LinkedIn for B2B Lead Generation: Why, When, and How

July 1, 2016

In a B2B setting, social media isn’t exactly top of mind when it comes to lead generation activities. Companies are more likely looking to things like gated content, newsletter subscriptions, webinars, and other website-based content to produce leads. That being said, social media shouldn’t be overlooked as a supplemental lead generation channel. Social networks – LinkedIn in particular – can be highly effective sources of B2B leads.LinkedIn is an obvious match for B2B. It provides a strictly business-focused environment that isn’t found on other social networks. Tools like groups, company pages, and LinkedIn publishing help companies to put their content in the hands of relevant professionals.

It comes as no surprise that over 80% of B2B social conversions come from LinkedIn.This Friday’s infographic comes from Oktopost.
