PARENTHESES If you would like to do a complex search, you can combine terms and modifiers. Examples: sales AND (trainer OR speaker) (social selling training OR social selling trainer) AND
If you would like to search for profiles which include two terms, you can separate those terms with the upper- case word AND. However, you don’t have to use AND. If you enter two terms, the search program will assume there is an AND between them. Examples: digital AND selling digital+selling [You can also add a plus + in between the words with no space] OR If you would like to broaden your search to find profiles which include more than one term, you can separate those terms with the uppercase word OR. Examples: “Microsoft” OR “LinkedIn” “Vice President” OR VP OR “V.P.” OR SVP OR EVP NOT If you would like to do a search but exclude a particular term, type that term with an uppercase NOT immediately before it. Your search results will exclude any profile containing that term. Examples: CEO NOT (owner OR consultant) (Google OR Salesforce) NOT LinkedIn 8. Take advantage of LinkedIn’s Saved searches feature If you find a search term that produces good search results using LinkedIn’s Advanced Search, you can save that search so you can continue getting fresh results from it. This is a powerful tool because you will get search alerts directly from LinkedIn when new people match that criteria. You can come back to these search results at any time and check for new potential prospects. You can then go through the profiles and connect with those who fit your criteria of a prospect. Additionally, LinkedIn will send you an email once a week with new profiles that match your Saved Search parameters. This feature is currently available with both free and paid membership levels, but the number of saved searches you can have varies depending on which membership level you have. With a free account, you can set up three saved search results. NOTE: With a free account, you need to search a keyword and then select “People” to make the Saved searches feature appear; otherwise, it is hidden. 9.
