Track who is looking at your profile

research those companies in more depth,

(following up with a phone call, e-mail or InMail).

Tip: How to use for Business

LinkedIn Groups Engage in conversations and discussions. • Seek out groups with lots of activity rather than

simply lots of members. • monitor group discussion posts and respond

with thoughtful content rather than a pitch. • The goal is to engage rather NOT sell.
