LinkedIn is the single largest purpose-built platform for building a professional data pipe on the internet.

However, strong professional relationships transcend a single platform.

To give your career a boost, it’s important to open multichannel communication lines with your LinkedIn contacts.

Exporting your LinkedIn contact

A good way to do that is by exporting your LinkedIn contacts to Gmail.

Well, for starters, not all LinkedIn users actively use the platform.

Exporting your LinkedIn contacts to Gmail lets you fast-track conversations and increases the chance of your messages being seen.

And then there’s the issue of losing your LinkedIn account.

LinkedIn will send the exported data as a CSV file to the email address linked to your LinkedIn account.

You’ll then have to download and add the data to your Gmail account.
