One of the most common responses I get from construction professionals when I tell them I teach people how to use Linkedin, is this one:
Oh, I’m on Linkedin, yes. But it’s really for people who want a new job isn’t it?
Well, yes it was once, but not any more. Linkedin has changed from a site for jobseekers into the most popular professional business platform in the UK. There are over 7000 UK construction companies on Linkedin, and over 11 million UK users, both in the public and private sectors.
Why it matters
In an uncertain business environment, one of the most important things we can do is make sure our clients and collaborators know we are still in business. As people move employers and found new businesses, we need to make sure we keep our relationships with them. Linkedin is an essential tool for this, both from an individual and a company perspective. But Linkedin has become more than that. Companies can now use Linkedin to increase market share, improve company reputation and speed up the lead generation process.
