Over 80% of B2B salespeople successfully use LinkedIn to reach prospects and close deals. This is why having a platform like BestFoodImporters, which offers access to the LinkedIn profiles of the right buyers, food importers, and distributors, can be a game changer for your efficiency.

For over 8 years BestFoodImporters has been offering LinkedIn profiles as contact options for the food importers and distributors included in the databases, and we have now reached over 33.000 profiles  Our users can utilise these profiles as part of a strategy that also includes emailing and calling prospects, to increase their chances of finding the ideal partner and expanding to new markets.

Why using LinkedIn to contact leads is so efficient?

Trust and Credibility: People often view LinkedIn as a trusted platform for professional interactions. When reaching out through LinkedIn, your message may be perceived as more credible compared to emails, which can sometimes be associated with spam or phishing.

Professional Networking Platform: Users on LinkedIn are more likely to expect and engage with business-related messages compared to personal email accounts.

Professional Profile Visibility: On LinkedIn, users typically have detailed professional profiles that provide a comprehensive overview of their professional backgrounds. This information can help you tailor your outreach more effectively.

Contextual Information: LinkedIn allows you to gather contextual information about your leads, such as mutual connections, or common professional groups. This information can be valuable in personalizing your outreach and establishing common ground.

Before starting to message the LinkedIn leads, ensure your LinkedIn profile is complete, professional, and showcases your expertise. A well-crafted profile establishes trust and credibility with potential buyers who may explore your background before engaging with you. Also make sure to go the extra mile and write personalized, well crafted messages when reaching out. Basic, generic approaches have lower chances to make an impact.
