Selling into Business Operations: Tools & Tips
If you sell into business operations, you know that the little things matter. Those who are tasked with ensuring that a business (especially a large enterprise) runs smoothly and sustainably from top to bottom are detail-oriented by necessity. LinkedIn provides powerful intelligence to help salespeople understand the organizations they’re engaging with, and break through to ops departments with resonant, impactful messaging.
Reach the Ultimate Decision Makers
Operations buyers are in a unique position of authority and influence within a business. Their decisions have a large impact on how the organization runs on a day-to-day basis. Sales teams targeting these buyers need to have a deep contextual understanding of the prospect’s business, industry and surrounding dynamics. LinkedIn can lend a critical assist.

Selling to Administrative Ops
Sales leadership and sales ops
Modern sales departments are growing increasingly complex and specialized. To engage operations managers and deliver value, reps must come equipped with an advanced understanding of their organizational layout and needs. Sales Navigator helps you understand target accounts holistically and develop impactful sales outreach.
Marketing ops and customer success
These business units are increasingly intertwined with one another and with sales. Effectively selling into revenue ops often requires gaining visibility and building relationships with stakeholders in each area. Use features like Advanced Search and TeamLink to map account structures and identify key players.
Reach the Next Level
Accessing the next level of influence
Operations professionals who oversee business units such as accounting, human resources, supply chain, logistics and IT tend to be more focused on internal processes and efficiencies. Since these roles are less customer-facing than revenue ops, it’s more difficult to pinpoint who your target buyers are — without the right tools, that is.
Leading with insight is essential
The best way to break through with ops audiences is to provide clear and illuminating insight about their business, industry and customers. Not only do LinkedIn Sales Insights help you plan smarter sales operations and zero in on key opportunities, but also develop powerful messaging to support the operations of your customers.
