What is LinkedIn?
“LinkedIn is an interconnected network
of experienced professionals from
around the world, representing 170
industries and 200 countries. You can
find, be introduced to and collaborate
with qualified professionals that you
need to work with to accomplish your
goals.”
What is LinkedIn?
The unique experience you have
gained coupled with the unique
relationships you have carefully
developed gives you a tremendous
advantage over the person who
does understand the tool but is only
beginning to gain experience and
develop professional relationships.

Networking 2.0 - LinkedIn

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. You will be 40% more effective if you complete your profile 100%.
  2. You will be 40% more effective if you complete your profile 100%.
  3. You will be 40% more effective if you complete your profile 100%.
  4. This is likely to get a lot of people ’s attention, as it shows the potential to generate real business leads and referrals through LinkedIn. In an infographic released by LinkedIn to show the real make-up of LinkedIn members, they revealed that over 80% of members on there are the decision makers in an area of business in their organisation. Focused marketing efforts on LinkedIn can generate real results if you invest time in building relationships, evidenced by the significant amount of key decision makers on the site.
  5. Everyone has unique experiences that we bring to the marketplace. Education, jobs, culture, interests, etc. None of us has walked the same path or encountered the same people, we have each developed a unique set of relationships. It is the foundation of our friendships, business partnerships, and customer bases. Tools can be anything that helps accelerate or “power up” your ability to accomplish your goals. We can be reluctant to try new things despite the fact they may be faster, better, or even cheaper. The old paper address book, our old tool, worked just fine. But eventually we switched tools to maybe Outlook.
  6. You can create your own unique URL Add to email signature, business cards, letterhead, etc
  7. Recommendations are a critical element of your profile.
