New LinkedIn Company Pages: Generating reviews and leads for your business

LinkedIn is a popular social media site that gives you as a business owner additional ways to market your brand and connect with clients and partners. Having a LinkedIn Company Page is like having another website with a captive audience – you can profile your company, connect with customers, suppliers and employees, and interact with groups who are all trawling through LinkedIn in search of likeminded people. Think of it as an online space where leads are generated, connections are made and deals go down – use it well and it’s like a free ticket to a VIP networking party that lasts all year round. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the new features and start a LinkedIn Company Page, or give your existing page a complete overhaul.
