5. Launch the Workflow: With the configuration complete, you can start the extraction process, which is designed to be quick and efficient.
Filtering and Outreach
Once you have extracted and enriched the list of followers with their emails, the next steps involve careful filtering and strategic outreach.
Filtering Leads
- General Marketing Approach: For a broad strategy, you can reach out to anyone in the extracted list with resources and information.

Upload the enriched follower data into your CRM, tagging them as LinkedIn followers. This integration allows you to distinguish between current customers, prospects, and new leads. Creating a filter view for LinkedIn followers not yet engaged in your sales cycle enables targeted outreach efforts.
Outreach Preparation
With your leads filtered and organized, you can dynamically upload them into your outreach tool. This setup allows for personalized and efficient communication with potential leads who have shown interest by following your LinkedIn page.
