LinkedIn Essentials Day – London

The LinkedIn Essentials day in London is designed to help people who consider that they are not yet getting the best from their activity on LinkedIn or who, in their own words, think “I don’t really know HOW to use it.” We also make sure that those who are already using the basics are able to up their game in their own specialist area whether that be sales, marketing or recruitment.

The sessions are built on 6 years experience working with individuals and companies on LinkedIn and there are 4 sessions each covering a key business function of LinkedIn that you may be interested in using more effectively.

You can see a breakdown of the sessions and an overview of what they cover below.

Using examples live on LinkedIn, the LinkedIn Essentials sessions are designed to ensure that you are best placed to use the power and opportunities of LinkedIn for you & your business, giving you the know-how to present yourself, market your services and the company, identify and approach prospects and also develop new business or recruit through it.

It’s up to you whether you come for 1 or 2 sessions … or indeed if you want to stay for them all. It depends on what you wish to get out of LinkedIn and out of the day itself.

Who’s it for?

The individual workshops are aimed at people who wish to:

• Present themselves in the best possible way on LinkedIn to achieve their objectives
• Get more customers for themselves or their company
• Find the decision makers they need to talk to
• Gain a marketing edge over your competition and keep yourself visible in your market
• Understand how to use LinkedIn to recruit more effectively
• Plan their time on LinkedIn to use it more efficiently

Questions are encouraged throughout – the format is a mixture of slides, used to introduce the key areas we are looking at, before then going online to demonstrate the capabilities of the site in live situations.
