Why You Need It
The benefits of LinkedIn will speak for themselves.
However, if you’re not taking advantage of everything LinkedIn offers, you can be sure your competition is.
- LinkedIn members are decision makers and key influencers. Are you getting their attention? Of LinkedIn’s 150 million users, 80% report they make or influence the key decisions in their companies.But, if you haven’t optimized your profile, established your expertise, or grown your network correctly, can you really expect them to find or listen to you?
- They’re looking for you, but they found your competition. LinkedIn members conduct billions professionally-oriented searches on the site.But, if your profile wasn’t search engine optimized, or if you weren’t participating in groups, or responding to questions in the Answers Tool, you can be sure they passed right by you … and your competition isn’t complaining one bit.
- Users trust LinkedIn more than any other social networking site. Can they trust you? LinkedIn users report having exceptionally high confidence in the information they find on LinkedIn. Compared that to Twitter or Facebook, it’s obvious that LinkedIn carries real credibility among the people who matter.But, if users can’t find you or if you have an incomplete or inactive profile, are they really going to trust you?
They’ll give your competition the leads, referrals, and exposure that could’ve easily been yours … if you knew how to use LinkedIn the right way.
