Tip: How to use for Business
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.
