How to Effectively Narrow Your Searches on LinkedIn

Do you know how to effectively narrow your searches on LinkedIn? Business owners and sales professionals search LinkedIn for potential clients and referral partners. Job seekers search to learn about companies and those in charge of hiring for them. LinkedIn provides several filters that will help you to narrow any LinkedIn search. These are: years of experience, function, seniority level, company size and when joined (meaning when they joined LinkedIn.) There are other filters available only if you pay for either the Sales Navigator or LinkedIn Recruiter option. To help you get more specific results, use a Boolean search. The [...]

How to Achieve a Consistent Company Brand on LinkedIn

Do you know how to achieve a consistent company brand on LinkedIn? Although company management can’t dictate how an employee or contractor uses LinkedIn, they can provide useful guidelines. Recently, I worked with a Denver-area company on their brand consistency on Linked. Together, we developed a set of guidelines for everyone associated with the company to use on LinkedIn. Of course, guidelines of this type can also be applied to Facebook or other social media sites.   Suggestions for an Employee’s or Contractor’s LinkedIn Profile Employees or contractors should use the company-recommended background image. This image could have the company’s [...]

The Value of Sharing and Schmoozing on LinkedIn

Many people aren’t aware of the value of sharing and schmoozing on LinkedIn. Some people don’t realize the value of using these features of LinkedIn. Others might want to use them, but they don’t know how to do so. In case you haven’t heard of the word “schmooze,” it comes from the Yiddish word schmuesn which means “to chat.” Synonyms for schmooze are talk, converse, mingle, mix, hobnob, or network.   Why Some People Don’t Share on LinkedIn They don’t know it’s even an option to share something on LinkedIn. They don’t see the point of sharing. They don’t know [...]

Keep Up with Messages Received on Facebook and LinkedIn

Do you make a point to keep up with messages received on Facebook and LinkedIn? This is one of the most important things to do if you want to get the most out of either of these sites. Some people will communicate with you through these rather than by sending an email. These folks may be clients, potential clients, and/or other business connections. You may very well lose out on opportunities with these folks if you miss their messages. The examples listed below all happened in the last month. They will help you to get an idea of the value [...]

Use LinkedIn to Prospect for New Business Opportunities

Do you use LinkedIn to prospect for new business opportunities? Recently I showed a client relatively new to using LinkedIn some ways she could use it to prospect for more clients. She was thrilled, having never considered doing prospecting on LinkedIn before. When we were done, she told me she thinks that strategic and focused prospecting on LinkedIn will be a good use of her time. In fact, she decided to spend less time at networking events and groups and more time on LinkedIn. She raises an interesting point. Unless you find just the right fit in terms of networking [...]

Why Using Native Video on LinkedIn is So Important

At this point you may be wondering – what is native video on LinkedIn? Or even – asking yourself, since when does LinkedIn have this type of video option? After hearing Viveka von Rosen speak on the importance of using native video on LinkedIn, I realized I need to start using this feature more.   Who is Viveka von Rosen and What is Native Video? Simply, native video is video that is created specifically for LinkedIn rather than uploaded from another site. In his December 22, 2017, article in the blog Social Media Examiner, Michael Stelzner quotes Viveka saying, “LinkedIn native [...]
