MMS #120 - How to Level Up Your LinkedIn Strategy for More Conversations in 2025

Mastering Modern Selling

This episode of Mastering Modern Selling focuses on using LinkedIn as a dynamic platform for modern sales success.
Hosts Brandon Lee, Tom Burton, and Carson Heady explore strategies to engage meaningfully on LinkedIn, emphasizing building genuine relationships rather than transactional interactions.
Drawing from personal stories and professional insights, they discuss how to transform LinkedIn into a "24/7 coffee shop" for sales and networking.
LinkedIn as a Networking Platform, Not a Sales Machine

• LinkedIn should be viewed as a space for connection, akin to a conference or coffee shop, where relationships are built gradually through meaningful interactions.
• Engaging with content via comments, shares, and strategic posts fosters visibility and credibility.

The Power of Humanity in Sales Content

• Combining professional content with personal stories (e.g., fitness achievements or life lessons) helps to humanize your presence.
• People resonate with stories, making them more likely to engage and remember you when a professional need arises.

The Importance of Strategy and Consistency

• Success on LinkedIn requires consistent engagement and strategic activities, such as following thought leaders or participating in relevant groups.
• A consistent cadence of posting and interacting helps build a reputation over time.

Leveraging Tools and Analytics

• Tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator and automation tools (used sparingly and respectfully) can enhance productivity by identifying the right audience and tailoring content for them.
• Monitoring what content resonates and adapting strategies is key to sustained success.

Building Conversations First, Selling Later

• Instead of diving straight into a sales pitch, focus on the "chit-chat" phase. This mirrors real-life networking events where rapport is built before discussing business.
• Meaningful conversations often lead to better opportunities and reduce barriers for potential clients.

This episode reinforces that success in modern sales isn't about pushing products but about connecting with people authentically.
Whether you're commenting on posts, sharing personal milestones, or engaging in groups, every interaction on LinkedIn contributes to your professional brand.
By blending human stories with professional insights and leveraging tools to fine-tune your approach, you can build trust and foster genuine relationships that lead to sales success.
