“We had a great day of training with Mark who taught a group of us how to use LinkedIn effectively and strategically. The workshop was taught in a fun way and some great tips were given by Mark who is obviously an expert in his field. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Mark again and would recommend other businesses tap into his skills so that they too can learn how to use social media to their advantage.” Martin Chilver, The Chartwell Practice, Burton Upon Trent
Frank: “One of the things we wanted to do (as part of the LinkedIn training) was change our profile and make it much more detailed but also look at who we were connected to.
“I spent time going through those connections and looking at how we could involveSocial Media Tip 6 those people in a small networking group that I’ve got going.
“I actually went through those contacts individually, emailed them through LinkedIn to reintroduce myself and to tell them what I was doing and through that it generated a client for us who was probably worth around £15,000 over the next few years.
“That was someone who I’d known and been connected to for a bit on LinkedIn and his comment was “I was just thinking about contacting you and then your message came through on LinkedIn and here we are and yes I really want to do business with you.” So I’m pleased with what we got out of the LinkedIn training that we did.”
