Effective prospecting on LinkedIn requires a strategic approach. Start by defining your ideal customer profile and identifying relevant keywords and groups. Use LinkedIn's search filters to narrow down your target audience and leverage tools like Scrupp to automate the data extraction process. Scrupp helps streamline your prospecting efforts by providing comprehensive profile information, including verified email addresses, allowing you to personalize your outreach and increase your chances of success. Remember, successful prospecting is not just about quantity; it's about quality and building meaningful connections with potential clients.
Beyond specialized tools like Scrupp, the landscape of LinkedIn prospecting includes a variety of solutions designed to enhance different stages of your outreach. These often fall into categories such as:
Did you know that LinkedIn groups can increase your prospecting effectiveness by 40%? According to LinkedIn, members of groups are four times more likely to view your profile. To maximize this, focus on groups relevant to your industry and target audience. For instance, if you're in SaaS, join groups focused on cloud computing, digital transformation, and sales leadership to connect with potential clients and partners. Use tools like Scrupp to extract member data and personalize your outreach.
Now, I want to show examples, of how to get the right people in Linkedin groups and send them free messages without limits.
Let's get started:
Ok, first of all, we find target groups with our auditory.
Type a request in the main Linkedin search inbox and click to the Group tab to switch search results.
You see the list with groups.
Popular groups have a lot of members, but auditory is very different and you need time to grab these contacts to Scrupp. Try to find local or more professional groups before you start to scrap it.
When evaluating LinkedIn groups, consider these factors to ensure you're joining communities with engaged and relevant members:
Click to join the group. It takes time to get approval from admins and sometimes they don't approve you, for different reasons.
To increase your chances of group approval, optimize your LinkedIn profile. A complete profile with a professional headshot, detailed work experience, and relevant skills is crucial. According to LinkedIn, profiles with professional headshots get 21x more profile views and 9x more connection requests. Also, tailor your summary to showcase your expertise and the value you bring to the group. This demonstrates that you're a valuable addition to the community.
Of cause it depends on how professional view your profile has. The more professional the group, the more criteria they have for the quality of connected members.
First of all, I wanna ask you a question, can you scrap members, if you are not connected in a specific group?
No, unfortunately. You should be in a group, and sometimes group admins don't want to accept you, because you are out of specification, if they manually check every member title. Anyway, if you are in, you can easily add a group to Scrupp and parse all members to it.
If you use Sales Navigator, you can filter search results by Group and export results to the Scrupp application.
While tools like Scrupp offer a streamlined approach to data extraction, it's important to be aware of the broader landscape of LinkedIn scraping methods and their implications. These can include:
Regardless of the method, always consider LinkedIn's Terms of Service regarding data scraping. While some level of data extraction is common for sales and marketing, aggressive or unauthorized scraping can lead to account restrictions. Prioritize ethical data collection and focus on building genuine connections.
Here will be your own list of groups, where you can control members' parsing.
In the modal window insert the link with a group ID, like on the screenshot. Just copy and paste the Linkedin link, when you are on a group page.
Run Import!
Scraping should be started immediately after creating a group in the Scrupp.
You are able to see all progress on a page and launch and pause the export process there.
No sense to wait until all members will be scraped from the group. cause it can be a long process.
While Scrupp is scraping group members, you can prepare your boolean search strategy. Boolean searches allow you to refine your results by using operators like AND, OR, and NOT. For instance, you could search for 'CEO AND (FinTech OR Blockchain) NOT Sales.' This helps you quickly identify the most relevant prospects within the group, saving time and effort. According to a study by LinkedIn, boolean searches can improve lead quality by up to 30%.
I suggest switching to creating a boolean search, to filter all prospects we are interested in.
When you click on the group title in the Scrupp you will see all members, who already got scraped and in a database. Ok, a batch of people already exported, let's start to create a boolean search!
In this search field, you can use technics of boolean search like a regular Linkedin boolean search.
You can check the syntax in the notification below the search input or read the full guide How to use the boolean search on Linkedin?
Let's imagine that we filtered some interesting group members and want to export them.
Click the Export button on a Scrupp group page and select the existing aggregator or create a new one.
When contacts are exported to the aggregator, you can enrich the data to use additional filters and full data about contact.
On the aggregator view page you will see how many contacts need to be updated or enriched.
Data enrichment is crucial for effective prospecting. By enriching your data with tools like Scrupp, you can uncover valuable insights such as verified email addresses, phone numbers, and company information. This allows you to personalize your outreach and increase your chances of engagement. According to HubSpot, personalized emails have a 6x higher transaction rate. Use Scrupp to enrich your contact data and tailor your messages for maximum impact.
If you use a regular Linkedin account you can view 100+ profiles per day. You can set limits in Settings for each account.
You can use different accounts to enrich data, just log in to Linkedin and run enrichment again.
If your account has a Premium subscription or Sales Navigator, you can enrich up to 5000 contacts.
When you run Enrichment, the Scrupp takes all data about contacts, need to be updated, and after that, you are able to start selecting the right contacts for your business.
The main reason, why we make all these actions are free messages to the group members, even if you are in a second or third contact with them.
As we know we have a quite small amount of connection requests and even if we have Premium membership, In-mails are limited and have some cons in the sales process.
So, How to send a free message to a target group member?
If you open the prospect profile page, you can't send free messages to him, you will see regular Connection requests and paid In-Mail buttons.
You have a couple of methods to send messages to group members.
If you use any automation tools, you can export all contacts from Scrupp and use Linkedin profile identificators there, to send messages and create sequences.
When using automation tools for linkedin group auto message or linkedin group chat auto message, ensure you adhere to LinkedIn's guidelines to avoid penalties. Focus on providing value and building relationships rather than sending generic, spammy messages. A personalized message that addresses the prospect's needs or interests is far more effective. For example, mention a recent post they made in the group or a shared connection. Always prioritize quality over quantity in your outreach efforts.
If you want to send a message manually, go to a group members page, on the right corner you will see the search input. Here you can search for members by first and last name.
Copy prospect name in Scrupp and paste to search section, and then click the "Message" button.
And that's it. You can send unlimited messages for free!
As you can see, there are some free methods to reach people on Linkedin and save paid In-mails and valuable Connection Requests.
Understanding the nuances of each outreach method on LinkedIn can significantly impact your success. Here's a breakdown:
Method | Description | Pros | Cons & Limits |
---|---|---|---|
LinkedIn Group Messages | Direct messages to members of a shared group, even if not connected. |
|
|
Connection Requests | Sending a request to connect, with an optional personalized note. |
|
|
InMail (Premium/Sales Nav) | Direct messages to anyone on LinkedIn, regardless of connection status. |
|
|
Open Profile Messages | Messages to users who have enabled "Open Profile" (available to Premium users). |
|
|
Choosing the right method depends on your target audience, message, and overall strategy. Combining methods, as suggested in this article, can often yield the best results.
One of the biggest challenges in LinkedIn marketing is overcoming the limitations on your direct reach. While connection requests and InMail messages offer avenues for engagement, they often come with restrictions. To maximize your reach, consider leveraging LinkedIn groups. By actively participating in relevant groups and providing valuable insights, you can establish yourself as a thought leader and expand your network organically. Furthermore, tools like Scrupp can help you identify and connect with key individuals within these groups, enabling you to extend your reach and build meaningful relationships with potential clients and partners.
If you are growing your business on Linkedin you should try this method and estimate all achievements of this!
