The LinkedIn questions keep coming! This LinkedIn question comes from a woman who purchased my book, LinkedIn Makeover: Professional Secrets to a POWERFUL LinkedIn Profile. Her issue is a common one. Many people mistakenly create duplicate accounts on LinkedIn and can’t figure out how to get rid of them. If you have duplicate LinkedIn accounts, breath easy… you are in good company! Here are the steps to take to get rid of your duplicate LinkedIn profile!
Donna:
I have your wonderful book and I’m eager to update and improve my LinkedIn profile.
But, I’m having a terrible time with customer service. It seems I have duplicate accts and it has generated some significant problems for me.
Customer service will not respond. It has been a week since my initial inquiry plus a phone message.
By chance, do you have a direct contact name at the company who could be of assistance to clear this up?
With appreciation,
Lisa
Hi Lisa!
I am sorry to hear about your LinkedIn customer support issues. LinkedIn is rather infamous for their poor support to non-paying customers. If you haven’t, I’d suggest paying for one of their premium services. I just recently found that you can still sign up for the very affordable Personal Plan that is less than 100 a year. Once you pay for their service, they are usually much more responsive and helpful.
However, before you lay out any cash, here is my solution for deleting the duplicate accounts:
If you do not have access to that email address associated with your duplicate account, you are at the mercy of LinkedIn technical support. Here is the link to have LinkedIn support delete the duplicate LinkedIn Account.
I hope this helps!
