Headline Statement

This area just below your profile picture is known as your headline statement.headline1

This is important because when you send out invitations to your prospects, they will often visit your profile and see three items - your profile picture, your full name, and your headline statement.

Tip: We suggest you include your position in the company together with an “I help” statement, who do you help, what do you help them do and how do you achieve that.

Formula: I help [who] to [result/transformation] by [your service offering/product/process]
