Bardeen's playbook enables sales professionals to seamlessly save LinkedIn company profiles as new accounts in Salesforce, thus enhancing their sales prospecting capabilities. Utilizing this workflow, sales teams can easily capture valuable company information without manual data entry, allowing them to focus on creating meaningful relationships and closing more deals efficiently.

Here's how this workflow saves a LinkedIn Company as a new Salesforce Account:

  • Step 1: Scrape LinkedIn Company Information - The Scraper is used to extract company information from the LinkedIn company about page right from the active browser tab.
  • Step 2: Split Company Data - After scraping, the company's data is split to organize the information effectively. For instance, the number of employees listed on LinkedIn is separated for further processing.
  • Step 3: Select Data Item - From the split data, a specific item, such as the first element, is selected to be used in creating the new Salesforce account.
  • Step 4: Convert to Numeric Value - Any text representing numeric values, such as the number of employees, is converted to a number to ensure data consistency within Salesforce.
  • Step 5: Create Salesforce Account - Finally, with all the necessary information processed and formatted, a new Salesforce account is created using the company's name obtained from LinkedIn.
