Linkedin for Business #1.1- Upgrade Your Profile Part 2 of 2

Linkedin continues to be the popular choice for serious business people.With almost 700 million members in over 200 countries and 175,000 new profiles being created every day, its success continues.

According to research by Linkedin, 50% of clients will avoid doing business with suppliers without a fully completed Linkedin profile. This means that not having a 100% complete profile could be costing you valuable opportunities.

93% of recruiters use Linkedin to find candidates, but only 50% of users have an ‘All Star’ or fully completed profile and having a strong profile makes you 18 times more likely to be contacted for a new opportunity. Quite simply, without a strong Linkedin profile you are pretty much invisible to recruiters, hiring managers & clients.

At Workshop #1.1 in my popular ‘Linkedin for Business’ series, you will build on what you learned in Workshop #1.0.

Linkedin has a process called the 4 pillars of success. These are:

1. Establish your Personal brand with an All-Star or 100% complete profile
2. Use Linkedin identify & target decision-making level, budget holding clients
3. Be active on the site by posting interesting content & engaging with other posts

ONLY when you do these things in that exact order, will you achieve the 4th pillar of success:

4. Build strong relationships with your connections
