Have you ever said: “LinkedIn doesn’t work for our industry!”?
We have run many 1-2-1 training consultations for Company Directors on LinkedIn. Attendees leave with sure-fire training on how to get the best from LinkedIn for their industry.
And here are our top 5 tips for the Fire & Security market:
Your Headline is the most important part of your LinkedIn profile.
It’s the first thing that anyone sees about you in Google if they search for your name. And your headline is something that is easy to control so make it count!
Most of the profiles that we see say Fire Engineer or Security Director or Owner. And then the name of the Business. That’s a waste of some of your 150 characters.
Talk about your specialist areas. Fire & Security is a crowded marketplace so just adding words like Fire or Security isn’t going to make you stand out enough for LinkedIn to display your profile for searches around those keywords.
Think about the areas where you have had the most impact and mention those in your headline. Is that for the domestic market with home automation? Do your best skills lie with fire protection or access control in the commercial sector?
What problem can you solve for people? What are the benefits of working with you and your company?
Help LinkedIn and Google to understand what you do and who you can help. Then they can rank your profile in a search for that keyword on their platform.

Here’s what Fire & Security professionals need to know to achieve the best success with their B2B prospecting.
The biggest mistake we see is trying to appeal to EVERYONE.
Your ideal buyer profile defines which companies are most likely to need fire protection or commercial security systems. These are your target customers.
Buyer personas are the people working at those companies who will need to purchase your Fire & Security systems. This is your target job role.
In the olden days, before social media, prospecting for your target customers meant being a sales person like the guy in Death of A Salesman. Willie drove from town to town visiting the companies or homeowners who were most likely to need the product he was selling. It could be a long, hard, soul-destroying slog.
Or waiting for leads to be delivered to you to call from a central office. And your success was dependent on getting the best quality leads. Always Be Closing, like in Glen Garry, Glen Ross.
Or you had to network at your local Chamber of Commerce and ask someone to introduce you to your most likely prospects.
But in the 21st century there are far easier ways to prospect. Continue reading “How To Get Introduced To Your Target Fire and Security Customers On LinkedIn”
