Private business owners - Do you pay for LinkedIn Premium?

If so, why? What main benefits do you get from it that make the £35+ a month worth it?

Tempting to get it as I need to do a tonne of networking over the next 6 months prior to my next private venture and never relied upon Linked in more than just using it to keep in contact with... Well, connections.

I looked into this briefly recently when I set up a business page, couldn't see any benefit. Interesting to see what others think though.

What particular features do you think would be of any use?

Nope, it's such a powerful tool however.

Mostly networking, the new venture will be heavily dependant upon it, so features like messaging will be of great use. As it will be state side, I need a strong presence on LinkedIn. It's fairly decent already, but it's focused on my personal career not companies. Aside from my previous private company I had for when I was contracting.

I'm curious how LinkedIn premium will change my profiles outlook for prospective clients as well as my current network.
