5 Must Have LinkedIn Apps for Sales Teams

LinkedIn the professional social network has for most people been a tool to share your resume and connect with business professionals that you would like to be associated with. Many of LinkedIn’s features and third-party apps actually provide many useful benefits that businesses could utilize. In the article I came across it talks about how to use five apps to better a sales team by turning LinkedIn into an online research-gathering database.

I think that often LinkedIn gets over looked when talking about social media, but honestly I don’t think there is a more professional networking site out there. Where Facebook’s credibility is questioned at when business ventures are started on it, LinkedIn is the site that people are expecting businesses to make moves and gather data. The apps that are being added to LinkedIn everyday will help with that research and networking in the long run.

What are your thoughts on LinkedIn? Compared to Facebook, who is the better tool for your business?
