NBS – Advanced LinkedIn and Linked Helper

So far, we have concentrated on automating outbound LinkedIn connection requests.

• Share the posts and articles of others with your first level connects
  • When you share a post, you can also include your comment on them and encourage your 1st level connections to share with their 1st level connections
  • If the connection of your connections (your 2nd level connections) respond to your comment, this is another great way to start engaging with them
• Create your own posts and articles and share with your first-level connections
• Automatically visit other people’s profiles
  • Many of the people you visit this way will also visit your profile and as a result, they may send you a connection request
• Re-engage with 1st level connections who have not yet engaged with you by sending them something new through email (such as an invitation to hear a particular speaker)
  • After a while, you will build a large network of first-connections, most of which you have not yet met face-to-face
  • There is large potential in that group and the timing may not have been good when you first connected with them
  • One way to reach such people is to use Linked Helper to obtain their email addresses from LinkedIn and then engage with them on email rather than LinkedIn
  • The reason for this is that most people check their email inbox more frequently than they check LinkedIn
• Stay engaged with people by scheduling email messages containing great audio links
  • This can easily be done using the scheduler in your Activity Sheet
• Endorse others whose profile you like (this is distinct from a recommendation)
  • This will often prompt the other person to start a conversation with you and you can recommend you connect and meet in person
• Watch for notifications of events involving your connections (such as birthdays, promotions, changing job roles)
