Editor's Notes

  • #11 I wanted to walk you through our core value propositions and there are three. The first is professional identity. And ultimately we want to be in a position where we're going to be able to connect and enable our membership to find and be found. Whenever you need to search for a professional, someone you're about to meet with, someone you want to convert from a cold call to a warm prospect. Someone whose knowledge you'd like to be able to tap.  We want you to be able to leverage LinkedIn to make that possible and that starts with the LinkedIn profile. By virtue of reaching critical mass with these profiles, we're able to do some extremely innovative and disruptive things. So, for example, we ultimately want to eliminate the resume. You should never have to use a paper resume again to apply with a job. You should be able to click a button and apply with LinkedIn.  We want to eliminate the business card. We want to eliminate the rolodex. You should never have to manually update your connections information again when they change geography or change company, because when they refresh their profile, it should propagate throughout the system. So ultimately we want to be the professional address book in the Cloud.  We're also the definitive professional search engine. We're on an annualized run rate to do over four billion search queries this year, all within a professional context. So that's what we have in mind when we talk about the importance of professional identity. I'm going to drill down a little deeper into all three of these areas in just a moment.  The second is that we ultimately want to be able to deliver professional insights, business intelligence that you can't find anywhere else that enable people to be great at the jobs that they're already in. To make better, faster decisions. And we do that by extracting as much relevancy as possible, based on the information, the knowledge, the data that is being propagated and flowing through our network day in and day out.  We want to create as strong a signal as we can to cut through that information overload. And lastly is this notion of everywhere. We want to work wherever our members work. And that means no longer expecting people to be tethered to their desktops. We're making major investments in mobile and we're increasingly pushing our assets and our APIs to third-party developers, publishers and our marketing partners. And we're going to be talking a little bit about that later today.  So those are the three cornerstones of our platform and our value proposition. All together this value prop has led to some very healthy results in terms of our ability to reach critical mass on a global basis.

In fact, the value increases over time. And there’s no cap to the amount of value you can create. Acquiring followers is like owning a home instead of renting. Let’s look at the model reflected on this slide. What we have is an initial cost that is amortized over each subsequent touch point with a high-quality audience that has opted-into a direct relationship with you. (X axis = time; Y axis = cost)If you were to try to accomplish this with traditional display, what would it cost? How much would you have to spend to acquire an audience of high-quality professionals that has opted-into a direct relationship? How much would you have to spend to target that same audience with different messages based on their respective industry, job function, seniority, company size, location, or even gender on a weekly basis over a year? Would that even be possible? Key Takeaway: There’s no limit to the value you can create over time with Followers.
