Linkedin profiles are our personal brand. If you do not care, on a personal level or professional level, it will cost a lot that you can contact for a job you apply or that any company contact another to do business.
I have seen many profiles of companies with a creepy carelessness, something that makes these companies look like something archaic and careless of how to present the world. The first image is what counts, and Linkedin is more and more used to have this first impression.
I will now focus on 6 essential aspects for doing business on Linkedin, mainly for companies, but also applicable to people looking for work or to offer services. You can also analyze the Official Linkedin Guide to build a business profile.

The first step is to have a good profile updated and completing all the sections that Linkedin offers. Obviously a company profile is something alive and you can not pretend to devote a moment and let it rot during the time, but first is the first thing, so we complete the business profile with affection, care and attention.
The logo of our company is like our photo; It’s not worth putting any. The logo with good resolution, and a size adapted to the profile of LinkedIn will make people find your company more attractive.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so the cover image of the company has to represent and show something more of the company.
Do not put a generic photo or do not contribute anything new. A photo with the name of the company, could complement perfectly with the company logo.
Also a photo of the offices or a photo of the team, which can show something closer to the company as in the end the companies are people who deal with people.
Linkedin’s profile
The most appropriate way to see a company on Linkedin is to connect with people from the industry and other companies in the sector. This will allow us to get acquainted and to be seen as experts in the industry, which can generate new businesses.
As I said at the beginning, having a profile without movement is a bit useless. The object of social networks is to share information, own or external, events and news with people who may be interested in it.
In addition Linkedin makes available to the company pages an analytical tool that gives us information about the interactions of each of our shared articles, so we will know what is the most impact within our audience and so Share and generate content in line with your interests.
If we have correctly defined our company’s audience on Linkedin, we write and share information in a manner commensurate with their tastes/needs, we will generate more and more value to that audience and we’ll move on to generate new business.
They will see us as experts and that will make in the case that they have needs of our services they trust us rather than in companies that they do not know.
