LinkedIn Training

How to use LinkedIn

 

LinkedIn is one of the ‘hottest’ social media (SM) platforms in the business community as well as the international world (one of the top five SM!).  Business professionals may have an account and profile, but haven’t a clue what to do once they are in the system.  This training provides the how-to, AND the WHY you want to be active, and how to be active all in one class.  There are no PowerPoints – the training is real-time, click on this tab, type in this information, and adjust this setting while you work on your profile via wifi connection.

Dr. Boyer has achieved over six-figures in the last five years from consulting fees, recommendations, and active participation within the LinkedIn community – and YOU CAN TOO once you know what to do within the social media site and how to psychologically train your followers and connections to continue to keep your name – and your brand – top of mind in their daily or weekly visits to the site.

Using LinkedIn for social media branding, business development, public relations, marketing and sales – multiple levels available (small and corporate group training (location) must have Wi-Fi and projection equipment):

Recent studies have found that LinkedIn drives significantly more online traffic to corporate websites than all the other social platforms combined.

But its more than just about driving traffic to your website, any well-designed campaign can do that. It’s more about exposing your business to your markets in a way that no other outbound activity can. If you understand the real value of LinkedIn, your business will make it a priority to participate regularly. I hope you find my latest research helpful;

Stuart Chesson – Owner, Koizilla Monster Ponds Inc: I never really understood the power of Linked In until I attended Dawn’s training class. Now my mind is alive with new ideas for fully utilizing this amazing resource. If you have not had the opportunity to attend one of her trainings, I hope you will make it a priority to do so. You will be glad you did. Dawn is a truly amazing resource person. Not only is she a wellspring of valuable information, she also has the ability to convey that information to others clearly and simply. Her class was easily the most useful and inspiring two hours I have spent in quite awhile – and the time flew by! Thank you Dawn!
