A beginner’s workshop
When LinkedIn is used in combination with face-to face networking it will really help gain new business and raise your own and therefore your business’s profile.
This workshop is for people who have decided to join LinkedIn but know nothing about it or for those who are registered and have hardly started using it.
Networking is building relationships which we believe you can’t do online. BUT you can start to build a relationship online and as long as you do it in a proactive and professional manner you really can extend your network, globally if you want. At the point of penning these words Linkedin has nearly 45,000,000 registered users. Some of them will be on your target list but could be hard to get to without making a cold approach. LinkedIn makes it much easier to get to these people.
We all have our networks and we often wonder who are in our network’s network. With LinkedIn using the appropriate skills you can find this out.
