Want to make LinkedIn organic one of your best revenue-generating channels as a B2B company? I’ve been running an internal test of a small group of employees (10 of us) to test out can your employees generate revenue without talking about the company. Here are the results for the first 2 quarters 9 million content views 93k reactions 30k comments 800 shares 700 posts Not too shabby. So, how did we do using self-reported attribution to measure if it’s actually making an impact? 78 opportunities from LinkedIn (inbound only) $3 million in pipeline $600k in closed-won business If you want to talk CPM, you’d be looking at spending almost $430,000 to get this ROI. Now imagine if you had 50, 100, or 300 employees all doing this. The ROI is massive and a complete game-changer. #marketing
Holy smokes, those are some impressive numbers. Are you using Shield for the analytics, out of interest?
K. You’re finally going to get a serious response from me. 20% closed/won… $430k spend / $600k closed… These metrics either make social-at-large useless for Alyce, show a questionalbe MQL metric, or show a sales process problem. Probably all 3, as we’re talking about an ABM company - this should all be second nature; how does it compare to other marketing investment? The more interesting metric is “time spent on social” and how that equates to dollar volume; what the investment was into each piece; and replicating the results along those lines. No one questions your love of and personal success in social; but I want to know how it compares to your other channels, or at least what real investment is.
This is really interesting work. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a comparison to paid close rate vs this organic work?
Is $50 CPM a realistic number to use inside Shield Analytics?
Nick Bennett all these orders booked in the pipeline are for Alyce?
Crazy impressive Nick Bennett. Saving this to share with my colleagues. Are these 10 people SMEs in your industry or are they from a mix of teams?
Nick Bennett, so that is basically an average of 70 posts per person (2.5 per week)? That's essentially every Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday. OK. I was very firm on what to do before but this just confirmed my bias! Thanks! Love it! 😍 😎
Thanks! What’s the objective of your content? And how was the revenue generated? Through the website (book a call) or sales outreach?
700 posts and 800 shares is an impressive result Nick Bennett Was it mostly the employees who shared each other's content or mostly others on LinkedIn who shared the posts?
It's called demand Amplification. Demand is often associated with a company brand. Company brands are what you offer. Perfessional brands deliver affinity, authenticity, authority and Trust. Product Brands are the outcomes. If you have 1 company, 1 person and 1 product your Amplification is low. If you have 1 company, 2 person and 3 products, it's product led growth. But if you have 1 company, 15 people and 3 products, you have Amplification because you have 15 different audiences being pulled to 3 product brands. A factor of 15 x 3 or 45 paths to buy.
