Having a presence on LinkedIn is a MUST for all businesses.
Having a structured and optimized presence for all your employees is important because they are brand ambassadors for your company.
Most employees don’t recognize the value of the world’s largest professional networking site or they may be too afraid to make changes to their profile.
If their profiles aren’t complete and they aren’t using this powerful resource to its fullest potential, your business is missing out on a huge opportunity.
The top 6 areas you should be focusing on:
- Ensuring all your staff have reached 100% completion.
- Aligning the content so it fits with your company’s unique selling proposition.
- Leveraging specific keywords for your industry and customizing for each staff member.
- Providing guidance on appropriate and relevant status updates.
- Allowing your staff to leverage each others connections to help turn cold calls into warm introductions
- Showcasing employee testimonials about how much the love working at your company
Getting a unified presence across the entire company is a smart way to leverage this powerful sales-generating tool.
As you can see through the statistics below, there is great value in social engagement.
Social Media is no longer a “nice to have” element of your marketing and sales. It’s a must-have.
Ensure you are using these tools properly to maximize your presence properly.
