Do you have a lot of LinkedIn connections?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have a treat in store for you today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might not know this, but after removing the feature for so long, LinkedIn decided to bring it back as users were clamoring for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide will show you how to export LinkedIn contacts, leverage your connection list, and enhance your lead omnichannel lead generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The thing is, LinkedIn always used to have this feature, but they removed it because a lot of their users were frequently abusing it. There were even companies selling off the data that they were getting from their exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, they had to listen to their users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, they brought it back, and it’s probably one of the most underrated features on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exported LinkedIn data allows you to have a backup of your connections if you ever lose your LinkedIn account or have it compromised in any way. This means you always have a contact list that’s not linked to LinkedIn in the case of a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The information that you get is actually robust enough to use in CRMs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the usual backup and audit use, exporting your LinkedIn data allows you to leverage it for advanced lead generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use this data to enrich your customer profiles, perform analytics and enhance your omnichannel marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Say you’re running a LinkedIn campaign that compromises lead nurturing via posts and a direct campaign using LinkedIn messaging, you can now expand to include a Facebook retargeting campaign because you have their emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digital marketers know that emails are powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, exporting your LinkedIn contacts goes beyond leveraging email addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not all of your contacts will allow you to grab their email addresses, but it will still give you a wealth of information about your prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You get their positions, companies, and when you connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s enough to run an enrichment campaign on a third-party platform since you already have enough to work on, and you don’t have to keep visiting individual LinkedIn profiles to pull information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, if you do get their emails, then great. You can run more advanced campaigns without having to leave the comfort<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, you want to click on your profile in the upper-right-hand corner of your feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
