String Search Help Please

[Kelley Gonzalez]

Can someone help me with a good string to find executive and middle management in home health or assisted living?

I also need a string for ophthalmic medical sales reps in TX and Southern CA please

Kelley-

Here's a basic general string to find LI profiles from Google:

In GOOGLE, copy:

site:www.linkedin.com (executive | "middle management" | manager) ("home healthcare" | "home health care" | "assisted living") -intitle:directory

You didn't indicate location, however you should insert the location in the string example: "greater new york city area" (Use quotes)

Here's a basic string for the ophthalmic position:

site:www.linkedin.com ophthalmic (quota | sales | "account executive" | "business development") ("texas area" | "greater los angeles area") -intitle:directory -intitle:"company profile"

Please add titles or change titles as you see fit-

following on Gary's suggestions (excellent ones imho):

if LinkedIn, geographically include these depending on area:

"Abilene, Texas Area"
"Amarillo, Texas Area"
"Austin, Texas Area"
"Corpus Christi, Texas Area"
"El Paso, Texas Area"
"Houston, Texas Area"
"Killeen/Temple, Texas Area"
"Laredo, Texas Area"
"San Antonio, Texas Area"
"Tyler, Texas Area"
"Victoria, Texas Area"
"Waco, Texas Area"

but the linkedin keys don't always follow the city/state area convention. sometimes, as Gary mentions, it can be something like "greater [x] area"or even "city area, [x]"

with linkedin, you can also try variations of these:

(inurl:pub OR inurl:/in/) -inurl:updates -intitle:directory
etc etc

with middle management (depends as u know on size of company relative to search) but:

(manager OR supervisor OR (middle*manage) OR "team lead" OR "sr. manager" OR supervising OR head OR lead)

executive keys could be any combination of following (and/or other things i'm forgetting):
(CEO OR CTO OR CFO OR chief OR SVP OR EVP OR VP OR vice OR director OR "country manager" OR MD)

(substitute OR w/ e.g. (CEO | etc) i.e. the pipe between words/phrases, or: (says OR said OR joined OR appointed) as these relate to executives and how they're couched on internet sites)

for spoke try:

[keywords] site:spoke.com inurl:info inurl:person austin*texas
(or whatever area)

twitter/facebook/patents/cgi phone banks have their own particulars, but this (above) should be enough to keep you busy

re optho skills, follow Gary's suggestions on the skills queries

good luck!

PS for twitter try something like:

site:twitter.com "Location: Sydney, Australia" bio*=software.engineer

(replacing location and bio with relevant phrases

[Sarang Brahme]

Paul's spoke tip was really good.... We can tweak it in another way as well as most of times the bio pages have their job title in titles...

site:spoke.com inurl:info ophthalmic (intitle:sales OR intitle:account OR intitle:"business development")

For other...
site:spoke.com inurl:info (homehealthcare OR "home health care" OR "home healthcare" OR "assisted living") (intitle:manager OR intitle:supervisor)

We can add location in the same string...

Great learning experience....
