LinkedIn InMail is one of the most basic yet useful features for businesses. InMail allows you to send messages to other users on LinkedIn, without having to connect with them first. You don't even have to belong to the same group to send them a message! LinkedIn describes InMail as "private messaging that allows you to contact any user on LinkedIn without having to introduce yourself or provide contact information." An InMail message can be sent both from a user's profile and from search results in LinkedIn Recruiter.
InMail is different from regular messaging because you don't have to be directly connected to a person to interact with them.
Where to get InMail from?
It is available to companies and users who pay for it through LinkedIn Premium or LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It is certainly one of the most valuable tools LinkedIn Premium provides.
What are the benefits of using InMail?
First, you can connect with potential business partners through LinkedIn. You can also look for potential influencers to help promote your business through their social channels. Finally, you can also look for potential employees you want to hire. For Premium Business users, LinkedIn explains that InMail is as much as 2.6x more effective than email or cold calls!
InMail is the perfect tool for any company that wants to generate contacts, and an easy way to potentially sell products and services!
