LinkedIn Sales Executivewith SalesforceSocial Selling to Win
Expand Your Network and Leverage Your Common ConnectionsWith over 160 million members1, LinkedIn o�ers compelling insights into new leads through pro�le and company data, status updates, and groups. LinkedIn insights reveal that people are typically connected to fewer than 6% of their sales coworkers on LinkedIn.2 Use TeamLink—a premium feature of Sales Executive—to powerfully extend your network and gain visibility into your sales team’s �rst-degree connections. Leverage those common connections for warm introductions and accelerate sales cycles. Sales Executive allows your organization to quickly scale into social selling in a more e�cient and e�ective manner.
LinkedIn Sales Executive is a premium social selling solution that provides sales professionals with the ability to quickly �nd, qualify and create new opportu-nities and helps sales managers accelerate the social selling capabilities of their sales organization.
Prioritize Your Prospects and Build Better Lead Lists Don’t waste time pursuing ine�ective leads. Sales Executive’s Lead Builder feature helps you �lter your lead list based on criteria like seniority, title, function, and industry. Lead Builder then prioritizes your leads by degrees of social proximity, ranking your highest degree connections at the top of your lead list. Additional tools like Pro�le Organizer and Saved Searches make it easy to track pro�les, organize them into folders, and add your own sales notes.
Engage Decision-Makers Directly and Shorten Your Sales Cycle Sales Executive includes LinkedIn’s direct messaging feature called InMail that allows you to contact decision-makers directly—even when they’re outside of your network. Accord-ing to CSO Insights, an average of eight InMails can generate one new sales opportunity.3 InMail is the most e�ective when you reference a common connection. Knowing who to reference is even easier thanks to TeamLink. TeamLink is a premium feature that provides visibility into how your colleagues are connected to your prospects. TeamLink and InMail make a great combination; referencing a shared connection in your InMail generates a 78% more likelihood of a response than if you did not have a common connection to reference.4
