Have you been trying to figure out how to reach out to prospective employers on LinkedIn? Have all your efforts to find work through your connections on LinkedIn…failed? Are you wondering why you are not getting anywhere with your job search?
To begin with, if you are looking for work and are not on LinkedIn, you are missing the boat big time. LinkedIn is the place to be. LinkedIn is the place to be for business…period!
I get invited to multiple different platforms that are new and tout that they are the new best way to get leads and referrals. I have tried a few of them, and none of them can hold a candle to LinkedIn. I have since deleted my profiles from those other platforms.
This is the largest networking platform in the world, bar none.
We need to think of LinkedIn as this huge networking room full of people. But instead of having to go to each person individually, you can search for the exact prospect you are looking for.
Use the search parameters when you are searching for people. You can be as specific as you want to be. Set the parameters for the people you need and want for business and save the results. Then LinkedIn will do the rest.
Each week LinkedIn will send you a list of new leads that it has found in relation to the parameters you have set up, once a week. I have had clients who have received over 400 leads in one week. How would that help your job search?
The next step is how to reach out to these prospective leads. If you are on the free platform, you can only use your FREE Inmail through the groups. So you need to find which groups these prospects are in and join one of their groups.
Once you are accepted into a group, search for the person in the members list. When you find them, remember that you want to build a relationship first, so you nourish a bond of trust between you. Make your first communication all about them. They will soon start asking about you.
