1. SSI
Social Selling Index
LinkedIn's Social Selling Index (SSI) is a measure of how effectively you use LinkedIn for social
selling and building professional relationships.
It's intended to help you understand and improve your performance on the platform in the context of
sales and networking. Your SSI score is calculated based on four key pillars, each representing a
different aspect of your LinkedIn activity.
