LinkedIn has recently changed the way the user interface delivers your information.
Social Media Examiner highlights 6 of LinkedIn’s new features which will enable you to grow your business.
- Creating a company page using the new Rich Media tool is a MUST as it not only enhances your visibility but also your branding.
- The cool new fast Snapshot saves time as you can see whether the member is a good fit for your business.
- There is now a ‘keyword’ search facility which when searching your “connection’s connections” enables you to be strategic and proactive when asking for connections.
- To save you time in searching for connections LinkedIn now shows you a profile of a person by scrolling over their picture.
- LinkedIn’s Sharing Bookmarklet is a great tool for sharing web content to your people. You need to stay in the forefront of people’s minds and being active and trusted enables this to happen.
- Make your profile as complete as possible by adding as much information about yourself of which a tiny part could make you “connectable” to another member.
