Lead Unlocking and Premium Leads (Basic Membership)

Each day you can unlock a limited amount of leads.

If you have used the daily limit or the lead you try to unlock is a new premium lead, there will be a padlock icon next to that lead’s photo, indicating it’s locked status.

For new premium leads there is a 36-hour cooldown before these leads can be unlocked that you will see as a countdown timer when you open a locked premium lead.

You can instantly unlock any lead by Upgrading to a PRO Membership.

Yes. PRO Memberships allow you to create multiple profiles that can be used for different reasons (sales, employment, networking, dating etc.). Once you have upgraded your account, simply visit your Account in the top right corner and click ‘Add Profile’.

Opportunity has the ability to notify you (and your LinkedIn contacts) each time there is an opportunity to do business. This can be in the form of employment, sales and networking opportunities. LinkedIn currently does not provide you with a window into which of your LinkedIn contacts is in need of your product, service, skills or who people who have similar interests as you and more. Opportunity is the tool you need to discover hidden value within your LinkedIn network. To invite your contacts Click Here. To learn more about uploading your LinkedIn contacts watch our video tutorial

To add more regions, you’ll need to edit your profile. To edit your profile(s), click the arrow next to your name in the far right corner of your user dashboard. Then, select the profile you would like to add more regions to (Sales Lead, Networker, Job Seeker, Hiring Manager). You will see three (3) options on the top of your page; Your profile type, Settings and Statistics. Click on Settings. You will now be able to ‘Add a additional Region or regions’. Basic Members can add 5 regions. PRO Members can add 20. Make sure you hit the save button at the bottom of the page to update your changes.

Email our support team at [email protected] and request to have your industry or skill added. If your request is in high demand, we will quickly add it to our list of options. Note: You may not receive leads for a few weeks or longer until other members begin adding the new industry to their profile.

To upload/update your profile picture, click your name in the far right corner of the header. Then, select View\Edit Profile, next select the profile you wish to update. The profile menu should open and already be in edit mode, if it is not, then select Edit at the top right of the menu. Next select Upload to change your image. If the image needs cropping the select the Crop Image tool to the right of your image. Make sure you hit the Save button at the bottom of the page, or your new profile picture will not be updated.

The purpose of labeling leads as ‘Hot’, ‘Warm’, ‘Cold’ or ‘Success’ is to allow you to organize and manage your leads more effectively. Leads you’ve determined to be of high value should be labeled as ‘Hot’ whereas leads of low value should be labeled as ‘Cold’ or ‘Deleted’. Once you have had success with a lead (i.e. closed business, landed a job, etc), we encourage you to label the lead as ‘Success’.  Labeling leads is also a great way to more effectively manage your communication (mass message) between yourself and your leads. Learn more about labeling leads

To choose your email preferences, click the profile image in the top right corner and select ‘Account’ in the sub menu. Then, scroll down the page and look for ‘Email Preferences’. Here you can select which emails you wish to receive from Opportunity including daily lead alerts, weekly statistics and updates and promotions.

Next to each person’s profile is a dropdown menu with an option to label each user – “Mark As”. Within this dropdown is the ability to “Report User”. Select this option and explain why you are reporting the person. We will look into the person’s activities and make a decision whether to ban them from the network.

In order to post a Text Ad Campaign you must be a PRO Member. With PRO Membership your ad will receive up to 1,000 impressions per month. You also have the option to purchase an additional 1,000 impressions for an additional $20. Learn more about creating your text ad campaign

The mass messaging feature is a lightweight email marketing tool that allows our PRO members to send a bulk message to all of their leads (or a subset of leads) at one time. Additionally, our mass message feature also provides you with a convenient way to send an email blast to all of your LinkedIn contacts Note: You can do this 1x for Free!

How do I Downgrade/Cancel my paid membership? 
(This action does not delete account)
  • Go to your Account page inside Opportunity
  • Locate the blue “Downgrade” button at the top of the screen and click it. If you do not see a downgrade button, you are not currently paying for a membership.
  • Confirm that you would like to cancel your paid membership

 
Access after you cancel: When you cancel a subscription, you will still have access to your subscription for the remainder of time you have already paid for. For example, if you purchased a one-year subscription on January 01 and decide to cancel your subscription on July 01, you will have access to the subscription until Dec. 31. But you will not be charged another yearly subscription the following January 01.

Can you prevent my current employer from seeing my profile?
Yes! We allow you to add specific email addresses and/or company URL’s to an exclusion list within your account – which prevents specific people from being matched with you and/or becoming aware of your profile. Additionally, we provide you with the ability to prevent your profile from being indexed (searchable) on search engines such as Google, etc. You can manage all of this on your Account Settings Page.

What is the purpose of adding a ‘Pitch’ to my profile?

The ‘pitch’ area of the profile is a great way to provide users with additional information about your business and/or yourself.

You can add a ‘pitch’ to your profile by clicking your profile image in the top right corner of the header and selecting the profile you wish to edit.
