Linkedin is today the most relevant social network for professionals and entrepreneurs. With a series of networking tools, the largest job bank in the world and an algorithm that increasingly favors professional interactions between its members, it is no exaggeration to say that being on Linkedin, at least in some segments, is indispensable.

In fact, if you really want to master marketing and sales strategies, I recommend that you specialize with one of the best Growth Marketing courses in Brazil.

What many people don't know is that Linkedin allows any user to export a file with all the emails (and various other less relevant data) from their network of contacts.

And this opens up countless possibilities within marketing and sales. Just for the main three:

• create an email list to send newsletters and offers;
• import contacts into a CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) for commercial approach;
• create lookalike and/or remarketing audiences for ads across different media.

Obviously, the success of each of these actions will depend on other factors, and not just the list itself. If you send a generalized offer, without any level of personalization, to an email list that you just exported from Linkedin, for example, you will hardly get any results.
