Qualify more leads.

For sales professionals, implementing a Setmore-LinkedIn meeting scheduler cuts down on the back-and-forth. There’s no need for the ‘When are you available?’ emails when a prospect reaches out. Create a service (e.g. for demos or presentations), share your calendar on LinkedIn, and let potential customers book without hesitation.

According to Marketing Donut, 80% of sales require 5 follow-up calls after the first meeting. Streamline the appointment process by connecting LinkedIn with your booking software and keep prospects engaged. With no wait times necessary, they’ve less need to contact your competitors.

Pack more events.

Last year, 6.3 million members attended a virtual event on LinkedIn. With more companies now used to operating online, virtual conferences and events show no sign of slowing down. Not only do hosts cut down on location and travel costs, but their events also become far more accessible. Guest lists grow exponentially as anyone can attend from the comfort of their swivel chair ?

As online events like webinars can be more flexible and frequent, an increasing number of businesses feed them into their marketing strategies.

LinkedIn is the top-rated organic social media channel for B2B marketers (Content Marketing Institute). Booking links can be displayed in your business’ posts, staff posts, LinkedIn ads and the Events section, allowing customers to reserve seats at their convenience. Capitalize on engagement with your promotions by giving people an avenue to book tickets at any time.
