LinkedIn Company Policies
Best Practices:
Incorporate into Code of Ethics & Business Conduct Policies
Don’t be too far-reaching.
Define authorized social media business activities.
Use Common Sense!!
Cover personal usage.
Cover disclosure of confidential information.
Compliance with other company policies.
Address the use of personal social media accounts.
Consider having a consumer-facing policy.
If you have compliance requirements, be sure you understand disclosure requirements.
Be sure to have your policy reviewed by your employment law attorney.
Great examples of social media policies:
Leveraging Profiles Companywide
If you have multiple people in your company, the goal here is incorporating as many of these people into your LinkedIn campaign.
Leverage your employees profiles by having them invite their connections to join your group.
Design a “standard” for profiles, incorporating profile optimization strategies, as well as the right CTA’s.
Identify prospects within each employee’s connection database. Run drip marketing campaigns within each of your employee’s profiles.
Offer LinkedIn training for your employees. Lay out a step-by-step plan for them to use.
Training Your Employees
Have them watch the specific training modules here at Linked University.com. (We offer special bulk discounts for groups/teams/companies)
Conduct training sessions or workshops internally.
Create your own video screencasts showing them exactly how to perform the tactics that you’d like them to engage in.
Or all of the above.
What does not work:
Books about LinkedIn.
Training without follow up.
Watching something and then thinking they will remember it later.
Create a scorecard for your employees to track metrics. A few examples could be:
5 Status Updates per Week
Distribute One Piece of Company Branded Content per Week in Your Groups
Grow Connections by 20 people each week.
100 Prospects Targeted With Messaging Campaign Each Month
