If you are like me, you have Outlook open all day and the majority of your communications and scheduling is being done within Outlook. By installing the LinkedIn for Outlook plugin, you will be able to:
Access Your Connections In Your Inbox
See the latest LinkedIn activity and profile photo from any connection that sends you an e-mail.
E-mail Your Connections Directly
Just start typing a name and let the LinkedIn Outlook Connector fill in the rest.
Keep Building Your Network
Instantly send an invitation to connect from any Outlook e-mail.
It is helping me stay connected more easily, gives me fresh information about the people I am connected with, and eliminates some of the hassle out of inviting my contacts to connect with me on LinkedIn.
It’s easy to install, simple to use and it’s free. What are you waiting for? Let me know how you use it in the comments below.
