I know LinkedIn is a great resource, but how can you gain more ‘company’ followers and engage with your connections through the company page? You can’t even share a post from a connection onto your company page…

Hi there Arbel! We’re still growing our follower base too.

You can add the LinkedIn Follow button icon to your website and ask your current clients/customers to check out the page.

Our page currently has employees followers so be sure to have your co-workers add it to their profile too. It looks more presentable when people see who works at the company.

Hope that helps.

Thanks everyone for your responses!

 @kathybernard I’ve tried to include a link in an invitation, which didn’t work, but maybe an IMessage would be better fit for that. Would the recipients know that I am sending out a mass email? Or should I personalize it (which could take me days)?

@alice-ly, yes, once our website is complete I will have an api for our LinkedIn company page, as well as in newsletters, promotional materials and so on. 

@rich-brooks, I think that’s the problem; LinkedIn is a good amount behind on the integration of company pages, which is odd since it is pretty much the only network that is specifically geared towards professionals. Even the simple ability to ‘speak’ as your company page on group discussions, the company followers & to your personal connections, would make a world of difference! I truly hope that LinkedIn is working on something because it could be such a powerful tool to have companies have a more social experience on LI.

How have you guys built up your company page follower numbers within LinkedIn? Or, is it all redirection from other sites/campagins?

Oh, and you CAN include live links in InMessages. Kathy
