Work Background
LeadIn LLCLinkedIn Coach | LinkedIn Consultant | B2B Lead Specialist
Mar. 2019George, Western Cape, South Africa · RemoteWith an absolute passion for business development and the direct effect it has on the local and global economy, I founded EVO Digital Solutions Pty. Ltd. Initially we offered all services related to digital marketing and still do but evolved into becoming a specialist lead generation agency. Through working with clients in various industries I realised that a common problem for most companies or business owners are finding high-quality leads that are likely to convert. Knowing this, I created a lead generation division within Evo Digital Solutions called LeadsIn. I am heading this division and handpicked some of my very best employees to assist me in making LeadsIn successful. Fast-forward 2 years and LeadIn LLC was born. LeadsIn specialise in leveraging LinkedIn’s powerful features in combination with our Social Selling techniques to successfully IDENTIFY, NURTURE, EDUCATE and QUALIFY quality leads for our clients. If finding high-quality leads that are likely to convert into paying customers is something you need help with, please feel free to visit my website https://leads-in.co for more information or schedule a discovery call with me through this link: https://calendly.com/dick-/leads-in-discovery-call
