Posted February 21, 2017

Want to know the easiest, quickest and most effective way to get around a gatekeeper?

Approach a potential client via LinkedIn.

Why?

Because there aren’t any “gatekeepers” on LinkedIn

Now right about now, you get some of the hardcore sales types, getting their panties all in a bunch because they think I’m saying NOT to pick up a phone.

Of course you should pick up a phone but;

Why couldn’t you leverage LinkedIn to:

Bypass the “gatekeeper” and;

Create a feeling of propinquity (go ahead and look that sh*t up)?

This way when you DO pick up the phone;

You don’t sound like EVERY other sales rep trying to get their business and;

You’ve already created (at least in part) the whole “know, like, and trust” thing.

Want to know how you do that?

Then come join us on Thursday, February 23rd for our How To Generate MORE Leads Via LinkedIn webinar.

I’m going to get into actual tactics and share 10 templates I created to help you;

Work a proven communication plan from the moment you say “hello” to the moment you transition that “connection” off of your computer screen.

Here’s what you’ll GAIN by joining us . . .

  • What to say and do, from the moment, you connect with someone. And I’m going to give you the exact templates that I’ve been using!

  • How to send inmails without paying for a premium membership.
  • How to dramatically increase your response rates via LinkedIn.
  • How to approach someone without coming across as salesy. How do you feel when this happens to you on LinkedIn?
