Navigating LinkedIn will guide you thru the new world of LinkedIn, where LinkedIn.com takes on a new look and sheds popular features while LinkedIn Sales Navigator gets a major boost, adding some long awaited features.
Revenue producers will need to make major changes in what they do and how they do it. This presentation will help them get a competitive advantage in this time of big change with LinkedIn.
The goal is to help revenue producers get an understanding of the new LinkedIn.com for 2017, with big changes in profiles and searching. It covers the enhancements to LinkedIn Sales Navigator, also around searching and it explains where the two platforms fit in with one another.
Finally, it presents an integrated approach to working with LinkedIn going forward.
This presentation assumes you already know a bit about LinkedIn. You’ve been on LinkedIn in the last 30 days, maybe in the last day or two, maybe you have a LinkedIn window open all the time.
You understand about profiles, searches and have noticed that LinkedIn has menus.
You’re an executive, you’re in management, you’re a individual revenue producer, you work with outside organizations in a channels role. You care about sales performance. If you sell more, you make more money. This presentation is for you.
For 2017, LinkedIn has new bends and twists that you must be aware of. This big of a change only happens every so often. This is the biggest transformation ever for LinkedIn.
By understanding the new LinkedIn landscape, you can move past the competition and get an early mover advantage with a platform you already know and use.
There is no option, this new landscape will be your user experience. There’s no holding on, there’s no going back. You can’t just keep on using Outlook 2010 because you don’t like Outlook 2017. LinkedIn doesn’t work that way.
LinkedIn is first and foremost a Platform. People go there, spend time there, interact with it. LinkedIn does not install on your laptop, there is no firewall, few security settings. Peel the onion back and LinkedIn is actually 3 related platforms, each optimized to a different type of user.
Look a little deeper and you even find different versions within each of these platforms, especially on the paying side, where extra features come at a price.
LinkedIn.com is the general purpose platform, much like Microsoft Word. Extremely versatile, focused on the user experience.
Sales Navigator is more like Excel, focused more on the numbers than the user experience.
LinkedIn Recruiter is more like PowerPoint where people are looking to get noticed.
LinkedIn is big and bright and new for 2017.
LinkedIn is having its biggest changes ever happening in 2017. Coming off the Microsoft acquisition, we an expect even more.
The biggest change is to the LinkedIn.com platform we know so well.
The Sales Navigator platform gets some enhancements, including some that are deleted from LinkedIn.com 2017
The slick look of the LinkedIn app supplants the familiar menu-driven look of the LinkedIn.com.
Will Sales Navigator see a similar transformation to their mobile interface?
So why would LinkedIn come out with such a radical change to its core product? Haven’t we seen this before?
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” simply does not apply to social media. It’s always breaking down stereotypes.
LinkedIn is chasing a younger audience that is simply more mobile and having a single interface for both has its advantages.
No doubt about it, the New LinkedIn.com is a lot more like the Facebook than ever before.
LinkedIn is big and bright and new for 2017. It’s sleek and its gone on a diet.
As a result serious users will migrating much of their activity from LinkedIn.com (and their free or paid accounts) to Sales Navigator where there are only paid accounts. LinkedIn is offering a free 3 month trial to many users.
Still, LinkedIn.com 2017 is a given for everyone. You can’t ONLY be a Sales Navigator user.
It’s still used for lots of important things, even if Sales Navigator is where you spend most of your time.
Profiles and company pages are all managed from LinkedIn.com and this will always be the case.
LinkedIn Groups happen here - joining, participating, reaching out
Your LinkedIn settings happen here for the most part, your security, references, emails.
Sales Navigator has a very specific role for 2017, especially for those in sales and marketing roles.
It becomes even MORE of a companion to your CRM system.
There is a some support for Salesforce.com.
The ultra-targeting of Sales Navigator is a natural for hunting activities.
Use the Lead Builder searches to find new people and companies. Save them as a lead and tag them like you would in a CRM.
Find specific people or companies, look deep and wide into them with the extra sales hooks
The Insights feature shows invaluable Trigger Events concerning your targets directly.
There are few, if any limits to your sending activity, other than the number of InMails you can send.
The new profile looks pretty slick. It’s much easier to read, faster to get around in.
Your contact into is moved.
The summary is compressed.
The experience area is merged, with no Current or Past companies
Your activity appears in Prime Time, with quick access to your posts.
Recommendations are centralized at the bottom and only 2 show on the profile. The rest are behind a “See More” link.
Skills and endorsements are trimmed down.
Adjustments to the background image might be needed.
A profile looks a little different on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and on mobile. It’s the same data, just presented a little differently. Just as you might expect.
Sales Navigator is basically about 3 things
Lead Builder to search for the best possible prospects using a range of new filters.
Accounts to target specific companies
Leads are individuals at these companies, plus some that may not be associated with any company.
You can use Lead Builder to find BOTH.
The biggest use of Sales Navigator is hunting for new leads.
Target profiles are best when viewed in Sales Navigator, whereas, in LinkedIn.com, details are hidden behind See More links that make it more time consuming.
Find and engage other potential entry points at target companies. Sales Navigator identified others at the same level in the same organization or you.
Lead lists not only show you people you have saved as a lead but a list of “similar” people at OTHER companies.
Find a great target, view their profile and notice a list of similar people next to them off to the right.
Accounts can be targeted and LinkedIn will help you find the decision makers.
Then someone is saved as a lead, their employer is automatically saves as an Account as well. When there is an option you can choose whichever employer you like or you can choose NONE.
Leads are individuals. They might have been found using ant of a number of methods.
They may have been caught in a Lead Builder search, where they can be saved as a lead right from the list.
They may have been saved as a lead from their profile.
Leads can be filtered even more using the left panel.
Lead builder has a tremendous variety of filters.
Some of them are more useful than others.
Profiles are now a goldmine, especially when working with larger companies where multiple entry points are especially handy.
The matchups of similar job levels is astounding.
It’s easy to hop around and get back to where you were.
LinkedIn made big changes with tags. LinkedIn.com 2017 loses its tags and Sales Navigator adds them. It is one of the biggest reasons for the expected mas user migration.
Tags are simple drop downs and you can set multiple tags, one after another.
Then you can Filter on the tags and see a list.
Searching is one area that has had the most development going into 2017.
There is big news with both LinkedIn.com AND Sales Navigator.
Notice all the EXTRA search filters you get with Sales Navigator vs. LinkedIn.com.
This “gap” has grown in recent months as search features were deleted from the new LinkedIn.com 2017 and added to Sales Navigator.
Let’s explore the changes in LinkedIn.com for 2017.
The familiar Advanced Search is gone, or at least it changed and reduced a bit in functionality.
Searches are similar to Facebook and Google with ONE main search box to begin the process.
Users will generally put in keywords to start it off.
Some might use this general use field for a name if they they are looking for someone specific.
The initial results are shown in TABS across the top as they are in other programs like Gmail.
THEN users can add filters like location, industry, relationship
LinkedIn.com 2017 has also SHED some really useful features like zip code, company size and first/last name
Searching with Sales Navigator is more involved and WAY more powerful.
It starts with the Lead Builder link.
This is similar to the Advanced search link in the old Linkedin.com
So, just where does a sales rep get started if they ant to effectively adopt Sales Navigator into their sales routine?
There are some simple things you can do to take action.
Get your searches down in Lead Builder
Get your message templates together for invitation and post-connection messages
Get a tagging system together to keep rack of your activity
Then, you get in launch mode
Save your top 10 accounts in Lead Builder
Try and identify 5 entry points into each target company.
Save them as a Lead, perhaps add a tag.
Use the rich tools on Sales Navigator to find ways to engage them with invites, messages, likes, comments
