Finding interested and interesting contacts is easier than you might imagine.

Maybe you have never thought that some people on Linkedin make small gestures that are very significant in terms of interest towards you and for example

visit your profile
interact or comment on your posts
they click Follow on your profile without connecting
they follow your business page.
You should not take any of these actions for granted,

recommending your post is an appreciation of what you have written,
following you is synonymous with interest in what you publish on Linkedin,
following your portugal phone number list company Linkedin page shows interest in your products/services
visiting your profile expresses a desire to get to know you.
I recommend that you ask each of these inbound leads for a connection by writing them a message in which, explaining the connection request, you thank them for interacting with your posts, visiting or following your Linkedin profile or page.

They are leads who have already shown interest in your presence and activity on Linkedin, in this way you will immediately enter into a relationship with them in an empathetic way by stimulating interactions, exchanging private messages and preparing the ground for subsequent interactions on mutual posts.

Outbound Leads
Especially at the beginning of your activity on Linkedin, it may be a good idea to search for interesting profiles. You can do this through the Linkedin search engine or through Linkedin Sales Navigator .

In this case, define your buyer persona , your typical customer on Linkedin,

role
seniority
sector
agency
professional geographic location
These are just some of the 10 Linkedin filters and 24 Sales Navigator filters that you can use to target who you are looking for.

Finding the right people is not enough!

Again, you’ll need to send a personalized connection request, engage with the new lead, and show interest in them before talking about yourself and your business.

Linkedin Tips
People You May Know
Linkedin helps you grow your network by suggesting interesting profiles or companies based on your profile and connections, for example

people who attended the same schools / courses / universities
people with similar roles
people from similar sectors
subscribe to groups you are also subscribed to
companies followed by your connections
Can these tips be helpful?

Yes, but as long as they are verified by visiting and examining the suggested profiles and are not the way to increase your network quickly and without any real interest.

Automatic import of contacts
Linkedin allows you to import contacts into your phone and email address books by matching them with the phone number and email address indicated in your Linkedin contacts.

You can also send the connection request to a series of profiles by uploading directly to Linkedin a . csv or .txt or .vcf file containing the email addresses of the people you want to connect with.

If you decide to use this feature, be very careful in selecting who you really want to connect with, sometimes shortcuts on Linkedin are not the best path to success, as Orrin Woodward said:

“ There are many shortcuts to failure, but there are no shortcuts to success.”

The question that almost everyone asks is: " How many connections do you need to have on Linkedin to get results when looking for work or new clients? ".

The answer I would like to give is: " As many as possible.
