In today’s highly competitive job market, having a strong professional network is essential. With over 900 million users, LinkedIn is the top place for professionals to build their personal brands, network with other professionals, and find new customers.
Having a robust LinkedIn network is crucial for any business looking to generate leads, build relationships, and expand its reach. By using advanced search filters, analyzing user data, and leveraging the platform’s unique features, businesses can identify and engage with prospects who fit their ideal customer profile (ICP).
One of our favorite ways to find new connections and prospects on LinkedIn is using the “who viewed your profile” feature – which shows you exactly who viewed your profile. This is a powerful tool to find users who have taken that first step in the marketing funnel: awareness. Using this feature, you can identify potential business partners, employers, colleagues, or customers who have taken an interest in your business.
In this article, we’ll explore how to use the “Who Viewed Your Profile” feature to expand your professional network and find potential customers on LinkedIn.
Before you start making connections using the “who viewed your profile” feature, you’ll need to know where to find it, what it shows, and how to use it.
To access the “Who Viewed Your Profile” feature on LinkedIn, you’ll need to log into your personal LinkedIn account. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Me” icon at the top of the page, and then click on “View Profile.” On your profile page, you’ll see a section called “Who’s Viewed Your Profile.” Click on this section, and you’ll be taken to a page where you can see the people who have viewed your profile.
The “Who Viewed Your Profile” feature provides you with valuable insights into the people who are interested in your profile. You can see the name, photo, job title, and company of the people who have viewed your profile. You can also see how they found your profile (e.g., through a search, a LinkedIn group, or a post), and when they viewed your profile.
To get the most out of the “Who Viewed Your Profile” feature, it’s essential to know how to interpret the information provided. Here are some tips:
The “Who Viewed Your Profile” feature on LinkedIn is not just a tool for tracking who’s been looking at your profile – it’s also an opportunity to engage with potential connections and expand your professional network. Here are five of our favorite strategies to leverage the “Who Viewed Your Profile” feature to get LinkedIn connections:
We recommend reviewing the people who viewed your profile. This can help you identify potential connections and prospects who are a good fit for you. Look for people who have similar interests, job titles, industry experience, or work at the same company. By reviewing their profiles, you can get a better sense of whether or not they would be a good fit for your network.
Once you’ve identified potential connections, it’s time to send them a connection request. We always recommend that you personalize your message to show that you’re genuinely interested in connecting (and explain why they should connect with you). Keep in mind that not everyone will accept your request, so don’t take it personally if you don’t hear back.
We’ve written a guide on how to send a compelling LinkedIn connection request that’s guaranteed to increase your success rate.
If you’re not looking to expand your network and instead are looking for prospects, you can always send the viewers a message or leave a comment on their posts. This can help you start a conversation and build a relationship with potential prospects. When reaching out, keep your message concise and focus on the value you can bring to the conversation. Consider referencing something specific from their profile or a common interest to help break the ice.
You can do this via mass message as well if you’re looking to sell a product or service. Here’s how we send mass messages on LinkedIn.
Once you’ve connected with someone, don’t just let the connection sit idle. Follow up with them periodically to stay in the front of their mind and continue building the relationship. This could mean sharing a relevant article or resource, congratulating them on a recent accomplishment, or simply checking in to see how they’re doing.
If you’re anything like us, you’re most likely too busy to spend a lot of time building your LinkedIn network. Your work, family, and hobbies sometimes take priority – letting LinkedIn fall to the back. That’s exactly where LinkedIn automation software comes in!
