Getting the most out of LinkedIn

[Fast Bug]

Morning,

I'm a fleet salesman for cars and I kind of think that I'm missing a trick with LinkedIn. In so much that I don't really use it, I have profile and so on, but the only use(?) has been for recruitment people to get hold of me.

Now I don't really wish to we myself all over the show with it, but any tips for trying to pick up additional leads with it? Does anyone other than recruitment people get anything out of it?

don't try to flog stuff.

Er, but that's my ultimate goal

Ok let me rephrase that, it is my ultimate goal by extending my network of contacts. I wouldn't be spamming the heck out of LinkedIn with finance offers and all that jazz. I just think I'm missing a trick with it really. I've applied to join some groups and updated my profile so it's not a 'recruiter look at me' as it used to be

I do corporate fleet so it is in a business context and not a retail context
