LinkedIn Profile Critique & Makeover
- Be Found:

Your LinkedIn Profile is your presence on LinkedIn. You can't do anything in LinkedIn unless you have a Profile. It's not the same as your resume. Your resume is the starting point for your Profile. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to make their Profile backwards-oriented like a resume. And when someone searches and finds your Profile, they decide right then whether to connect with you, contact you, or consider you for a position or to hire you and your company. It's also like your personal Web page, and you can use it in marketing yourself and your business. If your LinkedIn Profile doesn't stand out and isn't found when people do searches, you won't get far in getting the job you want or grow your company and get clients. Call me and we'll schedule your LinkedIn Profile Makeover. The Makeover includes a questionnaire before our call and follow-up by e-mail. If an ongoing coaching program makes sense to reach your goals as quickly as you want, I'll give you three ways we can work together and you choose the best way to go forward.

Books:

Mastering LinkedIn in 7 Days or Less

This book is perfect for you if you're busy, and want to get results now. My philosophy is, "You don't have to know how the engine works to drive a car". It's the same with LinkedIn. When I wanted to know how to use LinkedIn myself, I read several books. They were written by people who are more computer savvy than I am, and told me all the possible bells and whistles in LinkedIn. It was too much to read! And after I'd read them, I still didn't know how to get results with LinkedIn. I knew how to do searches. Who exactly do I search for? And how do I know if I've found the contacts who'll help me out?

You get day by day steps with specific things to do that you can do in 20-30 minutes a day, so you're really using LinkedIn and starting to get results. It works whether you're looking for your best clients, for business partners, for your next position, advancing your career or looking for your next superstar employee. To be successful, all it takes is a commitment to 20-30 minutes/day. LinkedIn works!
