Is Your Job Description on the New LinkedIn Costing You Opportunities?

With the new LinkedIn rollout, your job description has never been more vital to your online presence. When your reader begins to scroll down your profile on the desktop, the Experience Section is the first thing they see. It should no longer be solely focused on your achievements, negotiation skills or daily responsibilities.

This is your opportunity to share how you work with your clients, the value you bring to them and why they should hire you. Take advantage of the 2000 characters you have in your job description, because when they are used correctly, they can open up great opportunities for you.

Here is my recommended breakdown:

Start with a powerful statement that gets their attention:

► Three Areas Essential for a Successful Social Selling Program:

➊ Customization – It is essential for sales rep adoption of any sales program that it be completely relevant to their needs. Customization includes establishing KPIs, defining buyer criteria for LinkedIn searches, messaging templates, a company branding and profile strategy, daily activities and CRM integration.

➋ Guided Learning – All adult learning should include elements of video that teaches strategy and tactics as well step-by-step implementation to be successful. Guided learning is a hybrid of Just-in-Time learning that has proven to have a much higher success rate among sales professionals.

➌ Reinforcement – Training alone is proven to not be enough. Ensuring that the right activity at the right time on a consistent basis is essential for ongoing success. Reinforcement should be gamified, measured and coached to for optimum engagement and ROI.
