How to Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to Generate Leads (LinkedIn Marketing)

Today i'm going to show you   a more detailed strategy of how to use linkedin  sales navigator for your lead generation strategy   using this video you'll be able to compile a  list of thousands of high ticket leads in your   chosen industry for your business within minutes  and i'll also be breaking down how you can get   responses from business owners of multi-million  dollar companies business owners that probably   get pitched hundreds if not thousands of times per  month so i'm gonna show you how to stand out from   the masses so strap yourself in get comfortable  close all your tabs get a pen and paper and let's   go get you some high quality high ticket leads  using linkedin okay so the first thing we need   to do is log into our linkedin account if you  don't have one go over to linkedin.com 



linkedin   is a business to business social media platform  where you can network with other business owners   you can reach out and you can generate leads like  we're going to be going through today now on our   previous video i ran through how you can optimize  your profile we're going to very briefly cover   that right now just the main points so you can  ensure you get a high response rate when you're   actually reaching out to leads 


now of course at the top we have a cover   photo in our profile picture it's important that  these are as professional as possible uh showing   us in our natural element doing what we do best  at work next important area is our tagline so   here i've got owner of affluent.com so it says  exactly what businesses i own now if you're using   linkedin for lead generation i would recommend  you optimizing this to actually call out to the   specific person so let's say you're an advertising  agency that works with restaurants you could do   i help restaurants get more buns on seats using  paid ads okay so you can use that as your tagline   it's a really effective way to let people know  exactly what you do uh straight away 


 if we   scroll down we've got our about now this is really  important that this says exactly who you are what   you do again and everything on your page needs to  be congruent everything needs to be expressing the   same message okay you don't want to be calling out  to multiple people it needs to be clear who you   are and who you are trying to reach out to and  what exactly you do and how you can serve those   people okay uh my linkedin profile is actually  more of a it's a landing page where i can direct   people to all of our businesses and people want to  find out a little bit more about i do gone are the   days that i actually uh reach out to people on my  personal linkedin anymore we have team members who   do that themselves okay so you want to make sure  you've got all your relevant work experience 



  so we've got all the companies you don't need to  put every single company you've ever worked for   but only things that are relevant to what you're  doing right now of course your education but we're   going to scroll down and we've got skills here  this is where i think it starts to get important   now on linkedin you can you can mention which  skills you actually have in your industry and   from that people can endorse you 


 i would recommend you sending your profile to   your friends and family when you first create an  account and asking them to endorse you for skills   this just tells people that other people can  validate that you know or you can do what you're   saying you can do on your profile scroll down more  of the same we've got recommendations that's where   people can actually leave your reviews these  are actually just reviews from previous jobs   that i've had and also business development  director for an advertising company okay   but if you've got friends and family and you've  got previous colleagues they can give you reviews   send over your profile and ask them to create  recommendations for you so that very very quickly   is how you can optimize your profile 


Actually here for today is linkedin sales  navigator now sales navigator is an additional   platform within uh within linkedin okay now lit  sales navigator itself is built for people who   want to use linkedin as a sales-based platform  as a platform to reach out to potential customers   and pitch them on their product or service now i'm  going to go over to the payment plans of or or the   payment options the pricing plan sorry of linkedin  sales navigator first just to highlight the things   that you may or may not need now you can sign up  by annual or monthly and you might be looking at   this right now thinking oh well that's that's  not that cheap jordan 99 per month but you   only need to get one client from linkedin sales  navigator over the course of an entire month to   get a return on investment on this it really is  a drop in the ocean and you'll see how powerful   this is now i used to use linkedin sales navigator  every single day day in day out in fact i'll go   over to this camera uh when i was in my first ever  sales job in my first ever sales job my job was to   call 100 people per day every single day massive  conglomerate business owners from the middle east   in the construction industry now i managed to  get hold of the ceo of universal studios right   i managed to speak to huge samsung engineering  at c-level executives i managed to speak to   kbr which is a huge oil and gas company so  i networked with some very large affluent   business owners who i wouldn't normally  be able to get hold of if it wasn't for   linkedin sales navigator linkedin sales navigator  was made my main source of leads


 when i was in   that company it was one of the main reasons  that i was able to get to top three people   in that company in their sales team within  my first three months of starting there and   i had no sales experience beforehand this is my  secret weapon so i want to show you this today now   the only membership you need is core by the way  guys i'm speaking really fast i want to get loads   of stuff out for you guys so if i'm speaking too  fast i would apologize but i don't care right   it's what i do it's the way i speak i can't  change it i've tried so just press the speed   and go back on like 0.5 speed and just watch  me in slower time cool now core is what you   would need okay one user per month you only  really need core if you're using it let's say   any normal business um who is who's generating  leads trying to sell a product or service advanced   there is like some extra functionality and i'd  recommend checking it out like if you're really   using this to reach out to thousands and thousands  of different people uh but to be honest with you   i think most people for the majority of people  are core and i've always just used course so   sign up to call you can do annual or monthly  obviously it's a bit cheaper you're going to   save them 25 


if you go on annual right let's  go back so to access linkedin sales navigator   when we've actually signed up we go top right  corner and it's going to take us through to the   sales navigator dashboard this is a completely  clean account uh i only recently signed up to   sales network so again as i said we don't use  this profile for for outreach anymore uh so   we're taking straight through to the dashboard on  here we have all of our alerts so if we have set   reminders about certain leads or there's any kind  of notification that we've got on sales navigator   it's going to cover come up in this area on  the right hand side these are accounts that   we've chosen to follow accounts are actually  just businesses as opposed to individuals and   then at the top we have our main navigation  so we have accounts so these are businesses   we're following we've got lead lists we've got  messaging and then we've got our admin profile   we're going to go over to home which is where we  are right now and on search we're going to search   for uh some leads okay we're going to search  for some potential customers so let's say uh   we'll go with what we've got here because i was  preparing some stuff earlier we will say we're   an advertising agency and we're looking to reach  out to furniture stores okay now if we uh we can   search a number of different things here we can  search keywords for example so we can do furniture store owner okay and then we could hit search   and this is going to bring up a search  of every person that has the keyword   furniture store owner on their bio 


 we should have pretty 270 or 000 people here   okay now if i go back here we don't just have  to do keywords we could just go on lead filters right and here we are have got a whole bunch of  different filters that we can use to actually   search for people so we can search keywords as  we've just highlighted and i'm going to give you   a a hack for keywords shortly um we can highlight  via spotlight so whether they've changed their job   recently whether they've shared an experience  with us whether they're posted on linkedin now   this is all relevant to different businesses  okay now some of you might own a company where   uh a recruitment agency where you want to reach  out to people change jobs recently so you can   poach them because they're somebody that naturally  jumps from job to job maybe okay so i'd recommend   having a look at all of these i'm gonna highlight  some of the main ones for you of course geography   is where they are actually based 



 so let's  say we only wanted to reach out to people in the   united kingdom if we're a uk-based ad agency  that only wants to work with people in the uk   we can reach out to people who already have  connections with us maybe they're more likely   to actually respond to our  messages we've got industry   school they went to not so relevant profile  language this is quite important okay if you're   an english agency you don't want to be running  ads for an arabic company for example who because   you're not gonna be able to write ads in arabic  right uh first name last name seniority level   this is an important one so here we can make sure  that we're only reaching out to either owners of   a business or c level of a business or directors  of a business now what i often find on linkedin   is sometimes the owner of the business just marks  themselves as a director


 sometimes it's an owner   sometimes it's a partner um it really does depend  on the structure of a company so i would recommend   doing owner cxo level so there's a ceo ceo anyone  with a kind of a chief on at the start of their um   their title and director okay so these  are people and he's going to be the   uh the correct seniority level is going to be  people that actually can make decisions years   in current positions so that's relevant to you  years at the company okay um the actual job title   okay so this could be a good one so you might not  want to do cx direct or owner you could just do   and type in managing director in here okay and  you could just filter people by managing director   if we go down to company okay we've got a  company name we've got company headcount this   is especially important if you're an advertising  agency right when you're first starting out we   don't want to be reaching out to companies that  have got tons and tons of employees so we're   gonna want to filter that by one to ten okay  these aren't gonna be massive companies okay   company type past company uh became a member so  on so on okay this stuff isn't really so relevant   so let's just type in okay so here we're  actually going to be if i do furniture   we're going to be searching keyword furniture  in the united kingdom english speaking   c-level executive or director 1-10 head count  let's search so if we're a uk based agency   here are a whole bunch of different businesses in  the uk and we've got the managing director we've   got the co-director we've got the director we've  got director we've got owner we've got co-founder   we've got owner we've got all these leads right we  can filter through these and all we need to do to   add these to our list is hit save okay it's hit  save and we can hit save okay we're saving to a   default list here but we could create our own list  so let's say we want this to be furniture leads uk  


 we put subscription as well okay and we can  go and we can save them under furniture leads owner owner we can go check out their profiles  as well so if we just do a little bit of   um just checking this out to do a little bit of  digging so if we go on to here and we've got an   overview of that we can actually just it breaks  down the information a little more differently   on sales navigator just so i think so you can see  more relevant information at the top of the screen   look at that profile co-director chief officer  officer designer probably not suitable if i was an   ads agency probably not going to be the decision  maker in which case i can just get rid of this   person from my list cool let's go back to where  we were and we can just scroll down and so on cool   so that is an ordinary um filtered based search  on sales navigator but what i want to show you   right now is a trick that people who are in the  know use to filter their lists a lot better okay   um in fact let me just go back to where we just  were so we were furniture we were united kingdom and we were doing seniority level owner we'll  keep it on owner uh and okay and we're gonna do uh we'll keep it there okay fine and we we did  have language english but i'm gonna leave that for   now now what i want to show you is what's called  an and or not filter or boolean filter boolean   filter however you pronounce it right now this is  a way that we can filter down on linkedin searches   in even more detail okay so what we can do here is  we can exclude certain keywords from the list okay   so we can exclude not just uh we can let's say we  wanted to reach out to furniture companies in the   united kingdom but we didn't want to reach out  to garden furniture companies we could create a   special filter using tags okay this looks a little  bit like algebra so we could have for example uh furniture not garden okay so we want the keyword furniture uh not garden and this is gonna search for  furniture companies so now we're gonna get a   big list of leads that are just normal furniture  companies and they don't do garden furniture if   for whatever reason we didn't want to reach out  to garden furniture if we did want to reach out   to garden furniture okay but maybe they we didn't  want garden companies that sell furniture so this   might be uh companies that sell plants for  example you will see on the flip side here   the kind of leads that are coming through garden  not furniture so these are all garden companies   and there's garden lights there's uh uh trees and  gardens in the case there's all companies that   have garden in their keywords but they don't  sell furniture so we can filter through these now   we can filter through this in even more  detail okay so what we could do for example is   we could do let's say we wanted sofas or table  and but we don't want anything from the kitchen   okay so this isn't more and we've got to close  these brackets okay remember algebra and score   right and if we search this right now this  is going to be companies let's make sure   them tags okay this is going to be companies  that sell sofas but they don't have anything   from the kitchen okay so these are probably  all different they've got table company here   uh we've got tableweight company um table  suite but actually these we might find that   table actually isn't correct so it needs to be  because it could be any kind of table right this   kind of company might not be


this is tech  stamina round table okay so what we probably   need to have here is and tables so we do sofa and  table then we can almost guarantee that they are   furniture-based companies here okay so now we are  making sure that these companies are a lot more   fine furniture upholstery and so on and so forth  so guys i really would recommend you using this   this is going to enable you to stop having to  filter through your lead so much enables you to   get rid of leads that aren't relevant to you and  it enables you to make sure that you're going for   the perfect customer every single time and that  way when you're going through this lead list   you're not gonna have to filter through and waste  a bunch of time so use the boolean or boolean   strategy okay this is something i use so much when  i was in my sales place roles and it saved me so   much time okay so let's say we've started to  build that list together right let me just go   full screen and we go on to lists and we've got  our list here furniture store leads and we go over   and we've got john elmer right what i want to do  is i'm going to i can go on his profile and just   check okay is this guy correct for me is he right  um i can go ahead and i can connect with him i can   send him a connect request which i would recommend  you doing if you want to reach out to john   but we can also just send him a message straight  away now with linkedin sales navigator you   actually get access to 95 in mail credits now an  inmail is simply a message that bypasses the need   to connect with people now normally on linkedin  what you have to do is when you uh want to send   somebody a message you have to connect with them  and they have to accept your connection request   before you can actually send them a message right  but what linkedin sales navigator allows you to do   is bypass the need to have to connect with  someone and instead we can jump straight into   their inbox because we're paid for the privilege  bitcrafty really so let's say we wanted to send   john a message of course we would normally try  and connect with him but 


i don't want to reach   out to john so i'm not going to we can have the  subject line something like quick question for   let's say huddle furniture okay okay so this  is the kind of subject line which is going to   get a response but it could be just a quick  one or it could be i've got a question for   you or it could be um i've wondered this  okay just something creative something   short snappy and non-salesy absolutely non-salesy  never want to have like some you need my service   in the subject line okay i'm just going to delete  that message straight away right you'd be shocked   how many messages i have in my linkedin right  now people pitching me every single day tens   and tens and tens of people i ignore all of them  unless i see one which kind of strikes my interest   so um let's go through a simple way of getting  a response from john see if i can zoom into this   a little bit more so you can see this okay so  i'll say hi john always start with addressing   the name it's always good to do and the first  thing we're gonna do in every bit of outreach   as you guys will have seen from any outreach  


we need to   personalize it okay we need to have some kind of  personalization here so let's go on this business   huddle furniture and let's find something we  can do let's find something we can mention   uh about huddle furniture right okay they've got  quite a cool website and what i'm trying to look   for here is something different maybe they've  got a they got a case study okay they've got   a case if they've got a blog it's quite a nice  thing to look at um what have they done here um   okay they're doing a lot of school work fine  right that's something unique i could say to john absolutely oh my god excuse my spelling guys love the work  you guys are doing with schools okay so we've   got our personalization it's key when we put  personalization that this can only be said to   this individual you do not want to say something  which can be said to anyone okay like i love your   website it's not a good personalization you  could copy and paste that to loads of people   john knows when he says i love the work that  you guys are doing with schools he knows that   i've done my research on this company and i could  have only said this to him now what we would then   put here is our pitch okay so our pitch is going  to look something like um i help x do x through x   okay i help furniture stores increase their  revenue using facebook ads okay whatever depends   on whatever your service is so we're going to do  that and then we're going to say are you available over the next few days for a 15-minute  chat
