LinkedIn Business Page Management and B2B Lead Generation
Cold calling is the selling of yesterday. Building client relationships on LinkedIn is a vital part on any sales strategy if you are looking to build your business-to-business revenue.
LinkedIn has proven to be an effective tool to communicate and get meetings with Key stake holders in big corporates. This one-on-one interaction helps to bypass the gate keepers like the secretarial staff and marketing managers.
LinkedIn is a great platform to build your sales pipeline and do on-going marketing to your network. With good value-added content you can drive leads to your owned media platforms and keep engaging with them long after the first communication.
