Targeted Engagement with your prospects on LinkedIn
Your sales team comes to you. They’ve sent emails. They’ve left voicemails.They’ve dropped off a gift at the office to sweeten up the gatekeeper. They can’t understand why your prospect just won’t return their calls. Do you think perhaps that is because they are making it all about themselves and not about the prospect? It’s time to change the game. Spotlight out. Let them know there is a better way. Let them know to stop selling. Teach them how to start Influencing.
According to Wikipedia:
In chess, the king (♔, ♚) is the most important piece... Although the king is the most important piece, it is usually the weakest piece in the game until a later phase, the endgame. Players cannot make any move that places the king in check.
The queen (♕,♛) is the most powerful piece in the game of chess, able to move any number of squares vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Each player starts the game with one queen, placed in the middle of the first rank next to the king.
You see, the content is as necessary as the King in a game of chess. But the conversations are what hold the power, just as the queen does in a game of chess.
Unfortunately, most people do not engage in content that is posted on LinkedIn, whether that means the home page, the company and showcase pages, the Publisher, or in LinkedIn Groups. What I mean by that is that, we all just scroll, look, scroll. But it’s time to start engaging. Like, comment, share.
