“Beyond the technical tools that it gives
us and the leads that it generates,
LinkedIn’s Sales Solution has had a
big positive impact on morale at our
organisation. People are a lot more
active, lively and motivated – and that’s
a benefit you really shouldn’t ignore.”
Victor Magarino Penalba
Sales & Marketing Director, Comunycarse
The Spanish IT solutions provider is building a new sales and marketing culture
around social selling, transforming conversion rates for its core divisions and
spearheading expansion into new areas.
The sales challenge
Comunycarse is already an established player in
Spain’s enterprise content management and IP
communications sectors. Now Comunycarse has co-
developed a pioneering new technology and is taking
its business to new areas. It is high value and highly
disruptive, with a long consideration period, so to take
advantage Comunycarse needed a sales solution that
could connect it to new types of decision maker and
form a relationship with the customer.
Sales & Marketing Director Victor Magarino knew
that Comunycarse’s existing telemarketing operation
would struggle to meet the challenge. The company’s
traditional strategy of buying in databases and
repeated cold-calling was causing frustrations amongst
both marketers and sales teams, with keeping contacts
updated a challenge in itself. The business needed a
new approach that could re-focus its efforts around
quality leads, lead the launch of the new video business
intelligence technology and improve conversion rates
for its more established businesses.
Sales Solutions
Results
•	LinkedIn’s Sales Solutions has
increased conversion rates by 20%
for Comunycarse’s core enterprise
content management and IP
businesses
•	Using LinkedIn as the spearhead for
the company’s business intelligence
offer is generating 2 to 3 strong leads
every week
•	LinkedIn’s Sales Solutions has
facilitated a new way of working and
it’s had a big, positive impact on
morale

LinkedIn Sales Solutions
An initial demonstration convinced Victor that LinkedIn
Sales Solutions could provide the new approach he was
looking for: a real-time tool for connecting to relevant
decision-makers in new types of businesses, and a
platform to enable sales and marketing teams to work
more effectively together.
The ultimate real-time database
“I’m not a fan of buying databases because they become
obsolete so quickly,” says Victor. “But a live tool like
LinkedIn tells you the truth in real-time. It’s allowed us to
completely refresh our approach to CRM, and it’s been
invaluable for finding the contacts we need to sell video
business intelligence solutions.”
Advanced search has played a key role enabling the
marketing team to identify relevant contacts in retail
organisations such as Carrefour, Zara, Auchan and IKEA
who had no previous contact with Comunycarse. “Many
of these people had no idea we existed before and now
we’re in touch with them thanks to LinkedIn,” says Victor.
Connecting sales and marketing teams
“Prior to bringing in LinkedIn’s Sales Solutions, the
different elements of our business were working very
separately,” says Victor. “And there was quite a lot of
frustration between sales and marketing as to why our
activity wasn’t generating quality leads. Now we’ve been
able to bring everyone together; we’ve built multi-
functional teams around LinkedIn, sharing one another’s
connections. Because everyone is able to use the tool
it’s facilitated a new way of working – and it’s had a big,
positive impact on morale.”
Driving response through a personalised approach
By sharing one another’s contacts through TeamLink,
marketing and sales have worked together to generate
warm introductions. And by crafting personalised
approaches using InMail they’ve been able to transform
response rates. “I’m loving InMail,” says Victor. “When
you personalise and customise your message you get an
excellent response. It’s all about reaching the right person
with the right one-to-one message.”
Incentivising quality over quantity
The LinkedIn Solution has enabled Comunycarse to
redesign its incentive system around quality of leads
rather than quantity. The business now rewards its sales
teams for the number of relevant, qualified connections
they establish, and the number of meetings they are
able to book with senior decision-makers at relevant
organisations. “Every week we’re closing 2 or 3 of these
VIP meetings,” says Victor. “We simply couldn’t have
done this without LinkedIn. We’ve given our people
a way to navigate organisations and identify the most
relevant contacts, and now we’re incentivising them to
use LinkedIn’s corporate solution in the right way.”
