The Sales Evangelist How To Use Sales Navigator To Target C-Suite Executives | Mike Murphy and John Murphy - 1869
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a handy tool to help you find prospects, but if you’re not using it right, you won’t be able to target the ones who have the say in closing a deal. How can you learn to use it to get in touch with C-suite executives? Find out in this episode with my guests Mike and John Murphy, the father-and-son duo of Text Tonality, and learn their three-step strategy for using LinkedIn.
Where Did Their Passion for LinkedIn Come From?
- After struggling to find new clients, John turned to his son Mike for help. Mike had a unique strategy that helped his father find high-stakes clients in no time.
- Thanks to Mike’s method, he and his father are now the proud owners of Text Tonality.
Understanding What Filters Are
- When you first use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you’ll notice the many different filters within the tool. Mike noticed that people usually use the filters incorrectly in two different ways: either using too many or not enough filters.
- There are a certain number of filters you can use to help you find the right clients. If you DM Mike, he gives you the code to his free training to help you learn this trick.
What To Say to C-Suite Executives When You Find Them
- John shares that to get your message out correctly, you first have to position yourself in front of them.
- They have to see how you can help them with their problem. If you can’t get them to see this, then they’re not going to spend 30 minutes on the phone with you.
- Start with the big problem they have to intrigue them with a solution.
Sending LinkedIn Messages Without Spamming
- John and Mike share that it’s best not to send messages within LinkedIn connections. They share how sending Text Tonality messages works better after waiting a day after sending a connection request.
- Mike also shares how probing can help get prospects to speak to you more after they say no thank you to your first message.
- If you’re struggling with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, consider working with John and Mike at Text Tonality to learn more of their secrets.
“Don't be afraid to follow up. People won’t get mad at you. They don't mind as long as you do it right." - John Murphy.
"You want to think about how there is an element of numbers to this. A key performance indicator that we look for is a 25% acceptance rate, which means I'm targeting the right people and my profile is resonating." - Mike Murphy.
