Whether or not you decide to leverage LinkedIn on a daily basis, positioning your
profile to reflect your subject matter expertise is foundational to building your
professional reputation. Shifting your profile’s focus from a resume to a resource
gives you the opportunity to educate your buyers with valuable insights and it gets
them excited to take your call.
What is Social Selling
with LinkedIn?
Develop a Buyer-Centric Profile
Engage with Your Existing Network
One of the biggest mistakes professionals make on LinkedIn is to connect and forget.
Welcoming new connections, staying engaged with those viewing your profile,
sharing content and when events happen is foundational to staying top of mind,
relevant and building relationships. And, don’t forget that a significant part of
engaging well is listening to your network and learning from them.
Prospect Targeted Buyers
Educating your prospects, clients and followers establishes your thought leadership and subject
matter expertise.
Blogging on Publisher or leveraging LinkedIn’s Native Video are easy ways to share knowledge
and offer tips and strategies to your readers. The insights that you share in updates, publications
and conversations will enhance your presence and ultimately attract and engage your target
market.
Educate Your Network with Insights
