Is it possible to get multiple appointments on LinkedIn in just one week? Guys, I'm telling you that it is, and in this episode, I'm going to show you how I got eight appointments in five days. I promise it's no influencer trick and has everything to do with prospecting.
Take a look at your LinkedIn Connections
- Go through your LinkedIn connection list and group them into potential customers, past customers, and people you know but don't know what you do.
- For the ones grouped in "people you know," try booking a 5-7 minute meeting by doing the most simple thing: ask permission to ask a question.
Appointment Influencers
- Past coworkers could be your connection to getting appointments for a specific organization.
- You may have to set up an appointment with them, but at least they can probably influence a deal for you.
Look for Partners
- Sometimes you have to provide opportunities to others to help you set appointments. I share how I did this with a recruiting firm and some of my sales reps. If you give to others, they will be more willing to give to you.
Post LinkedIn Polls
- Creating LinkedIn polls on an industry issue and responding to those who engaged with it is a great way to find prospective clients. They're telling you what their problem is, and you can use this to your advantage.
- Shoot them a question to start a conversation and see if you're able to set an appointment.
"You guys get to hear from me all the time, but I never get to hear from you. I want to hear from you! Connect with me on LinkedIn, and I'll be happy to answer questions or even help you out with these tips." - Donald Kelly.
