LinkedIn as a Strategic Marketing Tool
LinkedIn is a business social network that has been the “sleeper” in the industry and it should be a part of your marketing strategy. With over 1 million people joining each week, it has the power to connect you with potential clients, employers, employees, and partners. Those that comprise the more than 100 million LinkedIn users tend to be a more affluent and influential group and are there for business, not social connections. Two billion people-searches were conducted last year inside of LinkedIn. Your profile is being viewed! Every business executive needs to have a great online presence, and that is what this powerful social network can give you.
During this 2 hour session, you will learn:
