Ready? Let's get started!

What Are LinkedIn Groups?

LinkedIn Groups are virtual communities of professionals around the world. While you can find groups specific to your industry, you can also find groups that may be more general and generate a larger following.

LinkedIn Groups are forums where people with similar interests can come together to discuss, share tips and advice, and even help each other find a job. Of course, the group owner moderates the discussions, so you would have to abide by a strict set of rules.

Why Join Them?

Over the past few years, LinkedIn has evolved to be much more than a "professional" social network. Now you can join groups relevant to your industry, product, class, and so on, and stay up-to-date on all of the latest news and events within your groups.

People join LinkedIn groups because they want to network with other professionals in the industry and get valuable content regularly. Also, when you join LinkedIn groups, your profile shows that you're an active member of the community, which adds trustworthiness to your character. By being a part of industry groups, you can increase your connections and gain more followers on LinkedIn.

How To Boost Sales Through Groups

Here are some tips on how to use LinkedIn groups to boost sales:

●     Build your own LinkedIn group: Create a group, invite your connections, and then start promoting it. This can establish your brand as an authority and enable you to reach a wider audience.

●     Join groups related to your brand or industry: LinkedIn has a lot of small groups dedicated to helping businesses achieve their goals. It is a great place to grow your network and promote your brand.

●     Ask for recommendations from group members: Reach out to members of groups who might be in a position to recommend your brand, and ask for their help.

●     Develop a reputation as a respected leader or expert: Use your group to gain credibility and enhance your brand.

●     Request testimonials/reviews: Reach out to group members and request endorsements. This will not only help boost your business but also get you valuable feedback from real customers.

●     Post a poll: LinkedIn makes this super easy. You can simply create a poll and conduct market research to see what your followers want.

Outbound Lead Generation

If you’re working with a lead generation company such as SalesGig, of course, they will seek out new connections all the time. However, due to LinkedIn’s policies, they can only send a certain number of connection requests per week.  By joining relevant groups on LinkedIn, you’re opening up the possibility to go beyond the number of connection requests per week.

Leveraging LinkedIn groups can be an effective way to boost sales. You can reach out to more connections during an outreach campaign if they are a member of a group that you also belong to. Just remember to always look out for relevant groups in your area of expertise and use them to your advantage. This is an excellent way to establish your brand and meet new customers in an authentic manner.
