Good feature in LinkedIn...

Last month, I had subscribed to LinkedIn's paid membership. One of the features (as many know) is LinkedIn has an "Inmail" facility which lets you reach out to anyone you see on LinkedIn (almost, anyone?).

Now, one of the promises made by LinkedIn is a Response Guarantee when using Inmail. This got me thinking - after all, how can LinkedIn ensure every one we inmail will send back a response? So what happens if the person does not respond?

What happens is this - If the person you have inmailed does not respond, LinkedIn waits for a particular period of time and credits the email count back to your account. Let us say you were able to inmail 8 people and you consume 1 which does not get a response, it rolls back the 1 inmail back to your account, leaving you with 8 again.

Good one, LinkedIn. Cheers to that!
