In this episode Jack and Jill discuss five of the most under utilised LinkedIn features - avoid them at your peril!1. Voice Mail Messaging Feature Within your messages inbox on LinkedIn is the ability to leave a voice mail for someone of up to one minute. You don’t have the ability to listen to it back before you send, but if you feel it was disastrous the first time you can cancel before you send it off, so just start again. 2. The LinkedIn Profile Background Cover Image This massive piece of digital real estate is often underutilised. Way too many business owners are leaving the boring default image and so many of the people that have taken the time to create one sometimes leave it there for years. 3. Invitations to Follow your Company Page One of the best new features on Company Pages is the ability for an admin to invite people from their own network to follow their company page where they work or the business they own. It’s a brilliant way for the admins to invite people from their own network to follow the page but it is restricted to 100 ‘credits’ per month. 4. 10 second Name Pronunciation If you don’t have this relatively new feature on your profile yet, don’t worry it’s being rolled out right now around the globe. Ten seconds is actually a lot of time to simply say your name which gives you the opportunity to say more! 5. Add a Note on a Connection Request This may seem like it shouldn’t be on this list but so few people actually use this feature properly. Here’s the issue, “Hi Jack, I can see we have a lot of connection in common” or “Hi Jill, we have synergy in our businesses so we should connect” is not a personalised connection request. Remember, your brand on LinkedIn is not just in the text you write about the business, the essence of your brand is in the visuals and audio too.
