In this Tactical Tuesday episode, Sam focuses on a topic we're surprised more people aren't talking about: the importance of utilizing LinkedIn InMails effectively.Aside from our belief that every recruiter should be employing a multi-channel outreach strategy (not relying wholly on LinkedIn), there's also the fact that InMails are expensive...especially when they're not being used effectively.Sam encourages recruiters to invest time in crafting personalized messages to maximize the return on their InMail credits, highlighting the unique feature of receiving credits back for responses. As always, the episode serves as a tactical guide for improving recruitment outreach.Chapters:00:00 - Podcast intro: Mastering LinkedIn InMails for better outreach01:55 - The cost of LinkedIn InMails: Plans and what you need to know03:08 - Optimizing LinkedIn InMails: Get the most from your outreach05:24 - Podcast wrap-upExplore all our episodes and catch the full video experience at loxo.co/podcastBecoming a Hiring Machine is brought to you by Loxo.
