If you are not familiar to “LinkedIn”
here's some short description, LinkedIn is a business-oriented social
networking site. Founded in December 2002 and launched in May 2003,
it is mainly used for professional networking. , LinkedIn had more
than 75 million registered users, spanning more than 200 countries
and territories worldwide.
LinkedIn is well known because it
featured called Saved Searches. Which it characteristic to find or to
search one of the specific types of your contacts and automatically
can save in an instance on criteria. after that LinkedIn will email
you a weekly update with new contacts from your saved search.
If you set this up the right way,
you'll get a steady stream of new leads every week from LinkedIn.
Let's take a closer look at how this works.
Here is how to set-up:
1.
Next to the Search Box, click on the Advanced link
for a People search.
2.
Enter a specific Title.
For a broader search you you may want to use the Keyword field
instead and enter a job function (such as Sales or Human Resources).
3.
If you only want to show people within a certain geography, use
the Postal
Code filter
4.
Now here's the most important part. In the Relationship section
select 2nd
Connections.
This is because you only want to see a list of new people who could
be introduced by your 1st degree connections.
Optional Search Criteria for Paid Subscribers:
Some
of the search options are only available to people who pay for the
enhanced version of LinkedIn. I think it's worth investing in.
However, if you're only using the free version you can skip this
optional search criteria.
5. Once you have entered all the search criteria, click the Search button. After it displays your list of 2nd Degree Connections, click the Save Search link in the upper right corner.
Now
just sit back and let LinkedIn do the work. Each week you'll receive
a list of new 2nd Degree Connections who are qualified leads. Use the
"Get Introduced" feature in LinkedIn to initiate a
conversation with someone.
