LinkedIn is the B2B social network. In Singapore, decision makers use it daily. Here is how to generate leads on LinkedIn without being spammy or annoying.
Optimizing Your Profile
Your profile is your landing page. Optimize it:
- Professional photo - Face clearly visible, appropriate attire
- Compelling headline - Not just job title. What do you help with?
- About section - Who you help, how, and what makes you different
- Featured section - Showcase best content and offers
- Recommendations - Social proof from colleagues and clients
Content Strategy
Consistent content builds credibility and attracts prospects:
- Post 3-5 times per week - Consistency matters more than perfection
- Share insights - Industry observations, lessons learned
- Engage with others - Comment thoughtfully on relevant posts
- Tell stories - Personal experiences resonate
- Avoid hard selling - Build trust first
Good content attracts inbound interest - people come to you.
Outbound Prospecting
- Sales Navigator - Advanced search and lead tracking
- Personalized connection requests - Reference something specific
- Value-first messaging - Give before you ask
- Patience - Build relationship before pitching
What NOT to do:
