Russell Tobin reimagines sales prospecting.
SUCCESS STORY
The sales prospecting process at Russell Tobin typically involved hours of research that often yielded more open questions than answers. With access to real-time data using LinkedIn Talent Insights, Account Executive Trevor Cobain can now quickly qualify prospects and reach out to them armed with data that helps establish credibility.
THE CHALLENGE
Time-consuming sourcing process
Cobain was looking for a more strategic and efficient way to source new clients for recruiting and staffing firm Russell Tobin. The typical process involved hours researching prospects and collecting anecdotal feedback, resulting in a lot of open questions.
THE SOLUTION
Establishing credibility with data
Cobain can immediately assess workforce challenges and skills gaps at target companies with real-time data using LinkedIn Talent Insights. He starts by searching for employees who possess a particular skill and identifying where they currently work. He then examines each company’s growth rates, number of open jobs, and attrition rates. After qualifying prospects, he includes this data in his outreach, which adds credibility and demonstrates his understanding of the company’s core hiring challenges.
