Advanced Search
• Find names of key employees of a company:
→From the About page on company website
→From the company page on LinkedIn
• If found on website - search their “firstname lastname” on LinkedIn in Google Search
LinkedIn Company Page
→ See if they belong to any groups
→ Join some common groups
→ See if they ever comment/post
→ If you can join a common group – you can send a private message
→ Look for common connections – ask for an introduction
• Was it someone important?
→ Comment on company page posts
#1 – Posting too often – once/day max
#2 - Sending a private message that is too “salesy” or a blanket group message
