LinkedIn Quick Tips 5 – Engage With Your Best Prospects
The more you engage with your network, the more opportunities crop up
This applies everywhere but is especially true on LinkedIn. LinkedIn can be the perfect way to place yourself front of your mind for your network.
Here’s a quick 6-step guide to making the most of engagement opportunities.
- Make a note of which of your connections you would most like to engage with
- Visit their profiles
- Scroll down the profile to see their recent activity and click on the “See all activity” button
- You can now see everything they have posted on LinkedIn recently. More importantly, you can like and comment on what they are doing
- Remember to tag them in what you write. This means your comment will appear in their notifications tab on LinkedIn and, depending on their settings, they may also receive an e-mail about it. They are more likely to see what you have written and respond
- Finally, if you create a post that may interest some of your connections, tag them here too
