LinkedIn Sales Insights - LinkedIn's powerful tool for smarter Sales planning

Don’t we all agree to the fact that when it comes to connecting with relevant and potential customers in a B2B Sales cycle, there is no better platform than LinkedIn? With its vast networking platform and an ever-growing number of users, LinkedIn is the first choice of any business that is looking for genuine and permanent customers.

To facilitate businesses to easily reach and connect with their customers, LinkedIn has, in the past, provided several sales management tools like Linkedin Outreach and LinkedIn Sales Navigator that help sales teams and professionals conduct better prospecting and generate qualified leads that eventually convert into the best customer relationships.

On similar lines, a few years ago, LinkedIn rolled out the LinkedIn Sales Insights analytics tool that aids Sales teams and organizations in smart and strategic sales planning. In this blog, let us get to know more about this tool, what are its benefits and the likes.

What is LinkedIn Sales Insights?

• LinkedIn Sales Insights is a data enrichment and analytics platform created by LinkedIn for Sales teams, that provides access to reliable and trustworthy data for smarter sales planning.

Benefits of LinkedIn Sales Insights

• A raw and unstructured dataset that is extracted from different sources from the web is absolutely of no use to companies. For any business to have an upper hand over their competitors by connecting with a segmented and targeted audience, it is extremely important that they have access to quality data that is clean, reliable and comprehensible. LinkedIn Sales Insights is particularly designed to display enhanced and enriched data from LinkedIn that can be used by Sales teams in an effective manner in their sales planning.
• LinkedIn Sales Insights makes data visible at a granular level so that Sales professionals and their teams can understand their target audience better and in depth so that the strategies they plan for the customers resonate with them thoroughly. The tool enables Sales teams to identify their potential customers based on multiple parameters be it demographics, geographic locations, company domain, company size, job roles etc. With LinkedIn Sales Insights, it is possible to create buyer personas based on the above filters to identify ideal prospects.
• LinkedIn Sales Insights also provides you the facility to easily integrate already existing CRMs within your organization. Importing and exporting your user accounts is a simple task using this tool. Sales Representatives can carry out a detailed and thorough analysis of their accounts and can come up with informed recommendations and decisions based on the reports created by LinkedIn Sales Insights.

Note : As of today, Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365 are the only two CRMs that LinkedIn Sales Insights can be integrated into.
