# Example demonstrating integration of LinkedIn data with Google Cloud AI for sales optimization
from linkedin_v2 import linkedin
from google.cloud import prediction_service_v1
# LinkedIn and Google Cloud setup
application = linkedin.LinkedInApplication(token='YOUR_TOKEN_HERE')
client = prediction_service_v1.PredictionServiceClient()
# Fetch potential sales lead profile from LinkedIn
lead_profile = application.get_profile()
# Predictive model logic
project_id = 'your_project_id'
model_id = 'your_model_id'
# Prepare data for prediction
instance = {'features': lead_profile['industry'], 'company_size': lead_profile['company']['size']}
# Obtain predictions on lead conversion
response = client.predict(name=f'projects/{project_id}/models/{model_id}', payload=instance)
print("Predicted conversion likelihood:", response.predictions[0])
