Dive summary:
- Once a profile is complete, there are still seven features on LinkedIn that every professional should be using. [see full list at Huffington Post]
- The "Signals" feature in the News drop down menu allows you to view all your connections recent activity which means connections recently active should have some free time for a catch up call.
- LinkedIn's "Get Introduced" feature allows you to contact important figures without cold calling by utilizing connections you have in common.
From the article:
"Tags are another lesser known feature that allows you to organize your connections however you see fit. LinkedIn automatically organizes your contacts based on company, location, industry, recent activity, and your relationship with that person. Additionally, you're also able to create new tags so that you can organize your contacts as you wish. Just click on the "Contacts" drop down and organize connections in a way that makes it easiest for you to reference."
