Social prospecting is the new normal. Now, hopefully this is the least surprising thing you’ve read all week. What might shock you is just how normal it’s become.
It’s so normal in fact that CoPilot AI users made 3,283,671 new connections in the last year. When you consider that the average LinkedIn user has 400 connections, that’s millions of new second-degree connections - how’s that for audience expansion?
The more your prospect, the more connections you make. The more connections you make, the greater the potential for your future prospecting campaign to reach even more people. Compounding is real -- the value of your new first-degree connections is real, but the strong potential of your second-degree connections is even more exciting.
Test your knowledge and get more connections: take the LinkedIn Maturity Quiz.
Of the new connections made, 32% responded - a significantly higher engagement rate than more traditional channels like email (according to CampaignMonitor, the average email open rate is 18%)
LinkedIn is a medium that senior and junior professionals alike pay far more attention to. It’s an incredibly effective way to get in front of your target audience and ensure your message reaches them.
Get your reply rate up with our five tips for crafting the perfect prospecting message, and get more quality conversations flowing in your pipeline.
Finally, about 12% of those who responded showed high intent to convert, and a follow-up email, phone call, or calendar invitation was sent to these highly engaged prospects. That’s miles away from the typical 2.62% click through rate on emails.
That’s an extremely efficient and cost-effective way to approach your top-of-funnel strategy, so you can capture and appeal to your audience’s interest much earlier in your sales cycle.
