Why Use LinkedIn?
You want to Grow Your Business through the Broomfield Chamber of Commerce
Your company has a membership with the Broomfield Chamber of Commerce (BCC). You would like to take full advantage of that membership by developing strong business relationships. You can use the LinkedIn feature in the Membership section of the BCC website to identify yourself as a LinkedIn member. You can provide your LinkedIn Profile address in that section of the site. This will help you to develop business relationships by allowing other BCC members who are on LinkedIn to join your professional network. In addition, in the same section of the Membership website you can make a request to join the exclusive BCC LinkedIn group. This will grant you access to an elite group that enjoys additional benefits from the Chamber.
You want to develop New Business Prospects
Have you run out of business prospects and need new ones? Once you have developed a profile of your customer, you can use the Search feature in LinkedIn to locate them. You can find out who they are; where they are located; and in which company they are currently working. You can find out who in your professional network is connected to that prospect and request an introduction. This will provide you with a contact that you didn’t even know existed.
You want to develop Business Alliances
Businesses that are complimentary to your business can help your business grow. However, sometimes it is difficult to know where those businesses are and who to contact. The search feature of LinkedIn can help you to locate those businesses and the key contacts within those businesses.
You want to develop New Business Contacts
Every time that you link with a person in LinkedIn you have access to that person’s professional network. This provides you the opportunity to develop new business contacts outside of your immediate contacts. In addition, you gain access to not only the people that are directly connected to them, but the people connected to their connections. That is three levels of contact which can equate to hundreds of new contacts that can help you grow your business.
You want to perform Low Cost Market Research
The Question and Answer feature of LinkedIn can help you to learn more about people that use your product or service. This feature allows you to pose a question to all of the people within your network, not just your direct connections. This means, the larger your network, the greater the opportunity to learn about your market’s needs.
You have Recruiting needs
The Search feature of LinkedIn can help you to locate that person with the scarce skill that you have had trouble finding. You can search by location, title, key words or industry. For an additional fee you can search the entire LinkedIn universe for the specific resource that you need.
You are a person who Likes To Be Connected
If you are a person who likes to stay connected with people all over the globe, then LinkedIn is a great way to do just that. Professionals from all over the world stay connected using the LinkedIn tool. They exchange ideas; help each other to solve problems; and even collaborate on projects that is meaningful to each other.
You need a Job
LinkedIn can provide you access to a large number of future employers. You can use the Search feature to find who currently works in the company that you are targeting; the Introduction feature can help you to get connected to a decision maker; and the Question and Answer feature can help you to learn particulars about the company itself. This is information that may not be available from any other source.
You like to stay connected to Your Community Of Friends And Family
Staying connected to your distant family and others in your community can be accomplished relatively easily using the LinkedIn tool. You can stay abreast of where they are and what they are doing.
