Ian’s top tips for becoming a LinkedIn legend

our LinkedIn profile is like your window on the world. You can look out at potential clients through it but they can also look into your world. Therefore if your profile is sloppy and unprofessional they may take the view that that is reflective of everything you do! So ask yourself:

• Is your photo a good quality head and shoulders shot as you would be expected to be seen in a business meeting?
• Is your headline (the bit below your name) just your job title or does it tell the reader what you can do for them?
• Does your headline contain some key search words you would want to be found for?
• Are your contact details up to date and easily visible? If they can’t be found easily, or are out of date, the reader may move on to your competitor.
• Is your summary just a list of what you do or does it state the benefits they will get out of working with you?
• Does it contain value documents helping position you as a thought leader in your market place? Does it contain recommendations from satisfied clients? 3rd party testimonials sell!
