When marketing skills meet sales skills, you get what is popularly known as social selling. LinkedIn is a great social selling platform for marketers, and we give you 3 exclusive LinkedIn marketing tips (with real-life examples) to increase your sales in Singapore.
So, without further ado:
Here’s your 3-step guide to becoming a LinkedIn thought-leader:
Tip #1: Be original to generate original leads
DO: Share original content
Influencers value original content, especially when you are sharing it exclusively with them.
DON’T: Share too much curated content
McKinsey may be a big digital agency, but content from your own agency/brand will make you seem like a thought-leader.
Tip #2: Personalize your content, but not too much
DO: Share a quote from the article
A quote is personal, and catches people’s attention.
DON’T: Hyper-personalize content
The influencer below is from the real estate industry, but that doesn’t mean he wants to read only real estate-related content!
Tip #3: Have a conversation
DO: One-on-one communication
Try replying insightfully to another person’s piece of content. People love to discuss their own work.
DON’T: Mass communication
Tagging 3 people in one post seems impersonal, and as if you haven’t thought enough about their individual interests.
And before we go…here are some bonus tips on how to create sales-driving content!
We’ve discussed best practices for your LinkedIn marketing strategies in Singapore, but what content should you use to engage influencers and be seen as a thought-leader?
Live by these 3 tried-and-tested principles to create compelling content:
- Get your headline right. Use CoSchedule’s free headline analyzer tool
- Share content your prospects want. See what they’re sharing and give them more of what they like
- Distribute on the right channels. Analytics is your best friend to discover which channels work for you
We hope you’re now keen to combine your marketing and sales skills to become a LinkedIn marketing master in Singapore.
