I joined LinkedIn within 12 months of its launch and have used it for inbound and outbound leads since then.Since 2005 I’ve been speaking about and training other businesses how to maximise their visibility and protect their brand online while still winning business from their LinkedIn activity.There have been a lot of changes to LinkedIn over those 14 years but the one thing that hasn’t changed is that it is the most powerful marketing tool for my business. If you want to know how to harness the power of LinkedIn for your business, then we need to talk.If you don’t know how many hashtags to include in your post, how to make sure your profile shows in searches or the impact your headline has then I have a solution to help you.I run open courses, in-house courses and online courses so you can learn at your pace while still getting my input. We even have a private group where you can gain support from other LinkedIn learners.We specialise in Business to business and professional services firms.
