Instructions in this video:
2. Repost with your thoughts" from your company page (once a month).
Pro tip: ask your page admin / social media or marketing manager to prep an email with instructions on what to do and how, as well as WHY.
3. Ask them to invite their connections to FOLLOW your company page.
Note: this requires them to be an Admin on your page OR to have your page linked in their experience section (LinkedIn sees them as an "employee").
4. Encourage them to engage with your page (video coming soon). HOW?
-- Click "Like" or another reaction to page posts
-- Once a month, add a thoughtful comment to a recent page post
-- Occasionally -- and when relevant to a conversation, share a page post with a connection
