Key Takeaway

The first step to solve “Why searching for product keywords on LinkedIn, most of which are colleagues and suppliers” is not to find the tricks but to eliminate the errors assumptions. The team is likely to understand the problem as a lack of traffic, but the real reason is that product words appear more often in supplier files and buyers may use application, industry or job language. Both judgments will be directed towards completely different movements.

Context & Preparation

Start by sampling recent content, engagement or leads. Check whether you are reaching target customers, whether they understand your value, and whether the next step is clear. The efficiency of the proactive development is first determined by the ideal customer image and target account quality, accurate search is not a product keyword, but a combination of industry, region, size, application, position and business signals.

Action Steps

Priority Implementation: Change the industry plus application plus job plus regional portfolio, and turn to search for decision makers from the target company page. At the same time, we use first defined ICP and exclusion items, then create a target company list, decision-making role map, search form and verification fields, and group storage and review in Sales Navigator or basic search. The order, don't go beyond the position and evidence ahead, directly pursue the final customer consultation. Test one meaningful difference at a time and define when to stop, so that additional resources produce a clear conclusion.

What to Measure

The assessment indicators are divided into two categories of lead and result. The leading indicators are the target company matching rate, decision-making role coverage rate, effective listing rate, data access, response rate and entry demand confirmation dialogue, result indicators are qualified leads, offers and business opportunities. This topic is to compare the share of new old search modes buyers. Only two categories of indicators are consistent and can prove that the change is truly effective.

Review & Improve

The common error area is to see cost decreases or interaction increases and increase immediately. The B2B sample is small, it should first verify the identity and needs of customers and then observe a stable cycle. The results of being used for sale, being able to continue to follow and be able to track the source are the results that are worth preserving.

Practical Exercise

When practicing, you can first verify with a small set of real target accounts: changing the industry plus applications plus positions plus regional portfolio and searching for decision makers from the target company page. After execution not only by feeling judging, but to compare the new old search forms of buyers; Also record the customer’s identity, the version used, the date and subsequent sales outcomes, so that an occasional reply is not mistaken for a repeatable method.
