In this episode, the Social Sales Link team talks about Text Replacement, LinkedIn algorithm, mobile invitations, and video messages.

Did you know that there are feature differences between accessing LinkedIn through the mobile App and through a desktop application? Brynne talked about one of those features that’s available in the App but not in the desktop which is none other than the video messaging. Brynne shared how she’s obsessed with sending video messages as a way to connect with her first-degree connections or re-engaging with them or even welcoming someone to her network!

Did you also know that LinkedIn uses Algorithms? What’s surprising is that it doesn’t only have one but two algorithms – Desktop and Mobile App, according to Bob. Sally Jo on the other hand shares about the Text Replacement App which will save everyone’s time because of its shortcode features. By putting those shortcodes it allows the user to share their welcome message, connection requests, and even reference links to their connections.

“Thou shall not send a connection request without a personal message”, this is the Social Sales Link’s first commandment according to Bill who stresses the importance of sending a personalized message when connecting.

Important points on this video
Things you will learn in this episode:

  • The percentage of engagement is unbelievable when you send a video message to a connection, to re engage with them, or to even welcome them to your network! Make sure you take advantage of this free and productive feature.
  • Something worked better in mobile, other things work better on the desktop, commenting is king, no matter where you’re doing it from. Remember that while you should always focus on the quality of your content, you can get even better results if you know how to use it.
  • To combat your frustration in responding, the Text Replacement App can help you save at least 3 to 4 hours a week and it’s available on both Androids and iOS.
  • The most important thing is understanding that when you’re visiting someone’s profile to connect with them, you have to hit that more button, the drop-down, and then you have to send a personalized invite.
