Before you start connecting on LinkedIn, you must first ensure your own profile makes you seem approachable and qualified. Here are four helpful tips to improve your LinkedIn profile:


4 Ways to Improve Your Profile

1. Professional Headshot

Your profile picture may be a prospect’s first impression of you and your company. A low-quality, unprofessional profile photo, or no photo at all, can make it difficult for prospects to form a connection with you or gain their trust. Having a professional headshot taken to use across your business accounts will show clients and prospects you encompass the quality that your business delivers.


2. Keep Your About Info Updated

On LinkedIn, you have the opportunity to promote yourself to your connections. By keeping the experience, education, certifications, and skills sections updated, you can share why you are qualified for a for a particular role. 

 

3. Share and Create Posts Related to Your Profession

Are you posting frequently to your LinkedIn? It can be as simple as sharing a training you recently completed or a work accomplishment you are proud of to keep your connections aware of you and let new connections know more about you. Even if you do not have the time to constantly think about what to post next, you can share the ideas and posts of others that relate to your industry.  

 

4. Connect with People You Know

LinkedIn has an amazing feature that allows people to see if they share similar connections with you. Once you start prospecting on LinkedIn, it will be beneficial to have a significant amount of connections already built with those you know personally, former classmates, and past and present colleagues. Possibly having similar connections with prospects will show them you can be trusted and make you feel less like a stranger.
