Use	LinkedIn	Advance	feature	for	“Multi-Threating”	– ability	to	find,	connect	and	
manage	more	than	one	user	at	a	time.	In	B2B,	the	sales	process	involves	reaching	out	
to	more	than	one	person	in	the	Target	Company	and	managing	multiple	relationships	
to	ensure	that	the	deal	progresses.	It	is	important	to	evaluate	the	target	company	
influencers,	determine	their	relationships	and	their	decision	authority.

Engage
There	are	thousands	of	Groups	or	Forums	
on	LinkedIn.	With	the	objective	to	develop	
deals,	it	is	a	great	way	to	develop	
relationships	with	your	target	audience	
(peers,	prospects	&	key	stakeholders)	and	
improve	brand	recognition.	
Share insights,	best	practices	and	news

Engage Do	Engage	in	Conversations:	Customer	engagement	is	the	key	to	every	business	
success.	Initiate	one-on-one	communication	and	be	approachable	to	your	
customers	as	you	would	be	with	friends.
Be	Authentic:	When	you	use	social	media	without	a	genuine	purpose	to	foster	a	
solid	relationship,	your	half-hearted	intents	won’t	go	unnoticed.
Do	add	value: To	become	a	trusted	resource,	always	have	something	to	give	to	your	
customers	in	return	for	their	curiosity. Create	distinctive	corporate	marketing	
messages	and	insights	reach	prospects	and	customers.	
Don’t	Broadcast:	Selling	is	primarily	about	building	relationships	and	knowing	your	
customers.	Bombarding	your	audience	with	promotional	content	is	far	less	effective	
than	you	may	think.

LinkedIn is	a	powerful	publishing

on	the	company	news,	offering,

are	automatic	sharing	tools	like
