If you’re looking toschedule your messages on LinkedIn, you’re going to have a hard time finding an article that explains how to do it. To tell you the truth, I’ve searched too, and found nothing.
They all tell youhow to schedule a post on the network.
As a result, it’s hard to know that scheduling your posts is possible, but it is! So it was my duty to inform you, and to write down the steps to follow ?!
Scheduling your messages on LinkedIn: why it’s important, best practices
Before we explain how to do this, let’s go over the basics.Scheduling a message means that you will automatically recontact someone via LinkedIn messaging at a specific date and time (which you have defined in advance).
It’s great if one of your prospects, recruiters or contacts (depending on your sector of activity) tells you that they’re very busy at the moment, and that you’d better contact them by the end of the month. We all have that kind of potential customer, whose attention is hard to capture.
So you vacillate between wanting to contact him again, fearing it will look like harassment, and forgetting to do so. You’ve already got 1,000 things to think about for the day, so putting alerts in your diary – no thanks, let’s spare ourselves that.
Programming your messages allows you to :
- Save time.
- Better organization.
- Expand your network, and avoid “losing” a future customer.
- Keep the conversation flowing.
- Promote your image by demonstrating your professionalism (gain credibility).
Best practices before scheduling your messages on LinkedIn
When you program your message on LinkedIn, you’re automating your action. So you need to make sure your message looks personalized, so that the person you’re talking to doesn’t just think “Oh wow, he thought of me, even a month later”.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
- Don’t write a pamphlet! You’re just getting back in touch, so take it easy and arouse his curiosity.
- Check in with him rather than telling him about you and your products.
- Ask him if he’s managing to keep his head above water, if everything’s going well for him; pamper him, people love attention.
- Remember to put things in context: if your message is scheduled for 2 months from now, they may not remember you. Avoid writing as if you’d spoken the day before.
- Finally, use keywords that let him know you have the same business needs.
For example, if you are both in marketing, you could write :
Hello [First name],
I’m here with the news.
I hope that marketing development at [Company name] remains just as interesting, but I’d like to give you a little more time to discover the latest Growth Hacking tools.
I look forward to hearing from you,
