This is pretty much what I do. I wait about 2 weeks after I submit my application to contact the person via LinkedIn. Occasionally, the HR folks will post their work emails and you can contact them directly without needing to upgrade to Premiumlunchbox said:
If you find a job on a company website, go to LI and see if they have it posted there as well. Often times, it will show you who posted it and that gives you a chance to send them a message letting them know you applied and a quick-hit on why you are a good fit for the job. You might need to pay for Premium to message them if they aren't in your network.

I've had great success with LinkedIn to connecting with customers, recruiters, finding in roads with potential customers, etc.
You get what you put into it. For 6 years I just had a profile and didn't see much of a use for it. In the last year I've actuallyput time into building/updating my profile and it's opened a lot of doors.

I've read articles about using LinkedIn for sales, but I haven't figured out the dynamic of viewing somebody's profile and then calling them. I don't want to appear to be a creeper when they get a notification that I looked at their profile and then call them in the next couple of days. Maybe it's just something I need to get over.
