Are You Using LinkedIn to Its Fullest?

If you’re like a lot of business owners, you probably have a LinkedIn profile set up with a smattering of contacts, both professional and social, that you keep tucked away in case you ever need to call on their expertise. You might even have your résumé or business information listed in case someone is searching out your services or doing a background check on your business. But what you may not realize is that LinkedIn may be one of the most beneficial tools in your digital arsenal and is much more than a digital Rolodex.

Besides being a great way to organize your networks and connections, LinkedIn provides a platform for communicating with industry thought leaders and decision makers. It helps to build up you and your business as a thought leader in a competitive marketplace and works as a resource to grow your ideas, troubleshoot and in some cases commiserate.
