Overview

In the morning, we focus on getting the key elements in place from which you can build a platform for you and your business within the site – something that will put you in the best possible place going forward. We look at setting up and making the most of your personal profile, your company profile as well as looking at the settings to ensure privacy and yet allow you to benefit fully from the sales and marketing potential of the site.

After lunch our focus moves to how you can best use LinkedIn to find the right connections for you and your business. This session will concentrate on core business building functionality through proactive targeting of contacts and prospects, increasing your own visibility and branding across the site and ensuring that you can use the tools available to achieve business success.
