following your group.

It's a bit time consuming but once it’s done, you are all set for generating leads for your business.

Start making connections with the members in the group list. Don’t get too excited while connecting. A normal text can help you to serve the purpose. Start getting engaged with the quality conversation with the members and once you think that the level is achieved then just close the deal.

This can consume your months and months to drive the desired results but it will give you powerful and permanent results.

4. Content Marketing

Let your audience know how strong your knowledge base is with your content. Publish posts on whatever you can write to share your ideas and knowledge base with your audience. Your original content is the only way to attract highest-quality leads and the audience who will start following because of your interesting and creative content, this will help you with personal branding and your audience will start having trust on you that if you can do it for yourself, then you will serve best to your clients.

5. Lead Generation via Cold Outreach

This way can either give you several leads or leave you with nothing in your hands.

To work on this, you will have to rethink your approach. Having email ids and sending them mass messages may get you a client but can kick you into their spam list folder. Then what should be the approach?

• First, you need to figure out what’s your goal? What’s your purpose of generating leads?
• Conduct a more focused search on LinkedIn and make a list of those who can be your lead and beneficial for your business to reach and connect.
• If you are not satisfied with your search results then you can use the ‘search for people with filters’ option for more filtered results like filter by connections, connections of, keywords, locations, current company, past company, industries, profile language, non-profit, schools.
• Initiate the contact by sending them a ‘connect’ request and a personalised message from your end. Don’t send the same typical generic message. Craft and send something that would help you to connect with your new connection.
• Don’t try to sell anything on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a platform to build meaningful relations and not to sell anything. If you will try to sell something then you will lose your quality connection.

LinkedIn is undoubtedly a crown winning social media platform for professionals.

Practising lead generation on LinkedIn can give you amazing results but it’s very time consuming and requires consistent hard-work. You just need to have some patience to derive desired results from Linkedin but once you will achieve that good level with your constant efforts and strategy then you will end up having paying clients.
