How to use the latest features in LinkedIn to really grow your business.

OK its the last full working week before Christmas so its a good time to reflect on the last year and put in place plans for next year. Once thing that has really changed this year is LinkedIn.

LinkedIn continues to grow and grow. Its amazing how many business people I now see using LinkedIn so widely compared to just a year ago.

This year LinkedIn has added lot’s of new features that help marketing managers and business owners to network and develop their business and of course reach more customers and potential customers.

The really key features are now :

-The new improved LinkedIn Profile

-The new improved LinkedIn Company Page

-Follow Us

-Skill Endorsements (controversial these)

-Likes

-Sharing

-Updating

-LinkedIn Today

-Answers

-Groups

A lot has changed on LinkedIn this year and its now an even bigger source of business than ever.

I have noticed how many of my clients seem to prefer one to one tuition to a course or workshop. So with that in mind I have developed and ran a number of LinkedIn One to Ones for a variety of businesses The reaction has been great here’s what a some of them said:

Clair Wilkinson and Sandra Venables
Franchise Consultants Green Frog Consultancy

“I had a one to one training session on LinkedIn with Richard and I now really understand how amazing LinkedIn really is. I now have all the tools and techniques I need to really get the best out of a very powerful marketing tool. I wanted to know what Linkedin was used for and how it could be used to help me grow my business.Thanks to the ’50 day action plan’ I now feel really motivated to put aside half an hour a day to get the most out of it. Richard certainly knows how social media can help a business grow . I am now looking forward to finding out all about Twitter .“

‘Thank you Richard for the one to one training session for Linked in. I was secretly pleased that the group training had been cancelled. I found your training to be extremely informative and as you will see if you look at my profile I put your training to good use immediately. I have already received a business enquiry and hope to receive many more. Once again thank you. I now look forward to my Twitter training course. ‘

So I have a special offer for you.

The first 10 people who come back to me can book their 2 hour LinkedIn One to One with me for a special price of £60+vat (a 30% discount).

I’ll come out and see you and really help you make LinkedIn work for you.
