Lastly July, LinkedIn announced that it had acquired PointDrive a sales tool which allows sales professionals to package, share and track customer content. Sales professionals using LinkedIn Sales Navigator earlier relied on third-party tools, designers and developers to craft content. Also, they never had a complete picture of whether the prospect viewed or interacted with the content shared.
With PointDrive now LinkedIn empowers Sales Navigator users to deliver differentiated buyer engagement. PointDrive enables Sales Navigator users to provide a personalized experience to their prospects. The user can customize the PointDrive presentation by adding relevant sales files including PowerPoint Deck, PDF, URL, Maps, and videos.

PointDrive Profile
Every user has the option of maintaining a separate profile on PointDrive. Changes made in the profile are not reflected in the LinkedIn user profile. The users can add their name, website, title, company, and phone number on the profile.
Pre-Sales to Post-Sales
Sales professionals can pre-wire their presentation to their next call or demo to make sure that the prospect is prepared for the materials to be covered. They can alternately also send the presentation after the meeting as a recap of the items included. They can also send contract documents and resources to prospects.
