Linkedin

LinkedIn usage is soaring, with the platform seeing ‘record levels of engagement’ for the last five quarters, and as economic activity begins to ramp up once again, in the gradual recovery from the pandemic, those usage rates are only going to increase, as professionals seek new opportunities, and brands look to connect with new talent to cater to demand. But LinkedIn can also be a powerful platform for selling too, with many key decision-makers highly active in the app. If you’re a B2B business, in particular, LinkedIn offers strong potential in this respect – but it can also pose challenges in approaching users the right way, and pitching your products and services to the right people in the app. LinkedIn offers solutions like its Sales Navigator platform to assist with this, but it does cost money, and it can be difficult to know whether it’s worth the investment for your business, and what sort of value salespeople can glean from the platform in this respect. So how should salespeople be using LinkedIn, and should you be signing up to a Sales Navigator subscription to optimize your approach? We recently put these questions to Mitali Pattnaik, the Director of Product Management…

Jonathan Neman, co-founder and co-CEO of sweetgreen.David A. Grogan | CNBCSweetgreen CEO and co-founder Jonathan Neman wrote a LinkedIn post Tuesday connecting obesity to the ongoing pandemic, saying "no vaccine nor mask will save us" and proposing taxes on processed food and refined sugar.The post was deleted Wednesday, several hours after Vice published a story about it. Even before Vice's article, commenters on Neman's original post were calling his argument "fat-phobic."Sweetgreen confidentially filed for an initial public offering in June, making this an inopportune time for controversy surrounding the company. Consumer backlash could hurt both its reputation and sales, turning off investors.Neman's commentary comes as the U.S. battles another wave of new Covid-19 cases, leading some localities to impose vaccination or mask requirements. As of Aug. 31, the seven-day average of daily new U.S. cases reached 160,455, up 6% from a week ago, according to a CNBC analysis of Johns Hopkins University data. Health officials have pointed to the highly contagious delta variant as the culprit, particularly in regions with low vaccination rates."78% of hospitalizations due to COVID are Obese and Overweight people," Neman wrote in the post. "Is there an underlying problem that perhaps we have not given enough attention…

A new startup called Clay, backed by $8 million in seed funding, has built a system designed to help you be more thoughtful with the people in your life, which operates somewhat like a personal CRM. With Clay, you build a collection of the people you meet by connecting your email and calendar with social apps, including Twitter and LinkedIn. Clay then populates each person’s entry with all the relevant information you would need to recall for any future meeting — ranging from their work history to latest tweets to the details on how you met and when you last communicated, among other things. You also can add notes of your own to each entry, click to activate reminders to follow up with certain people and organize entries into groups. The app supports a command bar, keyboard shortcuts and home screen widgets, as well. The end result is something that’s not exactly an address book but also not necessarily as sales and pipeline-focused as a CRM system. Clay’s founders instead refer to their app as a “home for your people,” as it’s attempting to carve out a new space in the market for a more personal system of tracking who…
