Why to mention someone in linkedin post?

So before we start, let’s try to understand what is the usefulness to mention or tag someone on LinkedIn.

First of all, usually when you mention someone, the mentioned person gets a direct notification that they have been mentioned.

You share the reach of your community and the community of the person tagged, if the person that has been tagged in comments on your post (as far as we know).

It is a professional way of networking and giving credit to people. Especially for events, co-workers, or colleagues.
