DESCRIPTION
Inspiration. Success. Opportunity. These are just a few of our favorite things that small businesses are talking about on LinkedIn. We recently had the pleasure of hosting 100 local small businesses in our Mountain View and New York offices to learn more about their unique business challenges and goals. Before the event, we set out to learn more about small businesses on LinkedIn. What are they talking about? Where are they growing? What sparks their interest, and what makes them feel inspired? We poked around, asked questions, and did some digging and our LinkedIn Small Business Snapshot was born. We wrapped up our findings in this nifty infographic. See the original blog post here: http://blog.linkedin.com/2013/10/28/what-small-business-looks-like-on-linkedin-infographic/
