Five Time Saving Tips to Help Busy Executives Overwhelmed by LinkedIn
With nearly 900 MILLION members, LinkedIn is becoming as crowded as the Long Island Expressway in rush hour which is all the time!
It's overwhelming to navigate the feed and very easy to get sucked into rabbit holes and mine fields. Truth is most busy executives I work with just don't have the time to cut through the weeds.
Don't give up. Don't walk away. There is a way to be super efficient on LinkedIn with the right mindset.
In the article I will share some of my PRO Tips to make your LinkedIn experience as efficient as possible so you can get the most out of it to meet your objectives.
1. Check your NOTIFICATION feed first

>>> Use the 3 dots ellipse to train the algorithm
>>> To remove a notification, use the 3 dots ellipse to DELETE?
>>> On a specific post, use the 3 dots ellipse to SAVE?
>>> Bookmark SAVE shortcut to easily find: https://www.dhirubhai.net/my-items/saved-posts/
2. Check your INBOX MESSAGES
>>> Use the UNREAD filter for quick sort

>>> Once message is read, use the 3 dots ellipse to ARCHIVE
3. Check your PROFILE VIEWS?
>>> Bookmark this shortcut: https://www.dhirubhai.net/analytics/profile-views/
>>> Review & re-engage with anyone interesting.
4. Check your NETWORK Invites?
>>> Bookmark this shortcut: https://www.dhirubhai.net/mynetwork/
>>> Review any inbound invites?
>>> Only accept those who meet ideal prospect
>>> Review pending invites and WITHDRAW any that are 3 weeks or older (you can re-invite again after a 3 weeks grace period).
Remember this - Your LinkedIn Network is Your Marketing Net Worth! So build it strategically and engage often. As tempting as it is, do not SELL! Educate, inform and delight and you will attract your ideal prospects!

5. Review JOB CHANGES
>>> Bookmark this shortcut: www.dhirubhai.net/celebrations/job_changes/
>>> Review who has changed jobs in the past week
>>> Add an thoughtful acknowledge their post
>>> If you know the person well, send them a personalized direct message from your inbox
This is one of the hidden gems for business development. Job changes have a two way benefit - opportunity at the company your connect left, and a clean slate, new initiative and new budget at the company your connection just joined.
