Edison Mail+ Adds New LinkedIn Discovery for Busy Professionals
Build your network faster and simpler as new connections enter your inbox.
LinkedIn Discovery, the newest Edison Mail+ feature helps you get to a contact’s LinkedIn profile in just two taps, from the convenience of your mailbox.
Save yourself the tedious effort of searching LinkedIn for an email contact’s profile, the direct link is now included as their emails appear.
Email is the digital communication hub, a home for introductions and making new connections. Whether it’s introductory emails, cold outreach emails, or business proposals, email is a powerful tool for everyone who relies on it for their business. In fact, emails are so important to salespeople that they spend about 21% of their day writing them, according to recent research.
Of course, the place most professionals (reportedly as many as 706 million) spend their time building connections today is on the social media site, LinkedIn, with more than half (57%) doing so from their mobile device.
Any modern professional — from job seekers and entrepreneurs, to email marketers and sales pros, invests at least some of their time on LinkedIn to build their network. When you consider that the COVID-19 pandemic has eliminated many professional opportunities for face to face networking (remember drinks after work and industry conferences?), you can understand the importance that the site offers as an online equivalent to rely on instead.
Just a few months ago, Edison Mail debuted its first premium subscription, Edison Mail+, built to equip your inbox with powerful AI-based security features amid increasing email threats and a concerning rise in phishing scams. Abilities including Verify Sender, Spam Blocker, Inbox Caller ID, and Validate Contacts, were engineered from the ground up to empower you to feel safe in your mailbox again.
Having confidence that your inbox is secure allows you to then focus on the opportunities that exist in email rather than worry about lurking dangers. This is why today we are announcing that Edison Mail+ will expand its feature set with a brand new addition to help you grow your network.
Introducing Edison Mail+ LinkedIn Discovery.
LinkedIn Discovery offers a faster and simpler way for you to immediately access a contact’s LinkedIn profile. If an email contact of yours has a LinkedIn profile, Edison Mail+ will discover it and showcase the LinkedIn logo at the top of the message within the avatar bubble, so you never have to go search for the information. In just two taps, you will leave their message and be directed to their LinkedIn profile, without wasting any extra time looking up an email sender or recipient yourself. When you’re finished vetting the LinkedIn profile or sending your invitation to connect, simply tap on <Email on the top left corner, and you’ll be able to go back to the message in your Edison Mail app inbox.
Edison Mail+ LinkedIn Discovery is ideal for busy professionals who live in their email. Now you can research and confirm that the individuals you are in contact with are legitimate, determine if you want to connect to them, and if appropriate, grow your network as emails enter your inbox -- all in one place and in a faster, easier way.
LinkedIn Discovery is the fifth feature included in the Edison Mail+ subscription package, available for iOS at $14.99 per month or $99.99 per year. For non-Edison Mail+ subscribers, LinkedIn Discovery will be available to try out for free up to three times.
LinkedIn Discovery adds to the variety of Edison Mail features built for business use in mind. It joins the app’s existing features like Templates to simplify sending the same email content repeatedly, Rich Text Editing to customize messages when special formatting is needed, and a built-in Assistant to preview your day’s upcoming meetings and travel plans. It also complements Edison Mail+ features like Validate Contacts, which discovers new or changed contact information as it enters your mailbox and offers to update your iPhone’s address book with the new details so contacts are always current.
Edison Mail+ will continue to add value to subscribers by expanding and improving its feature set, offering consumers and professionals alike a premium experience when spending time with email.
