Key Takeaways

  1. Employee LinkedIn growth compounds into business growth: active team profiles increase company credibility, humanize the brand, boost post visibility, drive sales, and make the company more attractive to potential hires.
  2. Personal profiles bypass LinkedIn company page limits: a company page cannot connect with users or send private messages, while employees can message and connect with prospects directly to build relationships.
  3. Employees listing the company as their employer drives traffic: the employer field on their profiles funnels visitors to the company page, which then routes them to the website or landing page.
  4. Four levers help a team grow on LinkedIn: feature employees in company posts, teach them growth tactics (daily posting, LinkedIn groups, profile optimization, using all monthly connections), automate repeated tasks, and give feedback on their profiles.
  5. Taplio automates the time sink of team content: instead of executives spending 5 hours a day writing, Taplio schedules posts and generates content ideas so sales, marketing, and support teams can all build presence efficiently.

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

Why?

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.
