Follow the steps below to generate qualified franchise leads using LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

1. Define your ideal buyer personas for your franchise

First and foremost, define ideal franchise buyer personas for your ideal buyer. Define their personal background such as age, and level of education; professional background with the type of industry experience, job title/responsibly, and skills; motivations to own a business; entrepreneurial accomplishments to list a few. List qualities of your most successful franchise owners and model after them. Remember, you must know who you are looking for before you look for them.

2. Enrich & optimize your LinkedIn Profile to attract ideal buyers

Your LinkedIn profile allows you to attract and land your ideal buyers. Content is an essential aspect of attracting buyers. Add quality contents in your profile for your ideal clients. Inform them why they should be interested in your brand and address their concerns, and most frequent questions. Your profile should make it obvious for your potential buyers how they can be successful in buying your brand.
