I presented my first webinar in a long while last week – I just got out of the habit and it seemed time to get started again. I decided to focus on LinkedIn (powerful use thereof!) as the content as it’s something of a perennial in my Four Man Business Builder groups.

And I’m so glad I did because the pre-webinar survey revealed a shocking truth …

…43% of people said they were ‘bumbling around in the dark’ with LinkedIn!

LinkedIn is simply the BIGGEST database in the world and it’s free for you to use. There are half a billion users – and even if you only connect powerfully with a handful of these it could make a big difference to your bottom line.

I’ll admit I’ve only recently started to ‘work’ LinkedIn and already it’s turned into £cash in terms of sales, and certainly I have added dozens of new connections to my ‘opted in’ list. In short, you’d be daft not to understand how in 60 – 90 minutes a week you could generate real business from your LinkedIn contacts.

My survey threw up some more revealing statistics …

  • 39% of people are mostly connected to other people in their industry – in other words, financial advisers talking to other financial advisers, or accountants talking to other accountants.
  • 17% only accept connections from people they have met face to face – which is rather defeating the object of an online networking environment, in my (not so humble) opinion!
  • 100% of those who registered said they were looking for some sort of sales / marketing outcome from Linked in, yet …
  • … only 16% of people said they used LinkedIn to generate conversations with potential customers

Hmmm!

So, if any of that sounds like you – you need to watch my webinar recording. I teamed up with LinkedIn specialist Allen Ruddock and he has some really powerful advice to offer – simple stuff but it works.
