Check out the sweet discussion on yapstar.org about the value of LinkedIn for associations. (You don’t need to be a member to read, only to post and join the convo.)
I got a comment recently, here on an earlier post:
“Have you heard of companies requiring employees to have LinkedIn profiles, and to use them to generate leads for the company’s sales. It was recently “suggested” to me that I should start posting questions on the Q&A on LinkedIn, connect to the people who responded, and then turn them over to our sales team.
I don’t like this practice and I said that I would prefer not to do it. In my mind, my profile is my “brand” and my property… not the company I happen to be working for in the moment.
What do you think?”
Posted my answer on yapstar.org, so it could be part of the ongoing discussion. See what you think.
Get the Book! Open Community is about how associations can--and why they should--build community online. Look for book-related posts in the Open Community category of this blog.
