🏆 Dec Community Competition: Share the #1 thing you learned that you'll take with you to 2025 [Winner Announced]

I’ve finally gotten on board using Sales Navigator in 2024. I was a bit intimidated for a long time, but this has been the year of working it out and putting myself out there.

My best tip is to truly explore all the filters - I have a very specific target group based on business size and ownership and I feel like I’ve finally cracked the code to target the right people! Although I’m still struggling to exclude particular roles consistently - I’m still getting longer lists than what I really need.

The #1 thing I learned that I take with me to 2025 is- The power of including various types of content using the Smart Link functionality. I will continue to remind our users of the power of Smart Links and how they can leverage to send videos, websites, slides, demo videos etc. Thus making the content personalised, relevant and accessible to the prospect/client receiving it.

And the power to see what content has resonated with the audience and how much time they have spent going through the content

The power of the LinkedIn Sales Community!!! 🫂🚀

​@SP_2023 the Smart Link functionality is still my favorite feature even though I no longer have access to it. There is so much power in Smart Links when used strategically.

I am taking the power of Sales Navigator into 2025. I have used Sales Navigator in many different ways this year and grateful to have access to this tool. Sales Navigator has helped me in my job search, in securing clients, in finding qualified AND interested volunteers (before LinkedIn added the “I’m open to volunteer” feature), and more. 

The Number one thing I have learned that I will take in to 2025 and beyond is in the power of leveraging LinkedIN and Sales Navigator to start a meaningful conversation. The opportunity for authentic, meaningful, personalized relevant conversations that add value mutually are what makes the difference.

Learn from yesterday, but don’t dwell on it. Stop waiting until tomorrow as it will never come. Be intentional with your actions today and take little actions towards your ideal outcome. Consistency over time will get you there. 

The one thing I learned would be: act as human in the AI era. 

The one thing i learned is to always be prepared before any conversation, be empathic with everybody and get to know the other, so at the end, also here in Sales Navigator, we can be trustable and HELP.  That is at the end what we always need to look for. 

A big thing that I learned in sales navigator but also in normal LinkedIn is to do and not just look! 🚵🏼
