Linkedin's New "Profile" Feature - "Relationship"

Have you gone into your Linkedin Directory lately and seen what's new on the profile pages of your connections?

There's a fun, but also very useful, new feature with which you can assign all sorts of information to your connections!  You can find it by going to your directory and bringing up the profile page of any random connection you have.  Underneath their profile image you will see two tabs ... 1) "Contact Info" which has always been there, and 2) "Relationship" - the new feature!

Think you'll find it very robust. Using will enable you to see when you last contacted someone in your network and you can even add notes, set a reminder and jot down other useful information.

When you click on "Relationship" several options immediately appear for your use:

1. Notes - here you can enter any info you like!  No one can see it but you. 
   .
2. Reminder -  this feature makes it easy for you to stay connected with your network. You can type in what you need to remember and then choose to have an alert sent to you in one day, one week, one month or even set up recurring reminders!
   .
3. How You Met - Store the details of how, when and where you met your connections and who, if anyone, introduced you. Great for putting who may have introduced you or who you had in common when you first met. 
   .
4. Tag -  Assign any category you desire to your connection.  You may later do a search by the tags that you create as you build your communications with the members of your network.

What do you think? Would love you to share ideas you may have for its use?  Just leave a comment below.  My favorite  part is the "tag" capability.  Love to see how my network builds out by interest and types of businesses! The "tag" feature will let me do that!   Again, let me know what you like best!

Keep your business garden growing ...
