Did you meet someone new at a networking event? Connecting through LinkedIn will help you stay in touch. However, manually searching for the person’s name and sending a personalized request takes time—and may even lead to a missed opportunity if you wait too long. A fast, simple way is to use the LinkedIn QR code feature.

What Is a LinkedIn QR Code?

A LinkedIn QR code is a scannable code that links to your personal LinkedIn profile—skipping the search process. When someone scans your unique QR code with their mobile device, they are directed to your profile and a link that prompts them to connect.

Where Can You Find It?

If you haven’t already, install the LinkedIn app on your mobile device. Open the app and click the search bar at the top of your homepage. Then, tap the QR code icon and your code will appear, ready to be scanned.

What Are Ways To Leverage the Code?

Once you have accessed your QR code, you don’t need to open the app each time to have it scanned. Instead, save the code to your image gallery or onto your phone’s main screen. You can also include it in your marketing, such as on your physical business cards, listing presentations, and open house flyers.

By simplifying the initial connection, you increase your chances of building a larger network of professional relationships for growing your real estate business.
