What is social selling and why LinkedIn is the best B2B platform?
Social selling is a sales strategy that uses social media to build relationships with potential customers before any sales conversation takes place. Unlike cold calling or mass emailing, social selling is built on trust, expertise, and valuable interactions.
Why LinkedIn? Over 80% of B2B social media leads come from LinkedIn. It’s the only platform where decision-makers — directors, managers, business owners — actively search for business solutions. LinkedIn Sales Navigator allows you to precisely identify these people, track buying signals (buyer intent), and build relationships at scale.
The problem: Most sales teams use LinkedIn like a phone book — sending mass invitations and template messages. Conversion from this approach has dropped from 60% to 30% in two years. In this training, I’ll show you how to do it differently — using data, automation, and Account Based Marketing.

Who is this training for?
This training is ideal for:
- Sales teams - who want to increase the number of qualified leads and shorten the sales cycle and already have experience with LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
- Marketing departments - seeking effective channels to reach B2B decision-makers and wanting to place their product in the LinkedIn ecosystem to use it in LinkedIn Ads campaigns. We also discuss Smart Links function for sending materials to clients and analyzing effectiveness.
- Business owners and entrepreneurs - who want to personally build B2B relationships on LinkedIn.
- Sales managers - responsible for implementing Social Selling strategies in the organization, who want to adapt their current sales process to LinkedIn activities and establish realistic KPIs to achieve.
Who is this training NOT for?
I would consider my other services in the following situations:
- Empty LinkedIn account - the ability to use Sales Navigator alone is not enough if we’re going to contact from an empty account that looks like a bot account. I suggest LinkedIn marketing training or consultation then.
- Beginner LinkedIn Sales Navigator account users - in advanced training I don’t teach Sales Navigator account operation, I suggest basic training or consultations.
