I literally have a guy in India that works for me to help me with outreach and I told him to associate himself with our company but since he is doing outreach to use another LI account. Mostly I expected him to be overly enthysiastic and get himself banned. He is super nice, just graduated some business school.
I don't even want to comment on these two who made you use your LI for sales. LI is professional network but anything agressive that can spoil your profile is something you don't want to do. I doubt they did it for 20 yrs.
There were places I worked where I didn't show in my LI that I am working there, you can do for all kinds of reasons, sometimes you don't want to be pestered by sales people for example.
