Most of our clients tell us that building a quality prospecting list can be a challenge. If you are looking to find more clients like your clients – you’ve come to the right place.

First, make a list of your favorite clients, the ones you want more of. Here are 3 of LinkedIn’s feature that can make building a protecting list a lot of fun…really!

1. People Also Viewed – When you visit your client’s profile, on the right hand column you will see “People also viewed”on the top right side. Although this isn’t perfect, often many of the others that appear here resemble the profile of your client. And, as you find others in this list that you identify as new prospects, you can click through to their profile, and it will suggest more. You will also find others within their company that you may want to connect with as well.

2. People Similar To – “People similar to” In this case, Ivonne Vidreiro is the Director of Operations at Underwriting Specialists – if I want to find more people like Ivonne, this feature is very helpful.

3. Companies People Also Viewed – Visit your ideal clients’ company pages to find other companies like them. LinkedIn let’s us know other company pages that were visited, which often are similar in industry and size. It is an easy way to build up a prospecting list.

Once you have found these prospects, simply send them a request to connect with a quick note through the BACKDOOR:
