Hello[PRÉNOM] ,
I saw you working at[NOM DE L’ENTREPRISE] . I really love what you do ! Let’s connect so I can tell you more about our solutions.
Because this type of approach is very widespread … everyone uses the same variants and complained then that the automating prospecting on LinkedIn does NOT work.
So if you want to stay at light years from your competition , you need to focus more on strategies Communication efficient to find your target audience and use the right tools of the trade as well as best templates to convert where others fail!
This guide will teach you how to achieve an acceptance rate of up to up to 80% with some campaigns LinkedIn highly personalized thanks to this multichannel strategy effective and original .
This growth strategy on LinkedIn is to retrieve your audience’s Facebook groups target , to transform them into LinkedIn profiles and allow you to get in touch with them using LeadIn . Rather unconventional isn’t it? The results will be just as much!
In order for all of this to make sense, I need to give you a bit of context.
In fact, let me first tell you a history …
It’s been two years since I started my lead generation agency services on LinkedIn. First in a microenterprise, then under the LeadIn SAS structure.
Almost all the tools were Chrome extensions and they didn’t particularly meet my needs as a agency owner .
I had to run my laptop Round the clock and 7 days on 7 for the tool to work.
I had to create some detailed reports (for each LinkedIn account!).
I had to manage the LinkedIn inbox natively through their system (which was a real nightmare ).
So much for the automating !
Many tools were not not very sure and LinkedIn was always quick to detect too…
It was too time consuming . It was supposed to automate some tasks, but ended up spending more time managing everything.
So some time later and the agency growing, we ended up investing in our own tool, designed to sellers , the digital agencies , the growth hackers , and the people managing multiple LinkedIn accounts .
And yes, this tool is LeadIn .
If I am telling this story, it is because it is directly linked to the first stage of this growth-hack .
You see, in this guide I am going to address the audience of Dux-Soup (an indirect competitor). And like I have been personally a Dux-Soup user in the past, I know all too well their difficulties .
This is why I was able to create a comparison page who I know will talk to their users on the key points .
By the way, that works whatever the group! Take a facebook group in which is your target audience , scrape it using Phantombuster and contact him using LeadIn . It is a simple and cost effective way to find your target audience on LinkedIn, knowing already what interests him .
The Facebook groups are a place ideal to find your target audience and observe their behaviour . Every marketer knows that hearings initiated on Facebook can be found in specific groups . Because the people in a group are much more interested by a subject specific than the “interest targeting” that Facebook shows you in its ad manager …
First, we need to find a Facebook group of our target audience.
For the sake of the example, I will focus on the Dux-Soup user group on Facebook .
Step 1: Use Phantombuster to retrieve the names of Facebook group members.
Once you have a group in mind, you register and install the Phantombuster extension. Then you go to the appropriate API, in this case it’s “ Facebook Group Extractor “.
For extract audience from Facebook group , the steps are as follows:
Step 2: Find their LinkedIn profiles
Once you have obtained a list of names of the Facebook group, you must find their LinkedIn profiles.
Here’s how to do it:
Create a new spreadsheet with Google Drive.
Step 3: Use LeadIn to contact them
LeadIn is one of the most secure automation tools and unique for a comprehensive omni-channel approach . To get in touch with your target audience, you need to import your CSV sheet LinkedIn profiles in LeadIn .
Here is how to do it:
Now all you have to do is configure your communication campaign in LeadIn .
Here’s how to do it:
Write the content (in the body part) of your connection request, your follow-up messages, your InMails or your E-mails.
Note: think about it rework the data in your CSV document so that the prospects involved in your sequences have no suspicion of the automated approach (accents, 1 time uppercase letter, company names, etc.)!
Bonus: if you haven’t, or are running other types of campaigns LeadIn, it can be time consuming and less easy for non-followers to go through the CSV step to rework your data . You can do it directly from LeadIn, in the prospect tab , by selecting your campaign and clicking on “ Edit Leads “. The ideal option for make life easier
