Every time you post on LinkedIn, leave a comment, or send a connection request, your name is out there. And when someone gets curious enough to click it, they land on your profile.
In the first few seconds they're looking at your photo, reading your headline, and deciding if you're worth the connection. The reality is most people have no idea what impression they're leaving.
Here's what I know from working with executives and founders on their LinkedIn presence…
A half-finished profile doesn't just look incomplete. It looks like you don't care. No cover photo, a generic headline, an about section that reads like a job description are all reasons for someone to click away.
Your profile should tell someone who you are professionally and personally, and make them want to stay in your world. When all the pieces work together, it does exactly that.
