8 Easy Ways To Promote Your Business On LinkedIn

8 Easy Ways To Promote Your Business On LinkedIn | All About LinkedIn | Scoop.it

LinkedIn isn't just a place for personal promotion and career networking — businesses can do a lot on the professional network. In Dan Sherman's Maximum Success With LinkedIn, that point is stressed heavily.


LinkedIn looks a lot like Facebook, but with a targeted audience that companies can take advantage of. The best part: many of the solutions for increasing the presence of your business on LinkedIn are free and easy to use.


And many of them you are probably already doing in other social media, just not on LinkedIn.

A Comprehensive Look at LinkedIn's Seven Million Canadian Users - Techvibes.com

A Comprehensive Look at LinkedIn's Seven Million Canadian Users - Techvibes.com | All About LinkedIn | Scoop.it

LinkedIn now boasts more than 200 million users.

We know that seven million of those are Canadian. But LinkedIn doesn't really break down stats beyond that. 20% of Canadians use the professionally oriented social networking site, but what do we really know about these members? Not a whole lot.

 

Edmonton's FixedSocial decided to change that. The digital marketing consultancy broke down a bunch of data on Canadian users to provide us with one of a comprehensive look at LinkedIn members in Canada, building a custom infographic exclusively for Techvibes.

Why Top Sales Reps Will Be Unemployed In 2 Years

Why Top Sales Reps Will Be Unemployed In 2 Years | All About LinkedIn | Scoop.it

Here's the problem:

 

The buying environment has dramatically changed.  Most sales forces, however, have failed to adapt – especially at the Rep level.  It may be 2 years, it may be 5 before they are unemployed. It will be because of obsolescence – a failure to evolve with the market. We always see some Reps get left behind because they didn’t evolve. It didn’t matter how much training or communication they received – they were simply “old dogs that couldn’t learn new tricks.”

Anita Windisman's comment, May 2, 11:08 AM
Hugh, Yes it's a bold statement...I agree with the essence of the article. Sales has always been about "relationships" - meaning that people like to do business with those that they know, like and trust. The difference is that now the tools have changed, so there's no excuse for going in "cold" into any situation - either information-wise or relationship-wise.
Chris Lentzy's curator insight, May 4, 7:09 AM

I do believe this

Chris Lentzy's curator insight, May 4, 7:16 AM

I do believe this.  The reality is that "good" salesman have become too expensive to employ and there are alternatives available. While it wont happen right across the board, there will be a shift in this direction.

Your Biggest LinkedIn Mistake Can Be Easily Fixed

Your Biggest LinkedIn Mistake Can Be Easily Fixed | All About LinkedIn | Scoop.it

The number one mistake you are making with LinkedIn is the generic use of LinkedIn invitations – invitations and responses to invitations. If you are not leveraging this feature, then you are leaving ‘relationship currency’ on the table. Using LinkedIn invitations is the best way to start, revive or expand your business connections to help you build your social brand.

Anita Windisman's insight:

Without a doubt, a "generic" invitation request is one of the biggest pet peeves I hear from our clients....

Dawn Matheson's curator insight, April 18, 2:52 PM

LinkedIn is a powerful peer-to-peer tool. It's more than just a way of "finding jobs." There are very active communities where you can exchange ideas.
