Informed Podcast by Mark Williams. The podcast for LinkedIn™️ users

LinkedInTM️ say that 10 million users have a services page, a 48% increase year on year.

But the vast majority of those profiles aren't really freelancers or even service providers!

In addition, LinkedInTM️ are stating that there has been a 65% increase in service enquiries. My experience tallies with this but the enquiries are almost mostly inappropriate & irrelevant!

Services has so much potential but it's LinkedInTM️'s worst feature...poorly designed and implemented.

This is what I think they could do to improve it.
