At the heart of this report is a simple quest: to have lawyers speak to their audiences better. It’s the one that has driven me in this profession for the past 25 years.
LinkedIn is used by hundreds of millions of business professionals every week, and it’s the most complete set of CRM data in a single place that the world has ever known.
Equally, LinkedIn is a learning platform, a publishing platform, one that encourages you to find groups, a source of and place to surface testimonials, a talent platform, a research tool, an alumni platform, a place to extend your working relationships, ad one on which to remain front of mind with less regular clients and contacts.
Ask not “should I be on LinkedIn?” and instead ask “How should I be on LinkedIn?”
The 100+ voices from the UK’s legal sector that we have highlighted here are an inspiring bunch of lawyers and business professionals who have taken up the gauntlet and run with it. That’s something to celebrate as we contemplate a future in which relationship marketing will be ever more important.
Congratulations if you made the list this quarter. You’ve earned it.
The methodology is the same as last quarter. We find the top voices on Legal LinkedIn and we count all their likes and comments. There’s no value judgment in it.
We add the likes to four times the comments – just like LinkedIn’s algorithm does – to give each post a power score.
We add up each person’s posts scores to give an overall total.
Simple but effective.
Let’s look at Jen Shipley’s score:
50,657 likes this quarter + (4*5,560 comments this quarter) = 72,897 as her overall Q3 Power Score
The rules for inclusion are that each of the listed people makes the various lists if they:
Should you be ranked in our Top 100?
The report includes a link to a calculator where you can work out whether you should be included in our Top 100.
If your power score:
is over 14,000, you’d rank in the top 10
is over 5,000, you’d rank in the top 25
is over 1,700, you’d rank in the top 100
So if you score anything over 1,700, please do drop us a line and we’ll include you in our future rankings.
