I presented this deck in a 45-minute session at LinkedIn's Sales Connect 2015 in Las Vegas. They say cold calling is the hardest part of the sale, but it doesn't have to be that way anymore with LinkedIn's Sales Navigator. In every 10 InMails sent, my team is getting 5+ responses using five strategies that have been proven to work.

Notes de l'éditeur
- How’s everyone enjoying the show? How was the party last night?
- I think it’s important before we dive into this presentation to touch on my background. Anyone know who this is? RENEE FLEMING. I’m a classically trained opera singer. I was conditioned my entire life and through school to be an opera singer. How many people want to hear me sing opera instead of this presentation? Sorry you’re out of luck, because it’s equally as entertaining. Life got real for me after school when I was handed my car payment, loan interest, and health insurance bills. Anyone here really know what they wanted to be right after school? Thought I did but knew quickly I had to find a way into business, which leads me to LinkedIn.
- YOU WILL LEAVE this presentation with 3 things. By the end of this session, I’m going to give you 3 things, you will walk away with 3 key things to remember.
- How many of you remember the days before LinkedIn? Seriously, how did we function in sales with LinkedIn? After school I Moved to dallas. Turned to LINKEDIN to find a job; friend’s dads were the only people who had jobs; reached out to them. I was “LinkedIn-ing” before it was even a thing Got my first job out of college; worked for VP @ FedEx. At the time, didn’t think it would amount to a thing, but it was more relevant than I ever realized. I LEARNED HOW TO TALK TO EXECUTIVES in this role, which I do every day now, selling and pitching SmarterHQ. I soon realized that VPs and CEOs put their pants on the same way as me, they were no different.
- How many people here lead a sales team? How many people are on a team right now and want to lead one day? Fast forward a couple years I knew I wanted to get in sales. Everyone told me at FedEx I belonged in sales, and I knew I craved more. I courted a software company for NINE MONTHS. Hindsight, I knew I was right for sales #1 in team of 10, quarter after quarter. President’s Club. What was my winning formula? LinkedIn. Team followed suit and I launched the first LinkedIn initiative at a major software company; still in place to this day Recruited to another company 2 years later, current company, SmarterHQ, to lead all Lead Gen initiatives
- 84% of the meetings I set in 2013 were from LinkedIn & using InMails
- 87% of the meetings my TEAM set in 2014 were from LinkedIn + Sales Navigator (at launch, July 2014)
- In every 10 InMails sent, my team sees 5 responses In this presentation, I’ll be covering that as well as other tactics that help a sales development team substantially
- Talked to many executives; data points Story around Director of Ecommerce @ Crate & Barrel; his experience with Sales Emails vs LinkedIn
- Talking points laid out here
- Going through high level each inmail. Calling out subject, intro, body, and one swipe. We should probably X out their names/pictures.
- Going through this slide
- WHO HAS A CRM SYSTEM??? WHO IS TIRED??? Have SFDC add “LinkedIn” note and log each LI note in SFDC Run reporting over how many InMails are sent per day, and how long it takes to get to a meeting
- They will become more familiar with your name as you ‘like’ their content they’re posting Follow companies, stay engaged with what companies are promoting or posting
- Harder to say no when they can see your face
- Sharing story around times that I send an InMail for a team member that I’m connected with to make an introduction STORY ON LEIGH
