Irrespective of where LinkedIn fits into your company’s social strategy, maintaining a presence there is crucial. When used correctly, LinkedIn can serve as a powerful tool for your business, extending beyond recruitment to engage customers, share internal information with employees, and even generate sales leads.
If you’re already implementing a LinkedIn strategy to promote your business, you’re ahead of the game, but there’s a chance you’re not utilizing it to its fullest potential, possibly due to these mistakes:
Incomplete LinkedIn Profiles: Check and ensure your profile, and your employees’ profiles, are complete. Incomplete profiles send a message of carelessness and can deter potential connections.
Profiles Built for Recruits, Not Prospects: Sales reps should tailor their profiles to showcase how their skills benefit prospects, rather than emphasizing recruitment-oriented statistics.
Team Members Aren’t Networking: Encourage employees to actively network on LinkedIn to expand your reach and grow connections exponentially.
Not Participating in LinkedIn Groups: Engage in group discussions relevant to your industry to build relationships and share expertise genuinely, avoiding spammy self-promotion.
Incomplete Company Profile: Your company’s LinkedIn profile should be fully filled out, emphasizing how your offerings solve prospects’ problems and using descriptive language and keywords.
Inconsistent Company Information: Maintain consistency across all platforms and profiles to establish trustworthiness among prospects.
Not Searching for Connections: Use LinkedIn to search for various connections, not just customers, and personalize your connection requests, highlighting the benefits to them.
To make LinkedIn work for your business, start by optimizing your own profile, then address employee profiles and conduct a team discussion on LinkedIn’s role in your business growth strategy.
