has just completed the LinkedIn Bootcamp and asked me a brilliant question last week, what else can I be doing?
So we reviewed his LinkedIn SSI index (37), his number of connections and discussed how he needed to grow his connections to increase his visibility with relevant people. Because when you connect with somebody on LinkedIn, your weekly post will also gain visibility with their connections, so a multiplier effect for free.
Based upon my experience most CFOs seem to have ~500 to ~1,500 LinkedIn connections which is quite narrow in my opinion however CFOs can be selective about who they accept and let into their feed so there's a counter argument on having a small but more exclusive connection base. Either way isn't a problem as it's a personal choice.
Anyway, using my LinkedIn recruiter, Simon and I identified ~100 connections who may be able to help him in his job search and Simon has now increased his connections by 10% in less than one week. And as Simon said, this is WIP "Winning In Progress".
So if you've completed the bootcamp, take a look at your SSI index and see whether you to could start to grow your connections.
Note - at the time of writing this LinkedIn will allow you to add ~200 connections per week so you can grow your connections quite quickly but as always, it's about quality not quantity.
