Introducing two of your connections

During your use of LinkedIn – you will make many connections. Join many groups, start and join

discussions, ask and answer questions. Grow your network and raise you profile.

En-route you may spot opportunities to introduce two connections that you think would benefit from

knowing of each other.

These are golden Social Networking opportunities to be taken with both hands.

LinkedIn – Tagging your connections

LinkedIn provides some simple CRM tools to help organise your connections as you build your network.

One such tool is Connection Tagging, which allows you to order, or view, your connections by meaningful tags. This tutorial show’s how to organise and tag your connections and then how to use these tags to send targeted messages.


From any 1st degree connections profile

Click on Relationship : Tag



A list of existing tag’s appears




Scroll down and tick the

appropriate tag“Save”



And the tag is added to ‘your’

view of the profile



You can add new tags, or delete tags,

here

You can have up to 200 tags

You can only send to 50 connections at a time, so

Getting More From LinkedIn...

1. Crafting an Engaging Profile

• Your LinkedIn Profile represents your professional brand.

• Your profile may receive more first time visitors than your website.

• Ensure you are communicating your value proposition, not your resume.

• What you bring to the table and why your customers value you.

What is the most important feature of your profile?



What is the best way to use groups ?

2. Leverage LinkedIn Groups

Most LinkedIn users are members of groups, but they don’t

exactly know why! Groups are a powerful opportunity to

identify who you are looking to meet and engage them.



How can you demonstrate That You're Listening ?

3. Listen to What They are Saying

How can we engage our prospects if we don’t know what it is

they care about? You might think it’s your services and your

prices. But what I am talking about is uncovering what they

care about online and what will draw them in?



Where can you get good content ?

4. Share Content that Impresses

• The goal is to build a reputation as a thought leader & subject matter expert.

• Sharing good content is a way to prove you are the go to expert in your industry.



How can you make the best use of this ?

5. Check who has Checked You Out

I love Caller ID, don’t you? That is how I see the ‘who’s viewed

your profile’ section of your LinkedIn account. This is a

fantastic opportunity to reach out to people who have called

but have not left a message:
