LinkedIn is introducing its Deep Sales Platform. The professional network has launched its first deep sales platform which has opened up a new category of business-to-business (B2B) sales intelligence technology. According to the company, the technology is claimed to be a breakthrough solution for businesses as it learns from data to make predictions and recommendations at a scale that may not be possible for sellers to achieve on their own.
The deep sales launch came after a global research by LinkedIn, which revealed that only 20% of buyers are in-market for services in a given year and that makes understanding buyer intent critical for all sellers. Learn more about ‘the new superpower for sellers and commercial organizations’ here.

‘We’ve started to see signs of a shift on LinkedIn, with job postings that don’t have degree requirements up from 15% in January 2020 to 20% so far this year. And HR teams are increasingly looking beyond who you know or what school you attended to find great talent, with 40% of hirers on LinkedIn explicitly using skills data to fill their roles’, claims Roslansky.
