Best Practices for B2B Using LinkedIn

Melissa O'Donnell • June 27, 2022

Want to know how your business can reach more people and potential customers through LinkedIn’s platform? 

 

With LinkedIn having almost 828 million members and over 58 million registered companies, can your business really afford to not utilise this platform to generate more leads? 

 

Users are spending 300% more time on LinkedIn compared with last year due to improved algorithms, meaning they are receiving more targeted content. 

 

So, what can you do to get your brand in front of potential customers? Here are a few simple changes you can make today that will make a lot of difference. 

 

  • Ensuring that your profile is set to public will enable you to be seen by more people.

 

  • Have a declutter of the people you are following and only follow people who are relevant. 


  • Adding skills to your profile allows people to endorse you, which gives you credibility. 


  • It’s really important to be actively engaging in other people’s posts as well as posting content regularly yourself, we recommend twice a day. 


  • Using keywords in your job title, that your potential clients are likely to use, will help you get found by those requiring your services.


  • Using hashtags in your posts are a great way to acquire continuous engagement even months down the line. Posting an article or blog as the post rather than a link in the comments helps with algorithms as LinkedIn wants users to stay on their platform, rather than be directed to another.  

 

Prospects need 18-20 touchpoints with a business before they will consider buying a product or service. We need to make sure that when a potential client is exposed to our brand they know exactly how to make a next step. Having a website that is accessible and contact details readily available is essential to converting leads into enquiries. 

 

Having a strategy is paramount when it comes to your presence on LinkedIn. It’s important to think about what you want to achieve, whether that be more followers and engagement on your posts or generating more leads. Do your posts allow potential customers to access more information easily? What kind of posts are generating the most engagement? Is your profile fully optimised with keywords? Are your posts demanding people’s attention by using hooks? It’s good to also consider what kind of posts you are sending out there, this may include videos, blogs, graphics, a general status, social proof, the list goes on. 


Build your LinkedIn network

 

Lastly, if you're using LinkedIn to grow your professional network and gain leads then you need to make sure your posts are engaging. Ask questions, provoke a response and remember that LinkedIn is full of professionals that might not have all the time in the world, it's more about quality than quantity with what you put out there.

When we discuss web design or copywriting with a client, one of the questions Infoserve will always ask is: ‘what are your USPs?’ However, we have noticed that there has been some discourse online regarding the relevance of USPs in modern marketing, and whether they really hold as much value in 2024.

By Francesca Taylor • August 27, 2024
Contact pages are often overlooked by business owners and, at Infoserve , we believe the reason for this is because they seem like the least exciting page on a website.

And, sure, these features are essential. But there’s so much more to it than that.

E-Commerce in Summer: How to Convert Outside of the Fourth Quarter

By Francesca Taylor • August 15, 2024
The preconception that businesses only make profit in the fourth quarter is a common trap that many new e-commerce companies fall into. It is true that many shops, particularly bricks and mortar shops, will make the bulk of their annual profit in the final months of the year due to the Christmas shopping rush, but this doesn’t mean that it is impossible for profit to be made during the rest of the year. This is for many reasons including the fact that Christmas is only celebrated within certain cultures, and the need for products doesn’t suddenly stop once January comes around. So, how do you ensure you’re reaching your customers outside of this peak selling period? Let’s take a look.
