LinkedIn Profile Examples

Here are a few samples of our LinkedIn Profile makeovers.
 
LinkedIn Headline Examples

Most people use their title as their LinkedIn Headline but if you are trying to get noticed, that’s not the way to do it! Instead you want something punchy! Something that will hook the reader and make them want to read more!

Take a look at this LinkedIn Profile headline example:

Before:
President of Office Computer Concepts, LLC – BORING!

After:
Building the Tools that Make Your Business Life Easier! – INTRIGUING!

Here’s another one:

Before:
Ronald Dullen, CPA, MBA Consultant to Industry, Non-Profits and the Wealthy, Interim CEO & CFO – SNORE!

After:
Solving urgent leadership problems… when your CEO steps down, Ron Dullen steps up – WOW!

LinkedIn Summary Example

The summary shouldn’t be a bunch of bullet points, nor should it be a boring block of text. This is where you explain who you are, what makes you unique and what value you offer. This is where you SELL YOURSELF!

Before:
Software consultant with extensive experience building custom software tools that clients use to improve their business. I have consulted to a broad range of organizations including: business networking, catering, convenience stores, employee benefits, fund-raising, health care, health care insurance, home mortgage, homeowners association, mortgage insurance, performing arts, retail jewelry, and utilities. Blah Blah Blah I am already asleep!

After:
Tired of duplicate data entry? Frustrated by the amount of manual work that goes into building reports? Sick of manual corrections and reformatting?

My name is Rob Ross and I specialize in building custom software tools that improve and streamline business processes for companies that are tired of wasting their time with redundant and manual tasks.

A simple phone call is all it takes to see if you are a candidate for my services. Whether you are struggling with Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, or a proprietary system, give me a call.

Let’s get your business running efficiently!

NOW THAT PACKS A PUNCH!
