Looking for a way to finally and effectively leverage all that the LinkedIn platform has to offer you or your clients? You’ve heard it can help you generate new leads and gain a competitive advantage, but how?
I help business owners, corporate professionals, and entrepreneurs, like you, maximize your use of LinkedIn for business growth, opportunity generation, and personal brand building.
Today, experts agree, expanding your LinkedIn network is crucial to advancing your career or growing your business and did you know your LinkedIn profile is one of the first things that comes up when someone Googles you? Read more because cracking the code and developing mastery of this powerful tool is definitely worth your valuable time.
Have you recently said, “I’ve been on LinkedIn for years now, but I’m still not sure what I’m supposed to be doing on it?” Are you finally ready to “crack the code” and start landing clients on LinkedIn? Have your weekly profile views flatlined, and you want more control of your LinkedIn profile and privacy on the platform? Or maybe LinkedIn’s latest interface has you stuck and frustrated?
In recent years, LinkedIn has become much more than a professional social network. LinkedIn has evolved into a powerful lead generation tool for many businesses and it’s not only a self-refreshing contact database, share space and content aggregator, it also expands your digital footprint and searchable “brand.” Its features, like Publisher and Groups, lend themselves well to connecting businesses with prospects.
In fact, if you want to boost your brand’s visibility and drive leads, I believe it is still a key place to invest your time online. I also believe that it’s the powerful combination of LinkedIn and offline networking that will bring you the best results. Start learning how to leverage LinkedIn to build a great reputation – and drive new business relationships today.
How would you like to learn to:
- cultivate your professional brand on LinkedIn and attract clients, strategic partners, and other targeted audiences,
- make the most of content sharing and status updates,
- use LinkedIn to drive 4x more traffic to your website and gain a competitive advantage,
- publish your own blog on their platform?
I can teach you all this and more during a private session or customized workshop for you and your team. Let me help you transform your LinkedIn presence to get the results you want.

LinkedIn offers many other ways to promote your business, yourself, and your ideas to the audience you want to target. Groups are not the right forum to do this. Groups are all about building relationships through conversation about topics and ideas with a two-way dialogue.
Not sure if managing a group or participating in group discussions is right for you? Consider these options to promote your business or ideas instead:
- Create a Company Page. If you offer professional services and want to promote your business, consider creating a Company Page for your business.
- Publish your ideas to reach a wider audience. The LinkedIn publishing platform offers a great opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge in a certain area to a broad audience with the purpose of promoting ideas, as opposed to promoting commercial services. Your long-form posts are tied to your LinkedIn identity and provide an effective way to stand out from the crowd while building your professional reputation.

Social Selling Essentials for LinkedIn:
Social Selling Essentials: How to Drive New Business on LinkedIn
Digital disruption has forever changed the sales and marketing landscape. Instead of waiting to be told about a company’s products and services, buyers are turning to social media to research vendors and make buying decisions.
- According to a LinkedIn “State of Sales” survey, more than 70 percent of sales professionals use social selling tools, including LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook, making them the most widely used sales technology.
In this new environment, it’s more crucial than ever for sales and marketing to align and create a united social media strategy to reach prospective customers. Organizations that have embraced social selling are able to influence buyers throughout their buying journey, provide them more value and ultimately drive sales success.
Social selling has also grown as today’s generation of sales professionals have learned to leverage their online networks. They have used these networks to share knowledge, promote their offerings and reach decision-makers who are becoming increasingly difficult to find through traditional cold calling techniques. This proactive and strategic approach is key if your company wants to leverage the LinkedIn platform.
In this workshop you’ll learn:
- How sales, marketing, and customers benefit when a company adopts a social selling approach
- Ways marketing and sales can align their social selling efforts to connect with more people, boost brand recognition and drive sales
- How your business can leverage social selling to generate better leads and close more deals
LinkedIn Live speaker, and former corporate business development pro, Sandy Jones-Kaminski will share how she and many others have tapped into the vast LinkedIn network to discover high-quality prospects, raise their visibility, create engagement and generate warm introductions through proven social selling tactics and their digital connections, all while creating strong relationships and opportunities that drive new business.
