Promote Your Fire & Security Company With LinkedIn’s Skills And Endorsements

The Skills and Endorsements section is a very important part of any Fire & Security sales person’s LinkedIn profile. It’s one of the top four places where you should be using your key words and phrases.

Whatever you add here will help:

  • LinkedIn to understand what search terms you want your profile to show for; and
  •  your connections to understand how best you can help them.

It’s also a great way to start conversations with your connections. But many Fire & Security directors don’t have a clue how to get the most value from it!

The Best Way To Attract More Followers For Your Fire & Security LinkedIn Company Page

After a decade of using LinkedIn, many clients and students have asked me one simple question. How do you attract more followers for your company page?

Will They Know If I Disconnect Or Remove A Fire & Security Connection On LinkedIn?

Will they know if I disconnect or remove a Fire & Security connection on LinkedIn? This is the #1 question that I get asked when I train Fire & Security professionals to use the LinkedIn platform.

I get it! You connected with that engineer from another company when you were just starting out on LinkedIn. There was some great banter and sharing of bad work by other installers. But, since then, you’ve got wiser!

The day it really sank in was after you posted an update about a new maintenance contract that you had won with a really good local commercial outlet. A year later, the contract was up for renewal. But you didn’t get the job.

Yes, that’s a bit of a shocker!

This is another reason for choosing wisely who to invite and also who to accept as a connection.

So, if you don’t want your connections to show to anyone except you, there is a setting you can change. Continue reading “Can You Hide Your Fire & Security Customers On LinkedIn?”
