The charts above represents a regional view of SSI. Because the LinkedIn "Sales Definition" (who constitutes as a sales person) changes, we only display a time series view of SSI for members who were deemed as Sales Professionals back in January 2015. By doing this we
are comparing apples to apples and are able to truly measure growth in SSI.
