Editor's Notes
- Step 3: know the difference between endorsements and recommendations Be judicious with their use (both giving and receiving) How to request/ best practices in requesting recommendations: Recommendations must come from users on LinkedIN, within LinkedIn Drag and drop sections to reorder Send with specifics and a “how to” blurb
- Finally, a few tips on thoughtfully building out your network. Best practice suggestion--keep to those with whom you’ve had or plan to have actual contact. Treat it like a networking function. As in personal networking, use your connections as a bridge to connections you want to make Use the built in tools through the “my network” tab to review potential network connections from various past experiences—alumni, work, groups Utilize the “degrees of connection” on your home page— Utilize company pages and the associated employee and group pages
- Little known trick? You can also use your interest area to generate hyperlinks to others with the same interests. This is particularly helpful for boards (recruiting, researching), fundraising or event invitations, groups Example here, boxing (board, event invites)
- LinkedIn CRM function
- Tag your connections for easier sorting and use
- Using groups for various purposes: Establishing thought leadership Industry trends Networking Partnerships …sales?
- Goals—monitor updates status, this is an opportunity to see who’s interested, approachable, the interest in a particular topic
- Drilling into that just a bit deeper, you can see who, specifically, is interested in your update and this allows you a follow up opportunity if that makes sense/is desired
- I like to track profile views and update views to give me an overview of how my updates and etc on LinkedIn are working toward my goal of networking, but metrics become more important when you are going to use LinkedIn for things like establishing “thought leadership”, tracking interest in your products or services or publications, or making this a part of your sales pipeline, for example. Suffice to say LinkediN does have built in metrics for the free version which will cover many needs; the paid version offers more, but don’t go with the paid version until you’ve established a baseline free profile at a minimum and researched whether the costs of paid offset your goal.
