Social Selling Index: Boost SSI to 80+ in 30 Days

Update, October 2026 — SSI is now behind Sales Navigator. Free accounts no longer reach the score page; LinkedIn shows a discontinuation notice there instead, pointing to a Sales Navigator subscription. The metric was not deleted — access to the score page moved behind the paid tier. Everything below still describes how the score is built and what moves it. If you landed here from that notice, start with what "your access to the social selling index (SSI) page will be discontinued soon" means and what to measure instead.

LinkedIn publishes a single number that summarizes how effectively you use the platform to sell. It is called the Social Selling Index, or SSI. In October 2014 and January 2015, the LinkedIn Sales Blog claimed that social sellers created 45% more opportunities than peers with lower SSI scores and were 51% more likely to reach quota — statements made without a published methodology or sample size. If you want to cite those figures, date them: "in 2014 and 2015 LinkedIn claimed…" — they are not current LinkedIn data.

What holds up regardless of those specific figures: if your SSI is low, you are almost certainly using LinkedIn passively. Passive use produces passive results.

This guide covers exactly what SSI measures, how each pillar is scored, what your total score means, a day-by-day 30-day action plan to reach 80+, and what to do in each pillar to move the number. No filler — just the mechanics and the tactics.

What Is the LinkedIn SSI?

The LinkedIn Social Selling Index (SSI) is a score from 0 to 100 that LinkedIn calculates daily based on your activity across four behavioral categories, called pillars. Each pillar is worth up to 25 points, and LinkedIn aggregates them into a single total.

The SSI was originally designed for Sales Navigator users, was open to every LinkedIn member for years, and since mid-2025 is a Sales Navigator feature again: a free account opening the SSI page gets a discontinuation notice where the score used to be.

How to check your SSI score:

Go directly to linkedin.com/sales/ssi. Since mid-2025 this page requires an active Sales Navigator subscription; free accounts get the discontinuation notice instead. With access, LinkedIn displays your current SSI, your score by pillar, and how you rank against people in your industry and your network.

The score updates every 24 hours. It reflects activity from the trailing 90 days, with more recent activity weighted more heavily.

How LinkedIn Calculates Your SSI Score

LinkedIn calculates SSI across four pillars. Each pillar has a maximum of 25 points:

LinkedIn does not publish the exact formula for each pillar. What they have disclosed is the behavioral signals they monitor: profile completeness, search activity, content engagement, and connection-building patterns. Third-party testing and practitioner experience have filled in most of the remaining gaps.

The four pillars are not equally easy to improve. Profile optimization (Pillar 1) can move your score significantly in a single session. Relationship-building (Pillar 4) requires consistent activity over weeks.

The 4 SSI Pillars — What They Measure and How to Maximize Each One

Pillar 1: Establish Your Professional Brand (25/25)

This pillar measures how completely and credibly your profile represents your expertise.

LinkedIn evaluates whether your profile looks like that of a subject-matter expert — not just a person with a job title. A profile that buyers would read and find credible scores higher than one that looks like a static resume.

The signals LinkedIn weighs include: profile completeness, whether you have a custom headline (not just your job title), whether you publish original content, whether your content earns engagement, and whether your profile has received endorsements and recommendations in relevant skills.

Actions to maximize Pillar 1 to 25/25:

1. Rewrite your headline around your buyer's problem, not your job title. "CEO at Acme" scores lower than "Helping B2B founders book meetings on LinkedIn — without cold email." The headline is the single highest-visibility field on your profile and the first thing buyers read in search results. Make it buyer-facing. For a detailed breakdown of headline structure, see LinkedIn headline guide for B2B sales.

2. Publish at least two pieces of original content per week. LinkedIn's algorithm distinguishes between sharing others' posts and publishing original posts. Original posts count toward your brand score. Text posts, carousels, and articles all qualify. The goal is consistent output, not viral reach. Two posts per week for 30 days will move this pillar measurably.

3. Complete every profile section, including the Featured section. Featured is often left blank. It is prime real estate: put your best-performing post, a case study, or a link to your product there. Profile completeness affects SSI directly, and the Featured section is one of the fastest sections to add for completeness points. See how to optimize your LinkedIn profile for B2B sales for a section-by-section walkthrough.

4. Collect at least five skill endorsements and two recommendations. LinkedIn's scoring for this pillar rewards social proof. Ask two or three recent colleagues or clients for a short recommendation this week — a two-sentence recommendation from a recognizable company name outperforms a paragraph from a personal contact. Skill endorsements from people in your ICP's industry also count.

5. Write an About section that opens with the problem you solve. The About section is scanned, not read. Open with a single declarative sentence about who you help and how. "I help SaaS founders book 20 to 30 qualified meetings per month on LinkedIn — without cold email or paid ads." Everything else in the section supports that claim with specifics: industries served, proof points, a call to action. For structure guidance, see LinkedIn About section for B2B sellers.

Pillar 2: Find the Right People (25/25)

This pillar measures how effectively you use LinkedIn's search capabilities to identify prospects.

LinkedIn tracks whether you are using advanced filters, saving leads, and researching decision-makers — not just scrolling your feed. Sellers who use search actively, view prospect profiles, and save lists score higher on this pillar.

If you have Sales Navigator, this pillar has significantly more inputs available: saved searches, lead lists, account lists, TeamLink connections, and the Sales Navigator search filters (which go far deeper than the free search). Without Sales Navigator, the pillar still scores based on your use of LinkedIn's standard search and Boolean operators.

Sales Navigator Core is priced at US$ 89.99/month (annual) or US$ 119.99/month (monthly). That cost is worth evaluating specifically for this pillar if Pillar 2 is your lowest score — the advanced filters compress the time it takes to find qualified decision-makers by a significant margin.

Actions to maximize Pillar 2 to 25/25:

1. Run targeted Boolean searches daily and view matched prospect profiles. Use LinkedIn's search bar with operators like AND, OR, and "quoted phrases" to build precise queries. Searching for "VP of Sales" AND "SaaS" AND "50-200 employees" produces a very different result set than a generic keyword search. View 10–20 matched profiles per day. Profile views from searches count toward this pillar.

2. Save searches and return to them. LinkedIn's search tool allows you to save a query and receive notifications when new members match it. This signals active prospecting behavior. Set up at least three saved searches for your target ICP segments. This feature is available on the free version of LinkedIn.

3. If you have Sales Navigator, build and maintain account and lead lists. Sales Navigator lead lists are one of the strongest inputs to Pillar 2. Create lists by vertical, by company size, by geography. Update them weekly. The act of organizing and curating lists signals intentional prospecting behavior to LinkedIn's scoring model.

4. Use LinkedIn's People Also Viewed and Alumni tools to expand your search. On any prospect's profile, the "People Also Viewed" sidebar surfaces similar decision-makers. The Alumni tool on university pages lets you filter graduates by current company, function, and geography — a useful signal for finding warm paths into target accounts. Both tools are available to free users and both count toward Pillar 2 activity.

For a deeper breakdown of prospecting mechanics, see LinkedIn prospecting guide.

Pillar 3: Engage With Insights (25/25)

This pillar measures whether you interact with content in a way that adds value — not just passive scrolling.

LinkedIn distinguishes between passive consumption and active engagement. Likes and shares have some value, but comments — especially substantive comments — drive this pillar more than any other action. The model appears to reward comments with visible substance (more than two or three words) more than generic reactions.

Sharing articles with your own commentary added also scores higher than sharing without context.

Actions to maximize Pillar 3 to 25/25:

1. Leave at least five substantive comments per day on posts from prospects and industry peers. Substantive means adding a point, sharing an experience, or asking a follow-up question — not "Great post!" or "Totally agree." This is the highest-leverage single action for Pillar 3. Five comments per day takes 15–20 minutes if you have a focused feed. It also puts your name in front of the people you want to reach, which generates profile views and connection requests without you initiating them.

2. Share content with your perspective written in the post body. When you share a link or article, write 3–5 sentences about why it is relevant and what you think. "Here is a report on outbound conversion rates in SaaS — the finding that surprised me most was X, because..." This turns a share into a signal of active engagement rather than curation.

3. Follow relevant hashtags and engage with trending content in your vertical. LinkedIn's system tracks which hashtags you follow and whether you engage with posts in those threads. Follow 5–10 niche hashtags (like #b2bsales, #socialselling, #linkedinprospecting) and comment regularly on posts in those feeds. This builds your visible presence in conversations your buyers are already having and adds engagement signals LinkedIn logs for this pillar.

4. Post polls on topics your ICP debates. Polls on LinkedIn generate disproportionate engagement relative to their effort to create. A simple two-option poll — "What kills outbound faster: bad targeting or bad messaging?" — generates comments, votes, and shares from exactly the audience you want to reach. Each response is a warm signal you can act on in Pillar 4.

Pillar 4: Build Relationships (25/25)

This pillar measures whether you are actively growing and deepening your network with decision-makers.

LinkedIn scores this based on connection growth, connection quality (are they senior decision-makers?), InMail activity (for Sales Navigator users), and follow-up engagement. The key word in this pillar's name is "build" — it rewards activity, not just having connections.

Simply having a large network does not score well here. What moves the number is the act of connecting with new people and then engaging with them after connecting.

Actions to maximize Pillar 4 to 25/25:

1. Send 5–10 personalized connection requests per day to decision-makers in your ICP. Personalization does not require a long note. A single sentence referencing a shared connection, a post they wrote, or a specific role they hold is enough to separate your request from the default "I'd like to connect." Connection requests accepted by decision-makers count more toward this pillar than connections with people outside your target segment.

2. Follow up with new connections within 48 hours. The follow-up message after a connection is accepted is the most underused moment in LinkedIn prospecting. Most people connect and then do nothing. Sending a brief, non-pitchy message — acknowledging the connection and opening a conversation — signals active relationship-building behavior. It also starts the conversation that generates pipeline.

3. Re-engage dormant connections through reactions and comments before messaging. Before sending a cold DM to a connection you have not interacted with, engage with two or three of their recent posts first. This warms the relationship signal in LinkedIn's system and increases the likelihood the person remembers who you are before they receive your message.

4. Track your follow-up systematically so conversations do not drop. Pillar 4 leaks when you have no system for knowing who replied, who went cold, and who needs a nudge. The fastest way to stall your score here is to send connection requests in volume, get responses, and then miss the follow-up because you lost track of the thread. A CRM, a spreadsheet, or a dedicated LinkedIn tool all work — the system matters more than which tool you use.

What SSI Score Ranges Mean

LinkedIn does not publish official thresholds with labels. The tiers below are this guide's own working ranges, not LinkedIn data:

For B2B sellers whose primary prospecting channel is LinkedIn, the practical target is 70+. Scores in the 51–70 range reflect functional usage but leave meaningful points on the table across at least two pillars.

Industry averages vary. Technology and SaaS sales roles tend to have higher average SSI than other sectors because the LinkedIn-heavy prospecting culture is more established. If LinkedIn shows you your industry ranking alongside your score, use that comparison to calibrate — not just the raw number.

30-Day Daily Action Checklist to Reach 80+

This is the sequenced plan to go from a mid-range SSI to 80+ in 30 days. It assumes you are starting somewhere between 40 and 60 and have Sales Navigator (or are willing to activate it to see your score). If you are starting lower, add a week to each phase.

Week 1 — Fix the Foundation (Pillar 1)

The fastest points available are in your profile. You can close a 5–10 point gap in Pillar 1 in a single focused session.

• Day 1: Rewrite your headline. Remove your job title. Write one sentence about who you help and what outcome you produce.
• Day 2: Rewrite your About section. Open with the problem you solve. Add three proof points. Close with a call to action.
• Day 3: Complete every remaining profile section — Education, Licenses & Certifications, Volunteer Experience if relevant. Add anything that was blank.
• Day 4: Populate the Featured section with your strongest post or a link to a case study. If you have nothing yet, publish a post today and feature it.
• Day 5: Request two recommendations from clients or colleagues. Send the request with specific context ("Could you mention how we improved X?") so the recommendation comes back quickly and is specific enough to be credible.
• Day 6–7: Publish two original posts. Text-only posts work. Write about a problem your ICP faces and how you think about solving it. No need for perfect — consistent output matters more than individual quality at this stage.

Week 2 — Build the Search Habit (Pillar 2)

Daily search activity is the simplest pillar to build once you have a routine.

• Day 8: Build three Boolean search queries for your top ICP segments. Save all three.
• Day 9: Run each saved search. View 15–20 profiles from the results. Do not connect yet — viewing is enough to score this pillar.
• Day 10–14: Maintain daily search activity. View 15 profiles per day from your saved searches. Update at least one search to add a new filter. If you have Sales Navigator, create your first lead list from the results.

Week 3 — Build the Engagement Habit (Pillar 3)

Commenting is the hardest habit to start and the most impactful for Pillar 3 once it is running.

• Day 15: Set up your LinkedIn feed for your ICP. Follow 10 niche hashtags. Follow the personal profiles of 20 decision-makers in your target segment.
• Day 16–21: Commit to five substantive comments per day. Block 20 minutes on your calendar each morning. Open LinkedIn, go to your notifications and feed, and comment on five posts from prospects or industry voices. If you cannot find five to comment on, search for your niche hashtags and engage there.

Week 4 — Scale the Outreach (Pillar 4)

With your profile optimized, your search habit in place, and your engagement consistent, Pillar 4 is ready for volume.

• Day 22: Send your first 10 personalized connection requests to decision-makers surfaced from your saved searches. Write one line of personalization for each.
• Day 23–25: Send 10 connection requests per day. Follow up with any connections that accepted requests from Day 22 with a brief, non-pitchy opener.
• Day 26–28: Re-engage two or three dormant connections per day by engaging with their recent content before sending a message.
• Day 29–30: Review your SSI score by pillar. Identify which pillar is still lowest. Double the daily activity for that pillar specifically in the final days. Check your industry ranking — if you are above the industry average, you are in position to hold 70+ with maintenance-level activity going forward.

Month 2 and Beyond — Maintenance Mode

Once you hit 70+, the goal shifts from building to maintaining. The minimum effective dose:

• Two original posts per week (Pillar 1)
• 10 profile views from search per day (Pillar 2)
• Three substantive comments per day (Pillar 3)
• Five connection requests per day with 48-hour follow-up (Pillar 4)

This is roughly 30–40 minutes of focused LinkedIn activity per day. At that cadence, scores in the 70–80 range hold or continue to climb.

Does SSI Directly Affect Reach or Visibility on LinkedIn?

No. LinkedIn has not confirmed any direct algorithmic boost tied to SSI score. Your posts do not get wider reach because your SSI is 80 rather than 50.

What SSI measures correlates with the behaviors that do drive results: posting regularly, engaging substantively, connecting with the right people, and following up. A high SSI is a byproduct of doing those things — not a cause of reach.

The practical implication: do not optimize for the number itself. Optimize for the behaviors. A seller who posts twice per week, comments every day, sends ten personalized connection requests per week, and follows up with new connections will naturally score in the 70+ range. They will also generate more pipeline. The score and the results come from the same source.

Where SSI does matter is for Sales Navigator. Some of LinkedIn's sales analytics features in Sales Navigator surface your SSI alongside pipeline tracking, and sales managers sometimes use it as a proxy metric for rep activity. If your organization is using SSI as a coaching metric, the four-pillar breakdown is more actionable than the total score.

How to Check Your LinkedIn SSI Score (Step by Step)

Checking your SSI takes less than 60 seconds:

1. Log in to LinkedIn at linkedin.com.
2. Navigate directly to linkedin.com/sales/ssi. As of mid-2025 this page requires Sales Navigator; free accounts see the discontinuation notice instead of a score.
3. Your total SSI score will appear prominently, along with a breakdown of each of the four pillar scores.
4. Below the score, LinkedIn shows two comparisons: how you rank against people in your industry, and how you rank against people in your network.
5. Identify your lowest-scoring pillar. That is where to focus first.

Check your SSI weekly, not daily. The score updates every 24 hours, but week-over-week trends are more meaningful than day-to-day fluctuations. If you improve one pillar significantly, the effect shows more clearly on a weekly cadence.

How to Use SSI Signals as Pipeline Triggers

A score is useful. A score linked to action is more useful. Here is how to turn SSI pillar data into prospecting decisions rather than just a number to watch.

Pillar 2 as a prospecting trigger. If your Pillar 2 score dropped week over week, it means you ran fewer searches and viewed fewer decision-maker profiles. That is a leading indicator that your pipeline is about to thin — because fewer profiles viewed this week means fewer connection requests next week means fewer conversations the week after. Check Pillar 2 every Monday. If it dipped, run an extra search session before end of day.

Pillar 3 as a warm signal detector. When a target prospect engages with your post — a comment, a like, a share — that is a warm signal that costs nothing to act on. Prospects who interact with your content before you reach out respond to connection requests at higher rates than cold outreach to people who have never seen you. Build a weekly habit of reviewing who engaged with your posts, and prioritize those people in your connection request queue.

Pillar 4 as a conversion funnel. Your Pillar 4 score is essentially a lagging indicator of your outreach volume and follow-through. If it is stuck below 15 despite sending connection requests, the bottleneck is either acceptance rate (fix: more targeted search and better personalization) or follow-up rate (fix: a system to track open conversations). Low Pillar 4 with high Pillar 2 almost always means the search is working but the follow-through is leaking.

SSI as a coaching dashboard for sales managers. If you manage a team, SSI by pillar is more useful than the total score. A rep with SSI 65 driven entirely by Pillar 1 (great profile, lots of content) but with Pillar 4 at 10 has a visibility problem, not a pipeline problem — they are building an audience but not converting it to conversations. A rep with Pillar 4 at 22 but Pillar 1 at 8 is connecting with people effectively but showing them a weak profile when they land on it. Pillar-level data tells you what to coach; the total score does not.

Prioritizing Pillar Improvements

If you are starting from a low score and want the fastest path to 70+, the order of difficulty matters:

Fastest to improve: Pillar 1 (Professional Brand). Profile changes are immediate. Writing a buyer-focused headline, completing missing sections, and publishing two posts in a week can move this pillar 5–8 points within seven days.

Medium effort: Pillar 2 (Find the Right People) and Pillar 3 (Engage With Insights). Both require daily habits but produce measurable results within two to three weeks of consistent activity.

Slowest to move: Pillar 4 (Build Relationships). This pillar is governed by actual human behavior — how many people accept your connection requests and respond to your messages. Volume and quality both matter. Expect four to six weeks of consistent outreach before this pillar moves substantially.

A practical starting framework:

• Week 1: Complete profile optimization (Pillar 1). Write buyer-focused headline, add Featured content, request two recommendations from recent clients.
• Week 2: Set up daily search routines and saved searches (Pillar 2). Target 15 profile views per day from searches.
• Week 3–4: Build the commenting habit (Pillar 3). Commit to five substantive comments per day. Set a daily calendar block.
• Month 2 onward: Maintain connection request volume (Pillar 4). Send 5–10 per day, follow up within 48 hours, engage with content before messaging.

FAQ

What is a good LinkedIn SSI score?

For B2B sellers who use LinkedIn as a primary prospecting channel, 70 or above is the practical target. Scores in the 51–70 range indicate consistent activity with room to improve. Scores below 50 typically reflect either an incomplete profile or irregular engagement.

How often does LinkedIn update your SSI score?

LinkedIn updates SSI scores every 24 hours. The score reflects activity from the trailing 90 days, with more recent activity weighted more heavily. This means improvements you make today will appear in tomorrow's score, but erasing a gap takes weeks of consistent activity — not a single day of effort.

Does LinkedIn SSI affect post reach or algorithmic visibility?

No. LinkedIn has not confirmed any direct connection between SSI score and content reach. A high SSI does not give your posts broader distribution. What it does reflect is a pattern of behaviors — regular posting, active engagement, targeted connection-building — that independently tend to produce better pipeline results. Optimize for the behaviors, not for the score.

Can I have a high SSI without Sales Navigator?

Your score still accrues without it — but since mid-2025, seeing the number requires Sales Navigator. Three of the four pillars (Professional Brand, Engage With Insights, and Build Relationships) score based on behaviors available to all LinkedIn users. Pillar 2 (Find the Right People) has more inputs available to Sales Navigator subscribers, but free users can still score reasonably by using LinkedIn's standard Boolean search, saving searches, and actively viewing prospect profiles. A committed free user can reach 65–70 SSI. Getting above 75 is significantly easier with Sales Navigator, which starts at US$ 89.99/month on the annual plan.

How long does it take to improve LinkedIn SSI?

Pillar 1 (Professional Brand) can improve within one week through profile optimization and publishing. Pillars 2 and 3 typically show meaningful movement within two to three weeks of daily activity. Pillar 4 (Build Relationships) is the slowest — expect four to six weeks before connection-building habits produce score movement. Total time to go from a score of 40 to a score of 70: approximately 30–45 days of consistent daily effort across all four pillars. To reach 80+, plan for 60 days for most people who commit to a daily LinkedIn routine.

Does SSI matter if I am not in a formal sales role?

SSI is most relevant for founders, SDRs, AEs, consultants, and anyone who actively prospects through LinkedIn. If your LinkedIn use is primarily for networking or passive visibility, SSI is less actionable. That said, the four behaviors SSI measures — a credible profile, targeted search, meaningful engagement, and relationship-building — are valuable for anyone building a professional presence, not just salespeople.

What happens to my SSI score if I stop posting for two weeks?

LinkedIn does not publish how fast the score decays. In practice, a two-week pause will not erase your score, but it can cause a noticeable dip in Pillar 1 (content output) and Pillar 3 (engagement) within days of inactivity. Pillar 4 tends to decay more slowly because accepted connections and relationship history carry some residual weight. If you need to step away, keep commenting at a reduced rate (two to three per day) to limit Pillar 3 decay. Resume full activity when you return and give it some time to recover the lost points.

Is SSI the same as LinkedIn's algorithm score?

No. SSI and LinkedIn's content distribution algorithm are separate systems. SSI is a sales productivity metric calculated from four behavioral pillars and visible to you (and your sales manager) in Sales Navigator. LinkedIn's content algorithm determines how widely your posts are distributed and is governed by a different set of signals — primarily early engagement rate, content format, and whether your post drives on-platform conversation. A high SSI does not guarantee wide post distribution, and viral content does not automatically produce a high SSI.

Using Chattie to Improve Pillar 4

Pillar 4 is where most sellers lose momentum. They connect with 50 people in a week and then have no system for tracking who replied, who went cold, and who needs a follow-up.

Chattie is an AI SDR built for LinkedIn that manages outbound conversations and tracks relationship-building activity at scale. It operates in two modes: Autopilot (the AI sends messages automatically) and Copilot (the AI drafts the message and a human approves before sending). You can switch modes at any point in a campaign.

Chattie sends connection invites, runs follow-up sequences, withdraws pending invites after 10 days automatically, and schedules meetings — all within fixed daily limits of 25 invites, 40 conversations, and 200 actions, sent only during business hours. Those limits are set and cannot be raised: they exist specifically to keep account risk low. LinkedIn's terms of service prohibit third-party automation tools, and no tool eliminates that risk entirely; Chattie's fixed volume caps reduce it.

When you run outreach through Chattie, every conversation thread is tracked — you can see at a glance who needs a reply, who has gone cold, and where conversations have stalled. That kind of systematic follow-through is exactly what Pillar 4 rewards. It is also what turns a high SSI from a tracking metric into booked meetings.

Chattie pricing: Solo US$ 75/month, Growth US$ 190/month (covers 3 LinkedIn accounts), Scale US$ 285/month. If you are working on improving your LinkedIn SSI and want a tool that handles the conversation management side — so your relationship-building effort does not leak through tracking gaps — see how Chattie works.

Conclusion

The LinkedIn Social Selling Index is not a vanity metric — it is a behavioral audit of how actively and strategically you use LinkedIn to build pipeline. Each of the four pillars reflects a distinct selling behavior: how credible your profile looks to buyers, how precisely you identify decision-makers, how consistently you contribute insights, and how deliberately you build relationships. A low SSI score almost always points to a specific gap in one of these behaviors, which means it also points to a specific fix.

The highest-leverage moves are sequential. Start with Pillar 1 — rewrite your headline, complete your profile, and publish original content twice a week. That alone can move your total score meaningfully within a week. Then layer in daily search activity for Pillar 2, consistent engagement with your target accounts' content for Pillar 3, and personalized outreach that converts views into conversations for Pillar 4. Use the 30-day checklist in this guide to sequence the work: profile in week one, search habits in week two, commenting in weeks three and four, and outreach volume from week four onward.

Treat SSI as a weekly dashboard, not a one-time optimization project, and your score will reflect the compounding effect of consistent activity. For most people starting between 40 and 60, reaching 80+ is achievable within 60 days of daily execution. The ceiling is set by how consistently you show up — not by anything LinkedIn is hiding from you.

If you want to turn a higher SSI into actual booked meetings, Chattie can help you close that gap. Chattie is built specifically for B2B founders and sales teams who want to convert LinkedIn activity into pipeline. Start turning your LinkedIn presence into revenue at https://trychattie.com.
