Book a LinkedIn workshop to network online productively

As the world’s biggest business to business only networking site with more than 130 million business people registered, are you getting the most out of this online networking event? If I said there were CEOs and Business Owners meeting at a local venue, would you take a drive to join in the conversation and put yourself in their space? I bet you would, but now you don’t even need to take a drive. It’s online, 24/7.

There are now approximately 500,000 New Zealand business people now registered on Linkedin with the most popular titles being Manager, Director, Company Owner and CEO.

But are you using this great tool as much as you could? Not only for networking, but for your brand exposure and other's due diligence too. By only have a half filled out profile posted, it can sometimes be more damaging to your personal or business brand than not having a profile posted at all. What impression does it give to your prospects when they look you up online to find out more about you? Don’t be left behind, find out how your team can get working with Linkedin properly.

The workshop will run through:

1. Getting consistency across your individual brands / company brand

10. Personalizing templates
11. Recommendations and using them
12. Declining connection requests
13. How to use Inmails to your advantage

By the end of the workshop, you will have a clear understanding about why LinkedIn is important to your online profile, how to use the site to grow your business connection base and better represent your company brand to attract new business.
