The DABGO network is getting so large that it can from time to time be hard to find just the right Dane to contact for your challenge. Let us review a simple and easy way to use the search function in the DABGO network on Linkedin.

Let us assume for this exercise that we need to contact a friendly and likeminded Dane with IBM in Canada.

Here is how to do it:

Step 1:

Open Linkedin and select the menu option “People” on the top left hand side of the page:

 

Once you have clicked on the “People” menu option this screen will open:

 

Step 2:

Select the DABGO group for your search. Type in the specific terms you are looking for; in this case “IBM” and “Canada” as shown above then click “search”. You will now see a list with the results of your search, in this case 2.

 

Step 3:

Review the options presented from your search and decided who is most relevant to contact. Let us say in this case Mr. Christian Boserup is the ideal person for your question then you would click on his profile and see a new page like this:

 

Step 4:

Select the contact option “Send a message” on the right side of the screen next to the picture and a message box will then open.

Enter the message or question you would like to discuss with your fellow DABGO member and press “Send”.

It is that simple. Now, try it out with some terms relevant to your challenges. Remember you are also always more than welcome to contact your DABGO team if we can assist you in any way. Happy networking.
