LinkedIn has long been the leader in professional social networking–boasting one of the highest net worth and most influential buyer networks on the Internet. But, how do you turn those statistics into sales?

Brian Carroll, my favorite B2B Lead Generation expert, gives us a 5 step crash course:

  1. Create a personally branded profile
  2. Join client/customer target LinkedIn Groups
  3. Post relevant (compelling) content
  4. Answer questions
  5. Create your own LinkedIn Groups and post content

A classic lead nurturing sales process adapted for LinkedIn. Your powerful lead generation opportunity–a top-notch demographic and tools that make lead generation a snap.

Is there anyone that is effectively using these techniques to generate leads for your business?

    Interesting coincidence that this post and this one: http://corporate.lexisnexis.com/news/marketing,... were published on the same day and have the same five items.
  • Tracy,

    Not such a coincidence since it was written by Brian Carroll and syndicated out from his B2B Lead Generation blog via Newstex.

    Thanks for your due diligence.
