LinkedIn is one of the best places to find prospects and generate leads. But what you don’t want to do is send invites to connect and then follow up with “product pushing” sales messages.
We have a different approach and we will take you step-by-step through it in our webinar recording “How to Find Prospects and Generate Leads on LinkedIn”. In this webinar, we will discuss:
– Using the LinkedIn search capabilities
– Building a good message
– Getting email addresses
– Reaching out
– Navigating organizations
– And more!

9. Some Things to Consider
• Inviting to connect makes directly approach a little more delicate
• If you do connect and then email, delay the email and try to not be too
pitchy
• Becoming connections does create passive prospecting opportunity
• You don’t need to establish connection in order to email
• It will usually take more than one message and type communication method
