Key Takeaways

  1. Team growth on LinkedIn: It rests on 4 employer-side levers, featuring employees in company posts, teaching them growth tactics, automating repeated content tasks, and giving profile feedback, with Taplio handling the automation from $39/month (no free plan, only a 7-day trial).
  2. The exact steps: Mention employees by name in company posts to send traffic to their profiles, teach them to get LinkedIn Premium, post daily, join relevant LinkedIn groups, exhaust all monthly connection invites and optimize their profile, then schedule their posts in Taplio.
  3. The number that decides: The article's stated alternative is executives spending 5 hours a day writing content to build a personal brand, which is the time cost automation and scheduling are meant to remove.
  4. What to check first: Before rolling this out, confirm each team member lists the company as employer, that profiles are optimized, that a company page cannot connect or send private messages so personal profiles must carry outreach, and which plan tier covers team collaboration.
  5. Decision rule: Start with free levers, employee mentions and growth training, if the team is small, and add Taplio's Growth plan at $69/month ($49/month billed yearly) when scheduling and team collaboration for sales, marketing and support becomes the bottleneck.

Once you have a team of salespeople, recruiters, or employees, you must consider LinkedIn as a marketing tool for them.

Why?

You multiply your chances of finding your dream client on LinkedIn when you set up your team on the platform.

Your team members can connect with potential clients and generate qualified leads on LinkedIn. Hence, they must grow on LinkedIn because their growth translates to the growth of your business.

You want your top execs to have a personal brand.

But do you really want them to spend 5 hours a day writing content in order to build it? No? Then don’t worry, Taplio fixes this.

Help your team members develop their online presence and drive more opportunities for the team.

How Does Your Business Benefit When Your Team Grows on LinkedIn?

When you help your team to grow on LinkedIn, these are some benefits your business will gain:

1. Increases credibility for your business

People want to interact and do business with real people, not faceless entities. It’s easier for people to perceive your company as a real business when your employees have active LinkedIn accounts and list it as their employer.

2. Humanizes your brand

Employees love to share their achievements, challenges, and highlights of their day-to-day activities on their profiles. When outsiders get these behind-the-scenes views of your brand, they become emotionally attached to your business.

3. Your employees become media ambassadors for your business

When you post content on your company profile, your employees on LinkedIn can share and engage with your posts. They can also discuss your company’s products, services, or culture in their posts to boost brand awareness.

4. Boosts your visibility

When employees share, like, and comment on your posts, these posts become visible to their network. Your brand will get the attention of people you could never reach with your posts alone.

Potential business partners can easily find you as your content reaches a wider audience.

5. Increases your sales

More visibility and credibility naturally translate to more sales for your business. When your team members recommend your products or services to their audience, it opens the door to new clients.

6. Your company becomes attractive to employees

On LinkedIn, your employees can talk about your company’s culture, strengths, achievements, affiliations, and goals. These actions raise your brand’s value in the eyes of potential employees.

Why You and Your Team Should Use LinkedIn

Setting up active LinkedIn profiles for you and your team helps your business

  • Bypass its company page limitations
  • Boost the company branding

You overcome LinkedIn company page limitations

A company page has its limitations. For example, you can’t connect with other users using a company page, and you can’t send private messages to other users.

But your team members can message and connect with prospects from their profiles to build relationships.

Your employees can list you as their employer

When team members list your company as their employer on their profiles, they drive traffic to your company page, which drives traffic to your website or landing page.

Jobseekers can identify a team member as your employee based on the employer information on their profile. These potential employees can connect with them to gain information about the company.

Your employees can use that chance to highlight the values and culture of your brand, and that’s more effective than any job ad you’ll ever place.
