Illustration (Ist.)Jakarta -the first mistake that often we all do is, just open a Linkedin when we need work. Linkedin, the professional social networking website which currently has more than 150 million users, the site is not (only) helps us get the job done.
An awful lot of things you can do with Linkedin. Your activity on Linkedin not only benefit for your own career, but also for the company where you work. Therefore, do not be shy and afraid if caught opening Linkedin. This is absolutely not the signs that you are tired and was looking for a new job.
Delete once it's out of your mind myths, after that I will show You how the breadth of potential of Linkedin, where most of us wearing only very few of them.
I'll start by giving some practical examples. You name it, he's a sales Beatrix mainstay of our company. Beatrix almost daily open Linkedin. What does Beatrix? Certainly not looking for a job.
Every day Beatrix should make appointment with a few people for the presentation. How to find the fastest way to contact someone from a company that we target? Of course Linkedin. Beatrix is already proving more, people tend to respond when contacted via Linkedin compared to ordinary sales introductions via email.
After getting your contacts, try contacting and gaining appointment (though not all agree but most receive invitations in Linkedin profile we are after reading, rather than receive email mumpuni blast sporadically not personal), what does Beatrix?
Beatrix read profile people whom he will. From the Linkedin profile reveals quite a lot about a person at least to start a conversation with her.
Before you jump in to the business, it's good a hand in sales shows chatting casually and nurture rapport with potential prospects. From the Linkedin profile reveals what someone once worked where, where lectures, or even turns out he has a connection that is similar to ours, so that could ease strained relations in.
This of course does not apply only to sales profession, as in many other professions we also did not escape the need for networking.
The second example, the profession is also very able to take advantage of Linkedin is a reporter. Via Linkedin a reporter can penetrate to the speaker as well as a cut through to sales prospects. Via Linkedin did a reporter an intelligent can find out many things about narasumbernya reply before he meets promptly.
Although Linkedin users in Indonesia was more than 1 million people, and Linkedin have made Indonesia language version, but still many top level officials or businessmen who have yet to find a point for them to join Linkedin.
Back again, maybe they still think, Linkedin just for people looking for a job. In fact did in Indonesia become the Headhunter Linkedin Prima Donna.
For a businessman, Linkedin can be used as a means of networking the new model. Activities that used to happen in the executive club, cafe in well-known hotels are now many are switching to Linkedin.
At least I have observed for those working in the industry began utilizing digital networking model. They are connected in groups according to the industry, give you the latest updates, build the image and networking.
Businesses can establish a direct relationship with the business owner or management company that became target, follow the company page so know the update activity.
If the company that we want to hold a prospect event or to develop products for example, who knows they need a product or service that we can provide? We will be the fastest to offer our products to them.
Don't forget also that Linkedin allows companies performing employer branding (corporate branding in the eyes of employees and prospective employees) to attract potential candidates to join our company.
And for individuals, of course Linkedin is a means of personal branding is very good. Fill in your profile as complete as possible, one of them because if we fill a Linkedin profile with complete, chances are we have a Linkedin profile will appear in the first sequence of search results Google with keyword names. Nowadays more and more recruiters who do background check by updating the google name candidates.
In addition through Linkedin you can obtain updates in your industry, contribute by giving your views, build Your authority in Your field, connected to the network and control your professional, so, when it came time, all it will come back on you. You will reap the results of what you sow.
The recruiters often preferred the passive candidate (candidate is not being actively seeking employment) rather than active candidate. With always up to date on Linkedin, wait just call from your career leap next.
So, don't just use Linkedin to find a job, but use Linkedin to job searching for You!
