Imagine LinkedIn was an in-person networking event…
There are some things you’d NEVER do in real life… πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

❌ You’d never go to a conference in your beach-wear or your wedding dress

❌ You’d never share your resumΓ© if it didn’t make you look good

❌ You’d never walk up to strangers and give them a sales pitch

❌ You’d never only talk about yourself and your company, and never learn about the other person

Here’s what you SHOULD / WOULD do….

βœ… Dress up and make a good first impression

βœ… Mingle, and meet new people

βœ… Ask questions to figure out if the other person could possibly be a potential customer or collaborator

βœ… Exchange business cards with those people who you find relevant and interesting

In contrast to an in-person event, LinkedIn has some advantages:

⚑ It’s on 24 / 7 / 365

⚑ It’s virtually free

⚑ Everyone’s here

⚑ A LinkedIn connection can’t go missing in the wash like a business card

Take advantage of this platform by ticking these boxes:

– Make sure your profile is as clear and compelling as possible

(check out the LinkedIn CookBook in the Featured section of my profile)

– Come here often and add people to your network

– Share helpful insights with your followers

– Be yourself, be human. People come to social media to hear from the people – not necessarily to hear from your company

πŸ’ͺ All you need is a simple strategy.
