Here’s How You Can Use It"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
What if there is a way to send messages to people without having to connect with them? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s what LinkedIn InMail offers to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It might not be as fancy as the other techniques that you can deploy on the platform, but it still remains to be an option for some prospects that you want to message directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this guide, we take a look at how we can still leverage LinkedIn InMail to get to those hard-to-reach leads.<\/p>\n\n\n
It is a LinkedIn Premium feature that allows you to send a message to any person on the platform even if you are not connected. It allows you to contact someone without having to be introduced or generate contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are a LinkedIn member, you can simply send a direct message from your profile page or from search results using LinkedIn Recruiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also worth noting that InMail credits like job slots can be pooled by contract and are easily accessible to everyone on the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you avail of the LinkedIn Recruiter license, it comes with a given number of InMail credits per month. Depending on the Recruiter account you will get, the number of InMail credits will also vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Normally, InMail credits are renewed every month on the first day of your billing cycle. Credits can also be collected month after month, but you have to remember that they will expire in 120 days. It is best to make a mental note of that now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each InMail message can accommodate up to 200 characters on the subject line and 1900 characters in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interestingly, LinkedIn will give you InMail credit if your recipient responds within 90 days. LinkedIn is quite proud of the InMail feature, especially its effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The platform wants its members to see that InMail is low-risk, so long as you identify your recipients carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
