Contenu connexe Plus de Bruce Bennett (20) LinkedIn Sales & Marketing - March 20143. Your Profile Headline or “UVP”
Most people have a headline that simply states their position. But
that doesn’t tell people why they should connect with you. It
doesn't tell them how you add value, and it doesn't tell them how
you can solve their company's problem.
You need to learn how to set yourself apart. You need to prove
that you are a thought leader. You need to show that YOU are
the expert.
Your Headline should include keywords, your picture, and your
Unique Value Position (UVP)

21. Boolean People Search Terms
Boolean searches - The site doesn't support wildcard searches, but you
can use advanced search operators and Boolean logic. You can
also use these Boolean search types to refine your results:
Quoted searches - For an exact phrase, enclose the phrase in quotation
marks (e.g. "product manager").
NOT searches - To exclude a particular term, type that term with an
uppercase NOT immediately before it (e.g. NOT computer).
OR searches - To see results that include just 1 of 2 or more
terms, separate those terms with an uppercase OR (e.g. sales OR
marketing).
AND searches - To get results that include 2 or more terms, you can use
the upper-case word AND as a separator (e.g. manager AND
director). Note: You don't need to use AND. If you search 2 or more
terms, you'll automatically see results that include all of them.
Parenthetical searches - To do a complex search, you can combine
terms using parentheses. For example, to find people who have "VP"
in their profiles, or have director AND division in their profiles, type: VP OR
(director AND division).
