Seems like the limits keep on piling up - now you can only add 100 prospects a week.
How is this impacting your sales approach?
Any ninja workarounds?

Is LinkedIn dead?
29
Was it ever really alive?
damn right
I came here to say this. Like always, funcoupons killing the WR game lol
We saw some wins in the past - at least on an attention angle.
Attention? What's that? Sounds like marketing ;)
I've had a lot of success over LinkedIn tbh
What is this magic you speak of?
Am I dead?
It's like I'm in a hell loop of "is this dead or is that dead" questions.

Yes a bit of overkill lately*
* pun intended

Are puns dead btw?
Don't make me sic @funcoupons on you.
Reporting for duty...do I have to verbally abuse someone this early in the morning?
you guys are right lol but legitimate ?
NEVER
Millennials killed the word dead.
Damn millennials!! *shakes fist at sky*

hahahaha brilliant. Millenial indeed.
Best workaround ever, it's called FUCK LINKEDIN COLD CALL THEM.
deal!
that's just LinkedIn friendly suggesting the pro version
sounds about right lol
the useless pro monthly paid version
It's like over swiping on Tinder, they know you need it now so you're an easy up-sell based on their algorithms on use.
yup, pay up or your adds are up lol
Haha 😅
Never booked a meeting through LinkedIn. All my girl teammates crushed the game tho. Dont hate the player hate the game
word!
100 a week? This does
look like a red flag; this might scare off the average user who just uses LI to
find jobs. This means that on average a BDR can target 20 prospects a day,
which could be beneficial, however if each prospect is getting hit by more BDRs
their response and acceptance rate may drop to the floor.
This is the time to use creativity and personalize everything to stand out as much as possible.

that makes sense! Considering video?
I have done some videos in the past with little success,
considering it's more time consuming than other methods I've stopped using it
for a while. Do you have any experience with video?
yes but prefer audio notes
Who has your success with audio notes been?
about 10x what video produces
Less reachouts to the people you try to reach sound good actually
For sure @GDO That might be the way to go!
Idk for me it's been a hit and miss with social media. Like to be entirely honest, I hate having to put work into it and never see true results. I may have booked maybe 2 or 3 meetings through LI and none of them were SQLs.
And I get that with LI is the long game so, for me to see any results I have to consistent, just like everything else. HEAVY EYE ROLL being expressed right now, lmao.

you're 100% right!
it's a fun toy but it's often hard to sell on
true that!
Idk if we should be sending a connect invite to every prospect every time their lead comes through the sequence. Follows, comments, and other things could work just as good.
no you should not - gives out your intention immediately.
So my previous role used to be heavy on LinkedIn messaging. Like 800 custom messages/connection requests. After I left the job, they reduced the number to something like 300 and now it's 100.
I used to have a Russian automation software that would spoof the bot and had great results, now I don't think it's really worth it. For touch points on prospects you think have a high probability of converting, it's worth it, but cold outreach isn't very effective on LI anymore imo.

Thanks for sharing Gyro!

depending on what you want to achieve
Nope - it's great for recruiters if you're looking for a new position. Otherwise, that's about all it's good for.
hahaha facts!
As long as they keep scamming people thousands of dollars for their products, it'll be a half dead service we are forced to use.
100%
nah still pulling 50 60 sets a month from linked in as a company
Niceee!
LinkedIn blows now. I don’t even have notifications on anymore
LinkedIn is best for making personal connections- I’m a fan but cannot be the only platform used
It's still growing, looking forward to the next iteration though
But, but... where will I find Life/Business/Social Media Coaches?????
WHERE?????
WHERE?????

Not even close to dead, I still get at least 50% of my pipeline from LinkedIn.
Not for the financial advisors sliding in to my DM’s every day….
I closed a $500k deal that started with a LinkedIn connection/ conversation.
Cold call will always be priority #1 for me, but don’t hate the Link.
Best advice… depending on who you are targeting, connect with everyone you can at that company (starting at the lowest level). Always, and I mean ALWAYS request connection with a message. Make the message simple and familiar. No more than 3 lines and sign with your first name only (throw your signature out the window. Too formal).
Once you have a solid amount of connections at your targeted company, hone in on your targeted person(s). The likely hood of them connecting with you is much higher when they see you “know” tons of people at their company.
DO NOT pitch them right away. Thank them for their connection and let them know you will give them a call in a few days to “catch up”.
When you call, reference connecting on LI and mention something novel from their profile, to break the ice.
Using LI with cold calling is very beneficial.
I believe Quality Assurance to be beneficial, sometime reps are unaware of some of the mistakes they make in a call, pinpointing these mistakes and showing them how to overcome them is the path to success! That's how you ramp up a rep!
