Awiden vs LinkedIn
LinkedIn grows your network.
Awiden puts it to work.
LinkedIn shows who is connected. Awiden shows how well your team actually knows someone, from real conversations, and who should make the introduction.
“Who can get me to Rachel Pryce at Meridell Health?”
A list of shared connections. It cannot tell you which of them actually talk to her, or which one would make the introduction.
Awiden
Alex knows her wellLast spoke in October
Sam has met her twiceLast spoke in MayOf everyone connected to her, Alex is the one who actually talks to her.
Three things LinkedIn is not built to do.
How well, from real conversations
Who has actually emailed or met someone, and when, not who clicked Connect years ago.
Which colleague should ask
The warmest route through your own team, ranked.
The introduction, with their yes
Ask in one step. Your colleague decides, and sends it from their own email.
Connections are not relationships.
