Do you still see LinkedIn as a collection of digital business cards? Then, your writing desk is probably pretty dusty…
What’s the Essence of Digital Networking?
The goals to be active in a business network, as a private person, or with a company profile are as diverse as there are different companies.
The platform can be used to find
- a new job
- stay up to date with news
- put a face to the company
- engage in interactive business discussions
- generate leads
- and much more…
The LinkedIn user numbers are proof of this relevance. In 2021, LinkedIn counts over 740 million members and over 57 million registered companies. This makes LinkedIn the largest business platform for networking worldwide.
Tell Your Story.
The large number of users worldwide (status as of December 2021) and a constantly growing number of participants, increase the risk of getting lost in the network.
Therefore, it is important to update your profile and stand out.
