Abstract: Techniques for presenting a profile card personalized to a member of a social network are described. A first viewer profile can be selected, using member data, from a list of profiles of viewers having viewed a first member profile of a first member, the member data having profile attributes associated with each profile. Additionally, a profile card can be generated for the selected first viewer profile based on the profile attributes associated with the first viewer profile. Moreover, a relevance score for a first highlight associated with the selected first viewer profile can be calculated based on the member data of the first member profile. Furthermore, the profile card can be updated to include the first highlight when the calculated relevance score for the first highlight is higher than a predetermined threshold value. Subsequently, a user interface can cause a presentation of the profile card on a display of a device of the first member.

Abstract: A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method as described herein are directed to a Sales Lead Engine that links external data to social network data from a social network service. The Sales Lead Engine determines the external data and the social network data satisfy a sales lead criterion. The Sales Lead Engine identifies an organization account in the social network service identified by the external data and the social network data. The Sales Lead Engine provides a sales lead notification to a target member account based on a selection by the target member account to follow the organization account in the social network service.
