    ENGLISH WILL FOLLOW

    Jouissez d’une plus grande notoriété B2B sur LinkedIn et Reddit grâce aux conseils avisés de Peter Sabapathy, de Bane Consulting Services.
    Cet atelier va au-delà des conseils de base pour vous apprendre à attirer des clients potentiels sérieux, à renforcer votre crédibilité et à vous engager de manière authentique dans les communautés où se trouvent vos clients potentiels.
    Ce que vous apprendrez
    1. Optimisation du profil
    Créez des profils LinkedIn convaincants, tant pour les marques personnelles que pour les marques d’entreprise.
    Concevez des profils qui s’adressent directement à vos clients potentiels cibles et attirent l’attention voulue.
    2. Démarchage de clients potentiels (sans pourriels)
    Utilisez LinkedIn Sales Navigator et des outils gratuits pour créer des listes intelligentes et ciblées de clients potentiels.
    Découvrez comment Reddit peut générer des signaux d’achat sans recourir à des messages directs impersonnels ni à des techniques de vente agressives.
    3. Réseautage et engagement communautaire
    Connectez-vous de manière stratégique avec des profils idéaux sur LinkedIn sans être insistant·e.
    Engagez-vous efficacement auprès de communautés Reddit en apportant de la valeur ajoutée, et non en faisant de la promotion.
    Repérez les subreddits où traînent vos acheteurs et engagez des conversations authentiques.
    4. Création de contenu qui renforce la crédibilité
    Créez du contenu qui inspire confiance et suscite l’engagement sur LinkedIn et Reddit.
    Positionnez-vous comme leader·euse d’opinion tout en respectant la culture de chaque plateforme.
    Pourquoi participer ?
    LinkedIn est sans rival en matière de visibilité B2B et de génération de clients potentiels, tandis que Reddit fournit des informations sincères sur les besoins des acheteurs. En participant à cette session, vous apprendrez à renforcer votre visibilité B2B sans avoir recours à des messages directs intrusifs.
    À qui s’adresse cette session ?
    • Aux fondateur·trice·s et chef·fe·s d’entreprise à la recherche de commentaires authentiques, et non d’indicateurs qui flattent la vanité
    • Aux professionnels de la vente souhaitant établir des relations authentiques
    • Aux spécialistes du marketing visant à accroître leur portée et leur crédibilité au sein de communautés influentes
    • À toute personne souhaitant utiliser Reddit et LinkedIn de manière éthique pour démarcher des clients potentiels et susciter l’engagement
    Intervenant : Peter Sabapathy, spécialiste en solutions d’IA chez Bane Consulting

    *****

    Discover how to elevate your outreach on both LinkedIn and Reddit with expert guidance from Peter Sabapathy of Bane Consulting Services.

    This session goes beyond basic tips — you’ll learn how to build a credible presence, generate qualified leads, and engage authentically in the communities where your prospects already spend time. Whether you're building your B2B brand or testing ideas in smaller subreddits, you’ll leave with a practical, ethical playbook for real results.

    What You’ll Learn
    1. Profile Optimization
    • Build compelling LinkedIn profiles for your personal and company brands.
    • Craft profiles that speak directly to your target prospects and attract the right attention.
    2. Lead Generation (Without the Spam)
    • Use LinkedIn’s Sales Navigator and free tools to build smart, targeted lead lists.
    • Understand how Reddit can surface buying signals — without resorting to cold DMs or hard sells.
    3. Networking & Community Engagement
    • Strategically connect with ideal profiles on LinkedIn without being pushy.
    • Learn how to engage with Reddit communities the right way — by providing value, not pitches.
    • Find the subreddits where your buyers hang out and start authentic conversations.
    4. Content That Builds Credibility
    • Develop content that earns trust and drives engagement across both LinkedIn and Reddit.
    • Position yourself as a thought leader while respecting the culture of each platform.

    Why Attend?
    LinkedIn is unmatched for B2B visibility and lead generation. Reddit is where real users talk candidly about tools, pain points, and decisions — if you know how to listen and contribute. This session will teach you how to win on both platforms without being “that guy” in the DMs.
    Who Should Attend?
    • Founders and business owners who want real feedback, not just vanity metrics
    • Sales professionals looking to connect without coming off as salesy
    • Marketers aiming to grow authentic reach and credibility in high-signal communities
    • Anyone curious about using Reddit and LinkedIn together to generate insights, leads, and engagement — ethically
