This can be particularly problematic for sales activities that require targeted outreach.
CompLeadly as a Solution for Targeted Search Queries
To bridge this gap, CompLeadly steps in. CompLeadly has no dedicated search for Premium members. In automations such as Auto Message, Auto Visit and campaigns, however, the “Premium profiles only” option skips contacts without a Premium badge, and Auto InMails can be sent to Open Profiles only. This is especially useful for increasing the efficiency of marketing and sales campaigns by ensuring that the right target groups are reached.
Especially when using the InMail function and wanting to conserve InMail credits, one must search for Open Profiles, which always have a Premium profile purchased on LinkedIn.
Alternatives to Profile Search: Service Search
In addition to using a regular LinkedIn search, there is also the option of Service Search. This search can be used to find services and providers, who are always Open Profiles. This offers another way to identify and approach relevant contacts.
Summary and Practical Application
For effective use of the LinkedIn network, it is recommended to search in the Sales Navigator and enable the “Premium profiles only” option in CompLeadly automations so that contacts without a Premium badge are skipped. Auto InMails can also be limited to Open Profiles. Additionally, LinkedIn's Service Search can be used for broader queries to find potential contacts and services.
