PeopleLinx

While working at LinkedIn together, Baynes and Nathan Egan pitched to LinkedIn's board the idea of offering professional services.

[2] [4] With the aim to help large corporate organizations and their employees get the most out of social networks, during the first two years of operations the company offered LinkedIn-focused consulting and training programs, [12] but the primarily Fortune 500 corporate customers wanted something with scale that would offer continued engagement beyond the training, together with associated metrics of success. [12] The result was the SaaS-based PeopleLinx, the world's first engagement, social selling, and analytics software for social media.[ citation needed ]
