The Recap with CEO Jake Dunlap #104 - LinkedIn Updates
Shelby Woods
This week we’re talking about your favorite social selling platform and ours, LinkedIn!
While Jake was out of the office, LinkedIn decided it was going to make a few updates. We cover that and more in this episode, plus funny stories from Jake’s week off (hint: it involves wake surfing) and upcoming events for the next week!
Watch The Recap:
Jake’s Take | Question the Status Quo
You should never be satisfied! We know how that sounds but trust us. There is almost always a better way to do things. It’s easy to get into a rhythm and stuck in old, less efficient ways of getting things done. Strategies and technology are ever-evolving. But, counterintuitively, be wary of the shiny new thing. Always be consciously looking for easier means of getting work completed to benefit you and your team in the long run.

And now for the bread and butter of this post! LinkedIn has made some changes that we are very excited about.
LinkedIn Elevate is merging with LinkedIn Pages. This means all functionality of Elevate will integrate into Pages, and will now be free of charge.
Additionally, LinkedIn Events has added multiple new features and has more on the way. Users can now store videos in a video tab, create custom announcement banners, and hosts can recommend posts, which send a notification to everyone in the group.
Let us know if you’ve been taking advantage of any of these changes! We’re interested in hearing about other people’s experiences.
