At the beginning of 2022, LinkedIn currently has over 800 million users, among whom there are 65 million key stakeholders. Numerous regional and international meeting planners can be found among them. In our experience, LinkedIn is the most effective sales and marketing tool. It is lightyears ahead of other social media platforms, given its impressive lead to sale conversion rate. The innovative LinkedIn Events function contribute tremendously to its successful business model.
Using LinkedIn is inevitable for anyone in the meetings industry. Nonetheless, we need to learn how to use everything LinkedIn offers and what makes it one of the best marketing tools on the market. The saying More Contacts – More Contracts is undoubtedly true for LinkedIn.
For our clients’ needs, we have been preparing a selection of LinkedIn influencers for the past few years. The list comprises individuals who have more than 5000 followers and a high Social Selling Index, which you can check for your LinkedIn profile at www.linkedin.com/sales/ssi. All of the all-star profiles on our list have an index higher than 70.
Thus, it is our honour to share the list of the top 30 LinkedIn influencers for the premier time with the readers of Kongres Magazine:
