LinkedIn have introduced a way to contact a Company Page directly on the platform – the new Page Messaging Inbox.
You can now enable messaging directly for your page. When you enable messages for your Page, LinkedIn members can send a message directly to your Page and super and content admins can reply to the message.
Previously, if someone wanted to connect with your company, they either could leave a public comment, or use the custom action button to find out more about your business.
