- Your headline should be a catchy phrase of the value you add to your target market.
- Your about section should explain the value you and your business bring to the table and why they should want to connect with you. There needs to be a call to action throughout this section.
- Fill out any section in your profile that explains your story, who you are, and the value you bring. The more complete your profile is, the better.
- Use the featured section to add links or any media that will reinforce your call to action.
- Calendly is a great tool to allow people to connect with you.
Make warm connections. Similar to networking face to face, you want to use LinkedIn the same way electronically.
- Always send a message with your connection request
- Include why you want to connect, how you can add value to them, and how they could help you.
- Once the connection is made, make sure you send a follow-up message thought LinkedIn thanking them for the connection, reinforcing the reason for connecting, and let them know you would like to add value through email.
- Create and send a series of emails that add immense value to them and their business through your personal strengths and the strengths of what your business offers.
