Past methods of leads generation are usually limited to:
These are generally not only costly and time consuming, the leads obtained may also lack precision, the results are far from effective.
Getting precise leads is key to effective leads generation. Through LinkedIn, you can generate accurate leads with better efficiency and at lower cost.

Corporates and clients relationships take time to build and maintain and not all business engagements result in a deal. Often, novices make the mistakes of ineffective communication and fall out of favor with clients. Take advantage of EDM marketing features to overcome some of the common communication barriers. Unlike cold lead email marketing, EDMs is considered digital asset advertising and aimed at increasing brand awareness as well as leaving an impression.
Not only do we need to proofread EDMs for overseas business expansion, it is also vital to have a strategic plan and understand the pain points of the industries.
Plan the distribution of your EDMs so that it focuses on what you want to promote such as product and services benefits and features. Track the performance of your EDMs – open rate, click rate, unsubscribe and bounce rate, and use these metrics to further optimize your subsequent EDMs.
EDM marketing results take time to show effectiveness and requires sustained distribution of EDMs.
