Connected Communications Via LinkedIn – One of Today’s "Tools of the Trade"
In today’s business environment:
- It’s critical we learn how to maximize our communication options, informing members/customers about valuable products and services, providing ways for those same members to share their knowledge/experiences and connect in a “safe” community. We need to be a trusted resource that they keep coming back to, or are attracted to, because we add value. We care about their well-being and success.
- As a movement, credit unions have been built, and continue to thrive, upon the philosophy of “People Helping People”. With hectic schedules, often crazy commutes, project overloads, lean staffing and more, it’s even more important we not only maintain our network, but grow a base of contacts to share challenges and successes with.
There is an online tool to help! It’s simple, easy to use, can be updated immediately and best of all: it’s free!
Is LinkedIn something you have just heard about? A place where you set up your profile (information) a couple of years ago, but haven’t really thought about since then?
If you haven’t visited LinkedIn in the last three or so months, I recommend you take a moment to visit and explore this social media communication and networking tool.

Great reminder. Now more than ever credit unions need to connect. Everyone is in need of cutting costs. It seems credit unions sometimes forget to use the foundation they were started on "collaboration."
