3 Issues from Sam’s Playbook for LinkedIn Development

Sam McKenna, Founder at #samsales shares 3 features of her playbook👇

1. Craft a compelling hook

Whereas this may increasingly sound ‘apparent,’ it can’t be extra extremely emphasised. A giant a part of LinkedIn’s algorithm is dwell time, and you’ve got a restricted variety of strains to seize consideration (3 strains with out a image, 5 strains with an image). The aim is to compel customers to click on “see extra” to extend dwell time and in flip, attain.

A technique that I (Scott) personally do that is by writing out my put up, then truly rewriting it with the hook in thoughts. Usually, the perfect hook is the final a part of the what I write out – don’t underestimate beginning with the conclusion.

2. Write content material on your target market, but in addition past that

Whereas development exterior of your ICP alignment isn’t the aim, together with some content material for adjoining audiences will be useful for development. For instance, in case your ICP is government degree, think about writing for various ranges.

The expanded publicity not solely fosters total development however inadvertently exposes your ICP after they function throughout the adjoining house.

3. Systemize development

Rising your viewers systematically can enhance engagement and visibility. Methods for reaching this embrace:

• Join with individuals who have interaction along with your content material, significantly these in your ICP – use a pleasant and non-salesy method in your connection requests, thanking them for participating along with your posts.

• Proactively add folks inside your ICP. In case you have SalesNavigator, filtering by means of an inventory each day is an environment friendly manner of doing so and will be achieved in as little as 10 minutes.

That is truly Sam’s final week earlier than maternity depart, so we want her nicely!
