Hi Friends!

Sandra Long

It's November - the month we are reminded of everything and everyone we are grateful for! Despite a tough year, I hope we can all find silver linings - things to be grateful for! To start off with, I appreciate all of you. You are part of my treasured network. Many of you are clients and friends. Others are brand new connections who happen to be interested in LinkedIn. Thank you all!

 

LinkedIn Updates November 2020

For Companies:

  • Look for new insights called Post Highlights and Employee Activities in your Page.
  • LinkedIn Events (from a Company Page) are greatly enhanced with polls, speaker links, advertising options, registration, email collection, and the automatic notification to your page followers. Are you an admin for a company page on LinkedIn now Or are you interested in creating one?

For Salespeople:

  • Sales Navigator's SmartLinks will now allow us to include links and videos. This is a fantastic way to share information!
  • For those of you using the Enterprise version of Sales Navigator with CRM functionality, you will see improvements in reporting and integration.

For Job Seekers:

  • Check out the new Career Explorer tool. Find new jobs with the skills you have and explore job transitions. In this time of Covid, this is especially valuable.

For Premium users:

  • Have you tried the new Away message yet? Maybe for the holidays? I think we all need a vacation and should try this out now!

 

 

Interesting for all:

  • Get ready to add a thumbnail for your native videos!
  • There are lots of tests going on with LinkedIn Stories. Here are two examples: using targeted audiences by language and swipe up links
  • Profile Memorialization is being considered. This means that when someone passes away, the profile may remain visible so the professional legacy can be maintained. "In Memory Of...."
  • Group notifications have been changed and this can impact our opportunities to engage with others in our groups.
