Video: Should I Connect with Competitors on LinkedIn?

I have been so fortunate to develop a really good network of quality contacts from LinkedIn that has allowed me to develop the work I am doing on mental health and wellbeing inside and outside of Lloyds Banking Group and that I can attribute to yourself, Nigel and the introduction you gave me to LinkedIn…Thank you.

The LinkedInCredible training course was an informative, interesting, motivating 7 session experience, which I really enjoyed. Nigel runs the course at a good pace, keeps everyone engaged and always has some great stories up his sleeve to demonstrate his teaching. A must-attend for anyone who wants to get the most out of the LinkedIn platform. Thank you, Nigel.

LinkedIn Bootcamp by Value Exchange is a great way to find out what you do and don’t know about LinkedIn in a friendly and enjoyable way. You can ask all the questions that have been puzzling you without embarrassment. Others will do the same!

After posting my first video last week, I am totally shocked at how many views and comments I got considering how I rushed doing the video. I had a client enquiry within a couple of hours of putting it up and also I was contacted by the CEO of a Carers organisation to hold a Zoom meeting. Thanks for the training, it has been a great help. Now I have to gain the confidence to do it regularly!

I highly recommend Nigel’s training – be that in a group or bespoke – to advance your understanding of LinkedIn. His years of expertise and practical, personable style have been invaluable in helping me to explore this platform and demonstrate credibility as well as connect with like-minded people.

I hadn’t appreciated just how important a good profile is on LinkedIn, even though I am rarely on the platform

Thanks for this thought provoking and easy to follow guide. I’ve got a completely different outlook on how I can use social media more effectively in business. It gave me a brand new awareness on how I present myself as a professional whilst increasing my potential with new and existing clients. Using LinkedIn for business development is something I’ll move towards rather than shy away from in the future!

This morning’s [Top Tips to Improve Your LinkedIn Profile] webinar was absolutely awesome; a revelation for me personally.

Robert Boycott

I enjoyed listening to the APC-NYC (Advertising Production Club of New York) webinar you did this evening. Thank you for continuing to share tips to help people understand how to get the most out of LinkedIn. I continue to marvel at how LinkedIn has so deeply enriched my life this past year!

Jenny Haase

Nigel’s course covered all the steps necessary for effective use of LinkedIn. Even before the course finished I generated new business and am continuing to do so. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this course to anyone looking to grow their business.

Just wanted to let you know how insightful I found your recent online talk for the University of Leeds. You used my profile as an example which had room for improvement, and I’m so pleased you did…! I have recently added a background photo, changed my profile photo and expanded my About section, all thanks to your advice!

My Linkedin training with Nigel Cliffe was 7 years ago (I can’t believe it Nigel) and it blew my mind. He’s a master. It’s a more powerful platform when you know how to use it well. Yesterday he worked with my network group and the refresh was amazing. We all learned from him. Thank you, Nigel, you’re generous, gracious and fun.

Lindsay Cameron

Nigel’s course was so valuable to me, I carry the hand-written notes I took on his training course with me everywhere I go, in the pocket of my suit jacket!

The webinar was incredibly useful, thank you so much – lots of food for thought and I will certainly be taking action on my own profile as a result of attending.

Sharon Booth

Hi Nigel, thank you so much for your training session! A person I met at an event connected with me through LinkedIn, thankfully I’d already followed your advice. We took it off LinkedIn tonight and met for a drink. The opportunities that have come from that drink are incredible and I’d like to really thank you for coming to The Entrepreneurs Network the other week

Sarah Hough

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for such an amazing session this afternoon with our engineering students at Newcastle College! It was really helpful, informative and we all really enjoyed it! I will have to work on updating my LinkedIn profile now! Thanks so much again!

Nichole Scissons

I thought your session was one of the most useful aspects of the career development programme on the MBA.

In-House Training Attendee

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the webinar yesterday morning. You have such an engaging style, easy to listen to, even in the sterile environment of a Zoom meeting – not to mention informative, of course. I made a note of around 7 or 8 key changes I wanted to make to my Profile, and did those pretty much immediately.

James Richardson

I grasped, for the first time, how much time I have wasted in the past on LinkedIn, not having a cohesive strategy. From today, I have that sorted….

In-House Training Attendee

Nigel’s LinkedInCredible Training Programme is nothing short of a revelation – a real eye-opener. Nigel’s knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for this platform inspires you to learn and to engage. He makes it fun, nothing is too much trouble and he is willing to share and support your LinkedIn journey. If you are serious about building your personal brand, building relationships and developing engagement on LinkedIn – look no further. Thanks, Nigel.

I thought the LinkedIn bootcamp would move me from zero to hero. It was better than that. Small group, almost personal training and excellent tuition. They turned it from a CV holder with contacts to a powerful and flexible marketing tool. I was scratching the surface of it’s potential until the Bootcamp session.

I thought I was a pretty proficient LinkedIn user until I met Nigel. However, I hadn’t converted any new business. Within two weeks, yes, just two weeks from my training session I converted the biggest piece of business I have ever done, entirely as a result of me being proactive on LinkedIn… I am a convert!

Need to generate warm leads through LinkedIn? My answer to this was “of course” so I attended one of Nigel’s LinkedIn Bootcamps yesterday at Cloth Hall Court in Leeds. What a day! This guy below will certainly open your eyes as to the benefits of LinkedIn and what a difference it can make to your personal profile and your business profile. I would definitely recommend getting in touch with him!

It was like I had a light-bulb moment – suddenly all came clear. My time spent on LinkedIn will never be the same again.
