Hi John!

I’m looking to connect with marketing professionals specialized in B2B in Vienna area. I work with B2B products, helping companies of any growth cycle to increase revenue through establishing LinkedIn lead influx and turn leads into retained buyers.

I know {company_name} for quite a long time. I guess we have mutual interests: my audience can be interested in your product as well, and I’d love to see how we can be useful to each other.

LinkedIn InMail Example #5: Personalization Based On Job Title

Hi Angela,

My name is Alina, I work in Closely — first all-in-one lead engagement platform.

I saw that you in TCO specialize providing professional IT services to businesses of all types and sizes. We’ve worked with your colleagues in another market — GPC Group, Alfa Center, and Bay Lee Prod. The latter two used our software to increase lead engagement, and build sufficient sales pipelines that turned their business into a profitable enterprise-level ventures.

Closely specializes in helping B2B products and services hit revenue targets by finding & engaging LinkedIn leads on autopilot.

If you’re interested, by any chance, how this works in practice — I’d be happy to provide you a tour-around in our software. I honestly don’t like pitching and direct sales, so I’m used to look for beneficial partnership, and I see how Closely can suit TCO and how it can lead it to sufficient and stable growth.

To avoid shaking air — this is how your colleagues nailed LinkedIn outreach with our help in numbers > {{link}}.

Let me know what you think in this matter.

Have a nice day!
