Are you looking to supercharge your LinkedIn outreach campaigns and find your next clients? In today’s article, we’ll explore how to maximize your efforts using two distinct strategies: hunting and nurturing campaigns.
To optimize your results, it’s crucial to structure your campaigns thoughtfully. Let’s break down the process:
1. Focus on Hunting Campaigns (Allocate 90% of Your Effort)
Hunting campaigns are proactive, targeting new prospects. To make the most of your time, consider the following steps:
Preparation: Targeting the Right Audience
The foundation of an effective hunting campaign is precision. Identify your ideal prospects based on key factors such as:
Industry vertical
Job title
Company size
Geographic location
Crafting Winning LinkedIn Templates
Develop a series of compelling message templates that clearly communicate your value proposition. Focus on:
Highlighting the benefits of your product/service
Showcasing relevant success stories
You have two options when sending connection requests:
With an intro message: While fewer people may accept, those who do tend to be more qualified.
Without an intro message: This often leads to higher acceptance rates, as it feels less transactional.
Managing LinkedIn Outreach Volumes
LinkedIn allows you to send up to 70 connection requests and 80 follow-up messages per day. Over the course of a month, that’s roughly 400-1,200 invites—significantly expanding your network of potential clients.
To diversify your outreach and minimize risk, segment your campaigns by:
Location
Industry
Job title
Company size
You can run up to 10 campaigns simultaneously from a single LinkedIn account. If you need to scale further, consider adding additional accounts and dividing your target markets.
Effectively Managing Your Prospects
When leads respond, you’ll encounter various scenarios: some will request a demo, some may ask for more details, and others may request to reconnect at a later date. Implementing a tagging system will help you manage follow-ups and re-engagement based on the prospect's response, ensuring no lead falls through the cracks.
2. Nurturing Campaigns: Re-engage Your Cold Prospects
Let’s say you’ve sent 3-12 messages to a batch of prospects and your results look like this:
Acceptance rate: 10-40%
Reply rate: 5-15%
With, for example, 300 new prospects a month, you might receive 15-45 responses. But what about the 255-285 prospects who didn’t reply? This is where nurturing campaigns come into play.
By implementing nurturing or re-engagement campaigns, you can turn previously unresponsive prospects into potential clients. Consistent follow-up is key—many deals are closed after the initial outreach, so don’t miss out on these opportunities.
Maximize Your LinkedIn Outreach Success
With these strategies in place, you’ll be well-equipped to run highly effective LinkedIn outreach campaigns. By combining hunting campaigns to expand your network and nurturing campaigns to re-engage cold prospects, you’ll be in a strong position to consistently win new business.
