Lead Generation and Prospecting (Plus Bonus Tips for Mastering LinkedIn) Episode Highlights  Processing is similar to a dating process, you need to set up your profile for your ideal match. Don’t prospect to make a sale, prospect to start a conversation. Personalize your ask and don’t be afraid to add a bit of humor. You always need a human touch in the ask and conversion process. Typical prospecting flows should include 8 to 9 emails or messages to prospects. Often you will not even get a response from the prospect until email 6 or 7. Most important is to identify ideal client. The more laser focused you are on your ideal client, the better the results will be. Look at current and past clients that you’ve loved working with in order to understand who your ideal client is. Many businesses are not doing any prospecting at all. “Don’t neglect your outbound strategy and only focus on inbound.” LinkedIn Tips:   Join LinkedIn Groups -- Something you have in common. Post original content on LinkedIn that is incredibly value to prospects. Don’t sell through your posts, it can come off as too aggressive. Think about the challenges your prospects have and target your content towards those. Tailor LinkedIn profile to your prospects. Write directly to them as if you were speaking to them. Most LinkedIn inbound comes through articles written in LinkedIn directly. Find more tips in the podcast. There are too many good ones to share here.
