Slowly and steadily, LinkedIn has grown, improved and emerged to be the best “social” media platform for Executives, Managers, Salespeople, Professionals and Career Seekers - hands down!
Not a bad question but think about it. Facebook is the consumers’ place to socialize and chat. It’s a place to share light hearted material and let your hair down. It’s akin to vacations, backyards and flip-flops. The vast majority of users are purely social users.
A complete profile will position you as someone who is serious about online business networking. This isn’t Facebook, this is the place for professionals!
The secret to getting recommendations is giving them first. Go to yours.
Here’s where you start to build your profile. Insurance sales people always begin with friends and family. Do likewise on LinkedIn
This is where you need to spend some time to dig into your contacts and search out people with whom you’ve worked, gone to school, done business, called on; your customers, prospects, suppliers, colleagues, associates, club members…etc. Linked In offers great search capability – you can narrow down fields by geography, industries, groups, titles, etc.
Again, these points of information are pure gold for salespeople – conversation starters that steer your conversation toward what your prospect would rather initially talk about than your product or solution!
