  1. Objective: Highlight why people create a profile on LinkedIn as opposed to putting a resume on a job board. Demonstrate that there are passive candidate profiles on the site.
  2. <<OPTIONAL SLIDE>> Objective: More information about “How Professionals Use LinkedIn” – this slide is the first bullet from that slide.
  3. <<OPTIONAL SLIDE>> Objective: More information about “How Professionals Use LinkedIn” – this slide is the first bullet from that slide.
  4. The first step: leverage your best asset, your people. I would imagine that all of us in this room would agree that the definition of a “brand” extends well past the logo on our website or the taglines in our advertising; a “brand” is a promise of value, and that promise is disseminated through every touch point that our customers have with our company, including – and most importantly - our own people. (NEXT SLIDE)
  5. Your people should have LinkedIn profiles that show customers what types of experience, expertise, and connections your employees bring to the table. Your customers are asking: who’s managing my business, what experience does this person have with the project they’re working on, who have they done business with in the past, how am I personally connected to this person? Do we know anyone in common? These are the questions your customers are asking, and they’re going to find the answers one way or the other – why not make it easy for them? You should have a LinkedIn profile. Your CEO should have a LinkedIn profile. Your product people should have LinkedIn profiles. Your salespeople should have LinkedIn profiles – in fact, you may want to consider developing guidelines to help your employees best represent your company through their own profiles to deliver a consistent brand experience for your customers and help them win more business or help improve your company’s customer experience. You may even want to consider developing advertising campaigns that send potential customers to your people’s profiles rather than an anonymous “contact me” form. That may sound like a major change in how your current systems are designed to work, but the new customer-controlled era is truly ushering in a completely different set of rules, and the sooner you begin to embrace them, the sooner you’ll gain the competitive advantage.
  6. This is an important issue – your employees represent your company, so it helps to provide some guidelines. Here’s some guidance IBM has posted on their site.
  7. A complete and finely-tuned LinkedIn profile can help your customers get a much better understanding of the people in your company. (CLICK) Not only do these profiles display the experience your people bring to the table, but it also displays the types of questions they’ve asked, the answers they’ve provided, and the expertise they may have been awarded. (CLICK) it also showcases the recommendations this person has received, as well as those they’ve given – and the latter may be far more telling as it reveals what they value in others. (CLICK) Customers will also get a deeper understanding of how they may be connected to this specific individual, and who they’re connected to, and lastly (CLICK) they can see what other profiles people tend to look at in addition to this profile, which hopefully leads to other people in your company and greater delivery of your company’s brand experience. As you can see, “your people” can play an incredibly important role in your end-to-end marketing plans, so consider how to incorporate social networking profiles into your specific strategy. (NEXT SLIDE)
  8. And here’s an example of a smart way to leverage your people and deliver a more relevant message to prospective customers. In this case, we worked with Microsoft to define a target audience for their BizSpark program, and delivered targeted messages through LinkedIn’s InMail messaging platform. When members opened the message (NEXT SLIDE)
  9. They were greeted with a personalized message Jacob Mullins, a development manager at Microsoft, with a message about the BizSpark program. As you can see, creative was designed to feature Jacob in the ad, and Microsoft was smart to provide a link to Jacob’s profile on LinkedIn. This allowed the recipient to a) learn more about Jacob – what is his background, skills sets, recommendations, etc. and b) to see how they were personally connected to him. This brings a customer much closer to Microsoft’s most important asset – it’s people – and makes it easier for its customers to buy from them.
  10. The first step: leverage your best asset, your people. I would imagine that all of us in this room would agree that the definition of a “brand” extends well past the logo on our website or the taglines in our advertising; a “brand” is a promise of value, and that promise is disseminated through every touch point that our customers have with our company, including – and most importantly - our own people. (NEXT SLIDE)
  11. Similar to a forum, Small Business professionals look for advice and help in LinkedIn Answers. While forums are nothing new, what’s interesting about the Answers platform on LinkedIn is the concept of full transparency; when you ask a question, you’re doing it under your LinkedIn profile, as opposed to an anonymous email address or forum name. This typically results in a greater levels of depth and thoughtfulness in the commentary. (NEXT SLIDE)
  12. As part of their sponsorship of the Business Travel Answers category, Southwest Airlines decided to engage the LinkedIn community by having CEO Gary Kelly ask users “How can an Airline Make You More Productive.” (NEXT SLIDE)
  13. By most measures, the effort was hugely valuable. Over the 7 day period that the question was open, 167 responses poured in, with LinkedIn members applauding Gary’s use of the forum and providing thoughtful, indepth feedback about how the airline could truly serve them. Some of the highlights: (CLICK) Your use of this forum is brilliant (CLICK) Thanks for the opportunity for us to provide you with feedback (CLICK) excellent question and one more airline management should be asking…admittedly, I’m an American and United flier…but look what this person said at the end…perhaps its time I took another Southwest trip, eh? (CLICK) great use of LinkedIn…I LUV your airline…now, for those of you who don’t know, LUV is Southwest’s ticker symbol…so here you have a customer waving your flag in a forum of his or her respected peers. And look what he goes on to say: I have flown many, many segments on Southwest…the new boarding procedures are AMAZING…again, here you have a real person singing your companies’ praises in a public forum, where it’s easy for the members to discern how legitimate the person providing the feedback is. There are many, many more ways to engage the LinkedIn community and provide them with some value, and we’re ready to work on those ideas with you. That actually leads to the Fifth way to use LinkedIn as a marketer: (NEXT SLIDE)
  14. In addition to getting your employees to set up their profiles, consider using LinkedIn Groups. Groups not only allow members to communicate with other members with similar interests or affiliation, but they also allow members to display a group “badge” on their profile page and thus provide an additional way to help your employees display the value they can bring to a customer. For example, you may want to set up an invitation-only group for members of a “Presidents Club” and allow the employee to display that badge on their profile, giving your customers more confidence in their capabilities. You may also consider certification groups for your channel-partners to display on their profile pages. (NEXT SLIDE)
  15. The first step: leverage your best asset, your people. I would imagine that all of us in this room would agree that the definition of a “brand” extends well past the logo on our website or the taglines in our advertising; a “brand” is a promise of value, and that promise is disseminated through every touch point that our customers have with our company, including – and most importantly - our own people. (NEXT SLIDE)
  16. One of the notable aspects of LinkedIn is the fact that people use it to specifically broadcast their profile information to the world – that’s very different from some other social network models where the intent is to actually share private information with a small group of friends. LinkedIn provides the means for marketers to target and deliver display messages based on profession, seniority, industry, and company size. Now, many sites have offered “registration” targeting for quite some time, but it’s important to consider the difference between “profile” data and “registration” data. Many sites ask for registration data to access certain content, but there’s typically no real reason for the user to be honest about information they supply nor keep it updated, and as a result users typically select the default choice in each field – for this reason, many sites overindex on “Accountants” in “Alaska” in the “Automotive” industry since those are typically the first answers in the drop downs. That’s very different than the profile data on social networks, particularly professional networks where users are actively displaying their current professional status. (NEXT SLIDE)
  17. To connect with IT professionals, Microsoft designed a specific custom messaging unit as part of their sponsorship of our Information Technology Channel in LinkedIn Answers. The unit “senses” the words appearing in the Answers page and served up related answers from their own knowledgebase. In this way, they are providing relevant information to the users and made it clear that they understood why those users were in the channel they were. (NEXT SLIDE)
