Let it be said again: LinkedIn is the must-use (and most used) social network for professionals. With over 200 million users, and 74 million of them in the US, there is no shortage of business development opportunities for the savvy lawyer. As with any marketing tool, LinkedIn is far more effective when you make the most of what it has to offer. In this post, we will explore “Who’s Viewed Your Profile” and it’s value to you as a practicing attorney looking to bring in new business.
Recently, LinkedIn changed the way Who’s Viewed My Profile displays in your settings (and if you are not regularly using this feature, start now!). LinkedIn has dramatically shortened the content shown in a Who’s Viewed My Profile shot. This means that, in about 8 succinct words, you need to explain what you do in a somewhat creative and eye-catching manner. Sound like too much to ask? Talk to us about updating your LinkedIn profile.
Professionals (your potential referral sources and clients) use LinkedIn to expand their networks. It’s up to you to — efficiently and without putting anyone to sleep — convince them that they should connect with you and potentially bring you their business. Your headline is your slogan. Make it count!
Below are a few examples of what doesn’t work for a LinkedIn ‘slogan’. Notice that headlines are cut off mid-sentence, leaving the guesswork up to the potential connection. In marketing, a brand (which is what you, the practicing attorney, are in today’s digital world) strives to avoid leaving the potential consumer with ambiguity as to the brand’s purpose or mission. Do not rely on your audience to accurately assume what you can do for them. Clearly, professionally, and creatively tell them.
