- Headline: More than just your job title. What do you do to help your customers?
- Websites: Ensure they are personalised and not just 'My company website'
- Skills and expertise: Complete covering all your skills listed using key words your prospective customer or contact may be searching for.
- Status updates: Ensure you have status updates and appear active, but please ensure they are not simply self promotional.
- Recommendations: Obtain recommendations, as much more effective someone else saying how good you are.
