>
> Dear Ann,
>
>
> in case you haven't done anything with the content from the e-book and the email tips, we would like to point out how LinkedIn could benefit you:
>
>
> 1) Finding and identifying the right people via one of the 10 ways LinkedIn offers.
>
> 2) Discovering information that can help in a conversation, meeting or network event by reading their LinkedIn Profile beforehand.
>
> 3) Maintaining relationships with your network via personal messages, sharing ideas in Discussions and helping people out in Answers.
>
> 4) Getting Recommendations which are visible to anyone, but in particular to the people who are important in your job or for your goals.
>
> 5) Receiving introductions and referrals to the people who matter to you via the introductions tool or a regular email.
>
> 6) Discovering the relationships between people by looking at your mutual connections. (Doesn't the rapport always improve when you discover a mutual contact?) This might also avoid regrettable situations when sales people from the same company call the same prospect or customer without knowing their colleagues were already connected with them.
>
> 7) Raising your visibility, reputation, personal brand, and company brand via your LinkedIn Profile, your contributions in Answers and Discussions and on the web via search engines.
>
> 8) Word of mouth publicity by receiving Recommendations, or from people recommending you in Discussions or mentioning you as the expert in Answers.
>
> 9) Getting notifications via Network Updates when someone changes jobs. This might be a good reminder to reconnect with them. Can they become a customer, supplier or partner (which they might not have been before) too? This might also provide an excuse if you are in sales to get introduced to the successor of your contact!
>
> 10) Picking up trends in the marketplace via Discussions.
>
> 11) Finding the professional organizations to join, both online and offline, via Groups, and via people's Profiles.
>
>
> Extra benefits:
>
> 12) For sales: Getting notifications via Network Updates when your customers link with sales representatives from a company that offers the same products or services as yours. This might be a time to contact your customers again.
>
> 13) For job seekers: LinkedIn offers extra tools to help. For example, you can respond easily and quickly to job postings, and use an extra job tool in your browser when surfing any website.
>
> 14) For recruiters: LinkedIn offers extra tools to help you, too. For example posting a job on LinkedIn and doing a search for references.

> If you aren't using LinkedIn yet, you might be missing out !

> To your success !
