http://SalesTipADay.com Chris Hamilton 403-630-1243 The new Mobile LinkedIn Profile doesn’t have anywhere to find contact information such as an email or phone number. Here is a way to add Contact information to your Mobile LinkedIn Profile. Hi there, it’s Chris Hamilton here and I wanted to show you something unique on the new Mobile LinkedIn Profile. One of the things that I have found that is interesting is that it’s extremely tough to find peoples’ contact information. What do I mean? If I go to the search functionality … I’m going to look at my buddy John Leishman and I’m also going to look at my other buddy Jimmy Dimas and show you what I mean. When I go into John’s profile, one of the things that it does is it pulls up his information. I can message him, but I can’t find his phone number or contact information. I’m searching through, and literally all I’m seeing is experience. I see his skills. I see his recommendations. I see some accomplishments and groups and also what people have viewed apart from him, but literally no way for me to get information on John. That said, I’m going to go back to my buddy Jimmy Dimas here. Same sort of thing with Jim is I go through, I can message him if I feel like, but if I want to call him or even, say, send him an email, there is no way for me to do so on here as I’m going through and looking at all this stuff. I can see his education, his skills, his recommendations, some of the accomplishments and some of the groups he’s in, but no way for anyone to either phone him or email him. You just have to message it through the platform. I’ve got my own opinion on where LinkedIn’s going with their messaging. They’re going to start forcing people to use their messaging very similar to the way Facebook is. What that’s going to do is it’s going to give you the ability to no longer be able to find peoples’ email addresses on LinkedIn. This is just my hypothesis right now, and that you’re not going to be able to find their email addresses and they’re going to force you to do the messaging or talking on the LinkedIn platform. Now, what I notice, though, is when you go to my profile what you’re going to see … I’ll go to the main page here. One of the things you see here is my picture, my ugly mug, my name, my tagline, where i went to school, my city, my connections. Then you look down below it says, “Call me at 403-630-1234 or email me at Chris@SalesTipADay.com” Where that information is coming from, it is actually coming from my summary on my LinkedIn profile. It’s the first line that’s in there. Just a suggestion, maybe a helpful tip that you can use, is leverage your summary to put your contact information in right off the back and it’ll get drawn into your picture. Why do you want to do this? About 55% of all unique visitors on LinkedIn use a mobile device. That is obvious. It’s getting higher and higher and higher all the time. With projections like within about a year’s time, and this is in January 2016, that’ll go from 55 million to probably close to 70 to 75 million people and probably will be in that 65% to 70% range of visitors to LinkedIn going to the mobile platform. You’ve got to be able to get it to a point where people will be able to reach out to you and connect with you. That’s one of the quickest ways I can find to do it is put your contact information on the first line of your summary. It drags it into your online profile, and it shows you exactly how to get a hold of people.
