3 Common Mistakes made on LinkedIn:




 • Profile: incomplete

 • Connect unprofessionally: poor etiquette

 • Don’t ask for recommendations: why?




                    www.sayconsultancy.com
1:      Profile


     • Photo:
       Chinese proverb: “One picture is worth ten thousand
       words."
       People want to network with people they can see, so
       smile, make an impression



     • Keywords:
       Maximise Keywords words think like your customer




                         www.sayconsultancy.com
2: How to Connect Unprofessionally:


  Sending an invite to Rachel




                                      Only if it is true!




                    Please don’t send the default invite




                       www.sayconsultancy.com
3: Ask for recommendations:



  • If you can justify asking someone to recommend you
    based on the work you HAVE done for them in the past

  • And if they ask for the compliment to be returned, you can
    also vouch for their work, and you are prepared to give it

  Remember

  • Recommendations on your profile = credibility



                        www.sayconsultancy.com
