Expanded profile views

Tired of seeing this when you view the profile of someone you don’t know?

Limited profile views will only show you the very basics about a person and their profile summary when they are out of your network. Expanded profile views will allow you to see their first name, photo, job details, recommendations, educational background, skills, and any other information or applications they have added to their profiles.

See who has viewed your profile

LinkedIn lets you see who has viewed your profile if you turn on the setting to allow others to see if you have viewed their profile. With a premium account, you can view that list without having to give up your own viewing privacy. But instead of just seeing who viewed your profile, you will also get to see which keywords people searched to get to your profile.

Profile organizer

Want to organize your contacts with more than just tags? Try the LinkedIn Profile Organizer. It allows you to add LinkedIn members to your Profile Organizer quickly by simply saving their profile.

Get introduced

Incase If you don’t have any more InMails and you want to join with someone who is a 2nd or 3rd degree connection, you can do so with Introductions. When you visit the person’s profile, there will be a link to get introduced through a connection. You will essentially choose the best person to make the introduction and send them a message about why you want to connect.

See the names of 3rd degree connections

Some subscription plans will allow you to see the full name of your 3rd-degree connections. This will make it easier to recognize the people you might want to connect with.

Reference search

You will get more references for a person besides their recommendations on LinkedIn? You can use the Reference Search to look for people who have worked with another LinkedIn user to contact them about their performance.

Allow anyone to message you with OpenLink

With LinkedIn Premium accounts you can receive a message from anyone on LinkedIn, whether or not they are connected to you? You can do it by opting in to being an OpenLink member. This way, any LinkedIn member can message you without using introductions or InMails.
