Open to conversations about charity work, mentorship or sales? Your LinkedIn profile allows you to display these preferences. 

For sales professionals, implementing a Setmore-LinkedIn meeting scheduler cuts down on the back-and-forth. There’s no need for the ‘When are you available?’ emails when a prospect reaches out. Create a service (e.g. for demos or presentations), share your calendar on LinkedIn, and let potential customers book without hesitation.

Pack more events.

Last year, 6.3 million members attended a virtual event on LinkedIn. With more companies now used to operating online, virtual conferences and events show no sign of slowing down. Not only do hosts cut down on location and travel costs, but their events also become far more accessible. Guest lists grow exponentially as anyone can attend from the comfort of their swivel chair ?

As online events like webinars can be more flexible and frequent, an increasing number of businesses feed them into their marketing strategies.

LinkedIn is the top-rated organic social media channel for B2B marketers (Content Marketing Institute). Booking links can be displayed in your business’ posts, staff posts, LinkedIn ads and the Events section, allowing customers to reserve seats at their convenience.
