With almost 700 million members in over 200 countries and 175,000 new profiles being created every day, its success continues.

According to research by Linkedin, 50% of clients will avoid doing business with suppliers without a fully completed Linkedin profile. This means that not having a 100% complete profile could be costing you valuable opportunities.

93% of recruiters use Linkedin to find candidates, but only 50% of users have an ‘All Star’ or fully completed profile and having a strong profile makes you 18 times more likely to be contacted for a new opportunity. Quite simply, without a strong Linkedin profile you are pretty much invisible to recruiters, hiring managers & clients.

At Workshop #1.1 in my popular ‘Linkedin for Business’ series, you will build on what you learned in Workshop #1.0.

Linkedin has a process called the 4 pillars of success. These are:

1. Establish your Personal brand with an All-Star or 100% complete profile
2. Use Linkedin identify & target decision-making level, budget holding clients
3. Be active on the site by posting interesting content & engaging with other posts
 

ONLY when you do these things in that exact order, will you achieve the 4th pillar of success:
