    I would like to reset the room for you today. How do you currently view LinkedIn? Somewhere people are constantly selling to you? Does this sound familiar? People are sending you spam messages. A lot of people seem to be using AI to write their posts You are tempted to download one of those third party plug in things others talk about - you know - they send automatic messages for you, find people and then all you have to do is get them on a call? You don't really have time to do this stuff so you just scroll through the feed and click the like button a few times   What if it could be different? What if you looked forward to checking your LinkedIn? Catching up with your network, reading some interesting posts and maybe even attending a LinkedIn audio once a week? We don't need to run before we can walk. I am not suggesting you start broadcasting a weekly live show yourself. But I would love you to feel comfortable posting once or twice a week. And every time you open the app on your phone, you recognise the person in the newsfeed and enjoy commenting on their content. Shall we do this? I am going to write a series of newsletters aimed at helping you. The individual.  And record these accompanying podcasts.   These newsletters are going to be based on a theme - how to approach LinkedIn as though it were your next in-person industry event. We are not eating the whole elephant today - let's just start with the first step - preparation.   To subscribe to the newsletter - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/louisebrogan_linkedinwriting-newsletter-linkedinforrealpeople-activity-7162379067667795968-fFNl?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop   www.louisebrogan.com

    Are you a professional looking to make the most of LinkedIn? In this episode, LinkedIn trainer and marketer Melanie Goodman joins me to talk about the world of LinkedIn and how to maximise your LinkedIn presence as a busy professional. We explore the benefits of Sales Navigator, the process for obtaining community Top Voice badges, and expert advice on professional posting strategies. Whether you're a seasoned LinkedIn user or just getting started, this episode is full of valuable insights to boost your professional presence on the platform. Encourage Your Professional Teams to Post on LinkedIn Have a document or list in place that your team can refer to with posting guidelines Make posting and spending time a regular event in their schedule Explain that posting on LinkedIn is similar to in-person networking events About Melanie Goodman Melanie Goodman's original career path involved practising law before emigrating to Switzerland in 2005. For the subsequent eight years, she worked in business development and social media marketing for both a large international law firm and a financial services company. This experience gave her the impetus to start her own LinkedIn marketing and training company, Trevisan. Trevisan assists businesses to achieve their goals by providing bespoke LinkedIn growth and visibility strategies. How to Get The Badge Melanie joins me to talk about how to use LinkedIn as someone in professional services. Solicitors, accountants, engineers, and anyone else working for large corporations – this episode is full of great tips relevant to your LinkedIn presence. Before we dive into that conversation, we chat about the many benefits of LinkedIn's Sales Navigator platform. It has so many uses, including creating targeted marketing ads and helping you find the exact audience you want to speak to. We also talk about the process for obtaining community Top Voice badges on LinkedIn and why they're of benefit. They stay on your profile for 60 days… then it's time to work towards another badge. Unfortunately, we can't help you get LinkedIn's blue verified badge as we don't know the criteria for that – it's a huge mystery! LinkedIn Presence for Professionals Okay, back to professionals! It can be tricky to navigate and decide what to post on LinkedIn. There is a balance between writing what's on your mind, what your professional company approves of, and how to properly network on the platform. Melanie gives some great advice on what professionals can post, and she has a great resource linked below that can help. In fact, getting employees to post on LinkedIn can be a marketing manager's worst nightmare. However, scheduling time to network on the platform and providing a set guideline can be very helpful. Another tip is to explain that optimising and posting can increase the company's LinkedIn presence and lead to more overall company sales. Finally, we discuss some of our predictions for what features will come on LinkedIn. One of the features we'd most love to see is an option to toggle on a sponsored or affiliate collaboration, much like you'd see on Instagram.

    Do you want to write better for your LinkedIn audience? This is the episode for you. I'm joined by professional writer and LinkedIn writing coach, Lynnaire Johnston, to discuss writing for LinkedIn. From the dangers of using AI to write for you to Lynnaire's personal tips for writing better, we dive into all things writing. It's time to make personal connections on LinkedIn through the written word. Tips to Start Writing for LinkedIn Start writing whatever's on your mind, and you will eventually end up talking about what you want to talk about. Use short, simple words and sentences. Don't use jargon or marketing terms. Have one idea per paragraph and one main idea per post. Have white space and multiple paragraphs. Don't use hashtags in your post; it is confusing. About Lynnaire Johnston Lynnaire is considered to be a top 20 international LinkedIn expert and works with clients globally to help them leverage the power of LinkedIn to achieve professional success. She is the author of 2 books about LinkedIn, one a best-seller, the other listed by BookAuthority as a top LinkedIn book of all time. She is a regular guest on podcasts worldwide and hosts her own events – masterclasses, LinkedIn lives and LinkedIn audio rooms.  Lynnaire is the founder of the Link∙Ability members site for those wanting to be successful on LinkedIn. Lynnaire and her team provide done-for-you and coaching/training services to individuals and companies globally. Coming from a journalism and broadcasting background, Lynnaire has been a reporter, feature writer, magazine editor and copywriter for the majority of her career. She has written for industries as diverse as automotive, beauty, local authorities and not-for-profit. She founded her copywriting business, Word Wizard, in 2000 and began specialising in LinkedIn in 2016. The Dangers of AI Writing Lynnaire Johnston joins me to talk about how to write for LinkedIn. Especially with the rise in AI writing technologies, it's important for people to understand the importance of human writers. While useful in some situations, AI writing is full of long sentences and far too much jargon. As Lynnaire says – reading it just makes her eyes glaze over. The rising use of and reliance on AI writing will inevitably make people worse writers. But, especially on LinkedIn, using AI to write your posts and comments defeats the purpose of the platform. “We're here on LinkedIn to develop relationships, get to know people, and build the know, like, and trust factor. So, how is AI going to help us do that if we are not communicating directly with our audience?” Tips to Write for LinkedIn If you've been turning to AI to help you write because you don't know what to say, Lynnaire offers some great advice. Get your inspiration from your life and some of the things that happen to you; even carry a notebook around to take notes about your day. Then, just start to write. Even if you don't know exactly what you want to write about, by writing about anything, you'll eventually come to the point you want to make. Lynnaire also shares the importance of consistent posting on LinkedIn. Honestly, it doesn't matter what schedule you stick to. What matters is that you show up regularly. And, if you're wondering how to become a better writer, Lynnaire says the best way to improve your writing is to read more. How often do you post on LinkedIn? If you're not consistent, what's stopping you from posting regularly? Let me know in the comments on the episode page.

    Episode 243 - Boost Your Career Prospects on LinkedIn with Sarah Burgess

    LinkedIn is a powerful tool to find a new career – if you're using it right. By updating and optimising your LinkedIn profile, utilising the ‘Open to Work' option, connecting with the right people, and even investing in career coaching, you can really make LinkedIn work for you. In this episode, I'm joined by LinkedIn Career Coach, Sarah Burgess, to discuss the reality of LinkedIn recruitment, how companies can attract candidates, and why universities should promote LinkedIn. The Top Three LinkedIn Mistakes from a Career Coach Not having a clear profile picture. Having an unclear/misleading headline. Not having enough experience listed. About Sarah Burgess Sarah Burgess started Koru, a LinkedIn career coaching company, in 2003 after a restructure left her facing redundancy. She is a self-confessed ‘LinkedIn geek' and loves talking to people about how they can work towards finding that role they've always wanted. When she's not coaching others, you can find Sarah on a paddleboard or otherwise being active outside. Career Coaching and Open To Work Your LinkedIn profile picture and headline are two of the most important things you can optimise on your profile. These, along with your experience section, are what LinkedIn recruiters look at when actively seeking candidates for potential job openings. Sarah recommends optimising these three sections of your profile if you're looking for new career opportunities. Sarah also recommends using the ‘Open to Work' option if you're actively seeking a new role. Not only does this signify to recruiters that you're a potential candidate, you can also write a message about the type of role you're interested in and why you're leaving your current role. You can also use the #OpenToWork hashtag, which will increase your posts's reach and show it to more people in their news feeds. Sarah also recommends tweaking your profile regularly. How Companies Can Attract Top Talent Companies can also optimise their company pages to become more attractive to potential candidates. Writing a compelling about section helps give a good company overview. It really is about selling yourself as a company, too – posting as your company page and generally being active. If you're posting jobs, Sarah says to be transparent. List the salary and provide a contact at the company for candidates to speak to. Finally, we talk about the use of AI on LinkedIn. From the built-in AI features to how AI is becoming more useful in career coaching and recruitment, the use of AI is not going away. It will only get more prominent, especially since LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft. We ended our discussion with how and why universities and students need to use LinkedIn in their career search. Have you used a career coach to help you find new opportunities on LinkedIn? How do you make sure your profile is optimised and updated regularly? If you're a company, how do you make sure you stand out to potential candidates? Let me know in the comments on the episode page.

    LinkedIn Ads have become a powerful tool for companies, but using them to their full potential requires a strategic approach. In this episode, I'm joined by LinkedIn Ads expert AJ Wilcox to discuss the advantages of LinkedIn Ads, how companies can use them to increase their warm and hot leads significantly, the many types of ads available, and what happens when you dabble in the platform. 4 Steps to a LinkedIn Ads Strategy Target the right audience based on budget. Find out who the audience is and what they need. Offer free and/or subscribable content. Build the know, like, and trust factor. About AJ Wilcox AJ Wilcox is a LinkedIn Ads pro who founded B2Linked.com, THE LinkedIn Ads agency, in 2014. He's managed over $150M in spend on the platform, and they're official LinkedIn partners. AJ is the host of the LinkedIn Ads Show podcast and has managed 5 of the world's top 10 LinkedIn Ads accounts. He's a ginger & triathlete. He lives in Utah with his beautiful wife and 5 adorable kids, and his company car is a wicked-fast go-kart. Strategic LinkedIn Ads LinkedIn Ads can be a powerful tool for companies, but it's important to invest in them strategically. AJ says that simply dabbling in them might not yield immediate results, especially if you're advertising at a low volume. You need to understand that the impact of your ads may take time to materialise. To make the most of a low-volume approach, AJ recommends targeting warm audiences. By focusing on the people already familiar with your brand, you increase the chances of achieving positive outcomes. LinkedIn Ad Types Using LinkedIn Ads without professional knowledge can be challenging. With it, you may end up wasting a significant amount of money on ineffective ad campaigns. AJ provides some guidance on how to use this as a learning experience and advises marketing managers who are asked to start using them without training. LinkedIn offers a huge variety of ad types, from direct messages and sidebar ads to news feed ads, including images, carousels, and videos. Video ads are gaining popularity because they are a much more direct way to build the know, like, and trust factor in getting your audience from a cold or warm lead to a hot one. Video is becoming the future of LinkedIn! Do you use LinkedIn Ads? What do you like about them? Have you ever invested money in LinkedIn Ads and received little to no return on your investment?

    Keep rocking LinkedIn by taking control of your personal branding and exploring the new platform features. In this episode, my guest, Kevin D. Turner, shares invaluable insights on enhancing your LinkedIn profile. Discover the power of making small but impactful changes, leveraging LinkedIn's AI features, and the power of free resources for your network. How to Use AI on LinkedIn You can use AI to write your headline and personal summary. Use AI as a starting point for creating more personal posts. The more you use LinkedIn's built-in AI features, the more it will learn your writing style. Enhancing Your LinkedIn Profile with Personal Branding Showcasing your personal brand on LinkedIn is something we can all do more of. My guest, Kevin D. Turner, shares his thoughts on how you can keep rocking LinkedIn by showcasing your personality on the platform. As Kevin says, If you don't own your own brand, someone is going to own it for you. One thing you can do that makes a big difference is to make little changes to your LinkedIn profile. As a personal branding expert, Kevin encourages you to utilise LinkedIn's built-in AI features to help sharpen your profile and make it more accessible to recruiters and other search engines. It's also really important to create free resources for your network. When you're inundated with messages and requests, having a YouTube channel, course, blog, or LinkedIn newsletter, to name a few, provides valuable content while saving you time – and establishing yourself as an expert in your field. The Future of AI and LinkedIn LinkedIn continuously introduces new features and updates to enhance user experience. However, as Kevin points out, these updates are not rolled out to everyone at the same time. Understanding how LinkedIn's rollouts work and why they adopt this approach is important. One of Kevin's favourite new features is LinkedIn's built-in AI. One feature that's still in development is the AI-powered headline and personal summary generator. You can also use this AI as a starting point for creating tailored content to post. LinkedIn has also launched an exciting new AI-powered Job Seeker Coach, which aims to provide personalised guidance for people seeking employment on LinkedIn. How do you show up on LinkedIn? Have you explored any of LinkedIn's AI features yet? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments on the episode page.

    Sales Navigator and Google are two powerful tools in the arsenal of anyone looking to connect with their ideal client on LinkedIn. My guest, Nigel Cliffe, is a LinkedIn trainer who specialises in helping his clients find and grow their target audience on LinkedIn. In this conversation, we're talking about what Sales Navigator and why you would use it, how much dedication it needs, and why Google is a better search engine for finding your ideal clients on LinkedIn. Use LinkedIn's Built-In Algorithm to Find Your Target Audience Update your profile with your keywords Write about what you're known for, including keywords LinkedIn puts your content in front of your target audience Using Sales Navigator Sales Navigator is a tool that lets you collect, navigate, and sort different types of people on LinkedIn. In the right hands, it's a very valuable tool to help grow and connect with your target audience. Nigel Cliffe explains how to use Sales Navigator to find your audience and then have LinkedIn send you new leads who match your criteria each week. However, in order to be an effective tool, Sales Navigator takes serious commitment. Users need to dedicate around two hours every day to using the tool, and they also need to commit to using it regularly. Nigel says it's not a tool that you can just dip your toe into and expect success. Search Engines and LinkedIn According to Nigel, using Google is a more effective way to find your ideal clients on LinkedIn. As a search engine, Google allows you to filter words and phrases with an effectiveness that doesn't exist on LinkedIn.  This allows you to finesse your search criteria and find the exact right people in your target audience. From here, Nigel recommends building a list with this data and connecting to your audience on LinkedIn.  Google and LinkedIn searches pick up the keywords that exist in someone's LinkedIn profile. Industries, job titles, experience, and other target keywords filtered through profile information and someone's about section all contribute to being effectively discovered on LinkedIn. Call to Action Do you utilise Sales Navigator to find leads? How have you used Google to find your target audience?

    LinkedIn is more than a business-to-business networking site – it's a powerful tool to take the next step in your career. Companies can use LinkedIn to attract top talent to their vacancies, and job seekers can find significant new roles on the platform. This conversation with LinkedIn recruiter and headhunter Tiina Jarvet gives excellent insight into using LinkedIn to further your career. She also gives advice for companies using the platform to recruit for their open positions.  How to Stand Out to LinkedIn Recruiters Be active on LinkedIn Engage with your current company's LinkedIn Follow up to 20 companies you're interested in working for Engage with those companies' content Connect with people within those companies The LinkedIn Recruiter Being a LinkedIn Recruiter is fascinating. The LinkedIn Recruiter platform, though pricey at €10,000 per year, gives you so much extra information and insight into potential candidates. Tiina gives us some insight into how she uses LinkedIn Recruiter to help companies find the best candidates for their open positions. Companies seek out headhunters like Tiina, who specialise in finding candidates on LinkedIn. As a recruiter, Tiina gets to know her candidates deeply, so she presents with confidence to companies – her reputation is on the line, so she would never present someone whom she hasn't vetted and interviewed herself. One of the most common gaps Tiina sees from companies is not presenting a clear job title in their job description. Clarity is key in recruiting the best people for a job. Standing Out to LinkedIn Recruiters Job seekers can improve their chances of being headhunted on LinkedIn. Completing your LinkedIn profile is the most important step – even if you're not actively seeking new employment, headhunters like Tiina can come across your profile based on the information it contains. Being active on LinkedIn, connecting and engaging with your ideal companies and their employees, and engaging with your current company's LinkedIn posts will also help your profile stand out to recruiters. Have you been successfully headhunted on LinkedIn? Has your company used a recruiter to fill your vacancies? I'd love to hear about your experiences. Let me know in the comments on the episode page.

We discuss the many benefits of creating videos on YouTube and how they can also benefit your LinkedIn presence. The Benefits of YouTube Videos Free and accessible information for your audience. Building an audience and getting business leads Cross-post to other platforms. Populate your LinkedIn profile. YouTube Videos are Multipurpose Video content is one of the best forms of content you can make simply because it is so easily repurposed. A YouTube video can become multiple LinkedIn videos, a podcast, a blog post, and several short-form content pieces for other platforms. That's the beauty of content – you can create something for every type of learning style, so everyone benefits from what you have to say. The versatility is incredible, and everyone who has something to say should definitely show up on YouTube. Gillian says that everyone should claim their YouTube handle, as well, even if you're just thinking about creating content. Claim your space! LinkedIn is Like a Conference I've recently hit one million views on my YouTube channel, which is amazing, and I think I need to start taking my channel seriously! If the amount of people connecting with me on LinkedIn and business enquiries coming through is anything to say, the potential for growth is exponential. LinkedIn is like a conference. Your personal profile is you showing up at the conference and speaking to people. Your company page is the booth you have at the conference. And YouTube is the videos and proof you display at your booth. The synergy between the two platforms is perfect.

    Connect wisely on LinkedIn for powerful business connections. That's what my guest, Fiona Walsh, did, and she's seen a huge increase in business opportunities. After working together, Fiona posted relevant content consistently on LinkedIn, which led to increased engagement, valuable, relevant connections, and paid speaking opportunities. In this episode, she offers advice on securing paid speaking gigs and emphasises the importance of networking and following up both on and off LinkedIn.   About Fiona Walsh With 25 years in corporate, Fiona Walsh has seen her fair share of bad slides. As an IT Manager/Trainer, she became the primary go-to person for help with anything PowerPoint-related.    Fiona set up Empower Presentations to provide bespoke PowerPoint training to organisations. She loves it when a client gets an ‘aha' moment as they realise there's a more innovative way to do something, and it will save them time. She is passionate about teaching people how to create slides that are fit for purpose and engaging.    Fiona also focuses on presenting confidently, including best practices in the boardroom, at a conference, and online, for example, with MS Teams. Fiona is a certified Microsoft Master Trainer and became Director of Education for the Presentation Guild (a global organisation for presentation professionals) in January 2023.   Business Opps from LinkedIn Connections When Fiona and I first started working together, we focussed on creating a monthly content plan for LinkedIn. This plan takes so much stress and pressure off a business owner who is trying to create consistent content on the platform.   Soon after Fiona started posting consistent and relevant content, she noticed her engagement increase. Her use of relevant hashtags enabled the right people to find her, leading to increased valuable connections, speaking opportunities, and business growth worldwide.   Fiona soon started receiving opportunities for paid speaking events on LinkedIn, which has taken her to a number of conferences. Her advice for landing paid speaking gigs on LinkedIn?   Look for what events are out there Look at the companies that host those events Connect with key people at those companies Take the conversations off LinkedIn The art of the Follow Up Fiona has mastered the follow-up conversation, often reaching back out to someone she's worked with in the past. She also says that she often connects with people who don't send her a message – in fact, these connection requests often come from her ideal customers. If she feels they may be a good connection after viewing their profile, she'll send them a message after connecting. This often leads to a business opportunity.   Fiona also shares how she's made powerful connections on LinkedIn that led to a mutually beneficial referral relationship. Without LinkedIn, she would not have found her referral partner and increased sales.   Finally, Fiona and I discuss the benefits of having a Creator profile on LinkedIn and why it's so important to post consistently.     How has posting consistently on LinkedIn resulted in more sales, speaking events, or opportunities for you? Let me know in the comments on the episode page. How creating a monthly content plan for LinkedIn takes the pressure and stress off you [3:30] When Fiona's business growth started to change [5:45] How LinkedIn can open opportunities [6:15] How to find events in your niche [8:15] The power in a follow-up conversation [10:30] How LinkedIn connections can result in powerful mutual business collaborations [14:00] Why it's good practice to check out everyone's profile who sends you a connection request, even if they don't send a message [18:00] What you need to know about the Creator option [20:00] Why it's important to post consistently on LinkedIn [24:00] Key Takeaways Fiona's Top Tips to Get Started on LinkedIn   Think about how you're going to use LinkedIn Consider a topic for each month Try to post at least once a week for the next four weeks VIP Plus Package   Find Fiona Walsh Online Follow Fiona Walsh on LinkedIn | Twitter | YouTube   Find Louise Brogan Online Follow Louise Brogan on LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Subscribe to LinkedIn Louise Brogan on Apple Podcasts   Podcast Ep. 202 – Six Simple Guidelines For Using LinkedIn in Your Business Podcast Episode 200 – Are You Selling Or Marketing On Linkedin?

    How can women lawyers raise their visibility on LInkedIn? This week's guest, Paula Price, is a podcaster, lawyer and coach who knows all about using LinkedIn strategically and authentically to raise profiles and build connections.   PodcastEp 229 - LinkedIn for Lawyers with Paula Price Summary Podcast begins. 0:05 Get a head start on your LinkedIn activity this year by joining the LinkedIn mastermind starting in September 2023. Today's guest is lovely paula from canada. Introduction to Paul. 1:34 Paula is a lawyer turned coach for lawyers. She helps lawyers with all sorts of transitions and goals that they want to achieve. Her podcast, joyful practice for women lawyers. Louise wants people to know that there is help for them and that they are not alone if they are experiencing these types of challenges. How to raise your profile on LinkedIn. Why linkedin is a social platform. 5:24 LinkedIn is a social platform for connection and community. There are three reasons why people go to LinkedIn. LinkedIn is like going to an industry event or a networking event, and it is a virtual replication of real life interactions. The first thing to do if you want to be seen on LinkedIn is to see whose posts resonate with you and see what you would want to comment or like on. Paul gives an example of how a real-life example of this happened to him. How to share your expertise. 10:59 Sharing expertise, providing updates on new immigration laws, providing information about updates to workplace laws or developing new skills. Sharing industry- adjacent causes that come along, such as mental health during the pandemic, is a really relevant topic to post on LinkedIn. Raise your profile by figuring out why you're there in the first place and how you can share and showcase your expertise and offer value to people. Get in front of or in community with other lawyers who might be interested in your work. What are the pitfalls of linkedin? 16:21 Paula was at a local conference and a friend of hers was speaking at it. She posted pictures of her online. Paula shares some of the pitfalls people should avoid using LinkedIn. The first pitfall is posting too much about yourself, because it can make people feel inadequate. There is something about over posting, and it can happen. There is a fine line, and you probably don't want to overshare. Be careful if you're okay with that being part of your persona. How to deal with negative linkedin posts. 19:52 There are two examples of negative LinkedIn posts, one of which was a picture of a lady who looked like a model in the LinkedIn catalogue. People need to remember paula. LinkedIn is a professional platform, and putting forward a professional persona is important. Be mindful of the impact that you are having on other people. LinkedIn is not a dating site. Do lawyers need to be on linkedin all the time? 24:12 The importance of following up on the message that you're trying to send as you're talking about a holiday in Portugal. The difference between LinkedIn and Facebook. Louise gets asked if she is on LinkedIn all the time, and she says yes to things quickly, thinking them through, and trying to train herself to think them through. Louise has a consistent practice of posting on LinkedIn once a week, and a podcast once or twice a week. The algorithm of LinkedIn is part of who sees what, when, and so there is an effect that they see more of what he is doing on LinkedIn relative to how he is physically connecting with the interface of LinkedIn. Sometimes you might give up too soon and not respond quickly. How to be more organised. 29:57 Paula is more organised than Bob, and Paula thinks answering questions in the moment would be more efficient, but at the same time, it does feel like a lot of work. Paula finds it baffling that people will accept a connection request and not respond to the message at all. There is a disconnect between the virtual world and the real world. Louise went to a conference in the spring where she had the opportunity to meet people in person, and it was fascinating and lovely. The virtual world has a lot more information about how people are consuming their social media and what else is going on in that given moment versus real life. The oddest zoom call I ever had. 36:13 A year ago, paula had the oddest zoom call she ever had. It was a senior person in a globally recognised financial company, excited about LinkedIn training for everyone in his department. Good stories of women lawyers using LinkedIn to elevate their professional profile and help them in their career. Elisa Davies is a lawyer turned lawyer turned counselor. She does blog posts on her website and her blog posts. She often posts an article that is relevant to mental health in the workplace, specifically for lawyers. Erica Tate is a good friend of mine. She is a contractor. The power of social media. 41:36 Laura is the pink spoon. She writes beautiful articles about how to do legal writing right, how to deal with a situation where you don't have precedent that is on point. Sara Forte is a local lawyer who has a workplace law firm in surrey bc. She posts regularly. Beth Melford is not your average lawyer. She has a website with profiles of lawyers across Canada who are doing things differently. She posts posts about her own experience, her journey in law, and updates about the legal market. Gina Alexandra is a coach who has a long history with educating lawyers. The more you curate the connections that you have, the more interesting your LinkedIn feed becomes and the more you want to go and see what everyone's up to and what they're sharing. Louise has a group programme that she has started running and will be opening up another round in January. Linkedin Mastermind again. 49:09 Paula is kicking off her LinkedIn mastermind again because she missed it so much. She loves hosting a group of inspiring people.

    Episode 227 - how to use LinkedIn at Conferences

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 28, 2023 15:04


    Connecting When you go to a conference and meet business connections, do you say “let's connect on LinkedIn”? Unlike five years ago, when you would be swapping business cards and email addresses, now, you're much more likely to find someone saying, let's connect on LinkedIn and possibly even connecting with you while you're actually at the conference. Here are key things to do when you or your team are planning to attend a conference Before You Go 1. Prepare Have a fully optimised LinkedIn company page, and LinkedIn personal profiles for all of the members of your team. This includes not just the team members who are attending the conference, but also your senior management team, your CEO, your C suite level. As your sales team are connecting with people, having conversations and meeting your ideal clients, those people will be checking out your whole organisation's LinkedIn presence. If an interested party visited your firm's LinkedIn page, what would they see? Posts about your products and services? They can also see all the employees attached to the page.     They're also going to check out who are your C suite. Who is your CEO and what do they post on their personal LinkedIn, if anything. In my experience, there's often a very scant presence on LinkedIn. Ready to outsource LinkedIn Content? Are you tired of trying to juggle running your business and managing your LinkedIn profile? We understand the challenges of balancing all of the demands of a successful business, which is why we offer LinkedIn content management services to help alleviate some of the stress. Our team of experts will create and curate content that is tailored to your brand's messaging, target audience, and goals. By outsourcing your LinkedIn content management to us, you can focus on growing your business and leave the social media management to us. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help elevate your LinkedIn presence and drive more leads to your business. 2. Planning ahead You've got your tickets booked. If you are taking a booth, you have reserved the space you've ordered your marketing materials, everything that you need that you're going to take along to the conference. Maybe you have business cards, maybe you're launching a new product. All of that is all set up and Ready to go. A couple of questions to ask yourself: Who else is attending the conference? Who is going to be speaking? Are any of your existing network going to be attending? Are there any fringe events happening? Start to connect with people on LinkedIn ahead of time. Send a message to say why you are looking forward to attending, or who you want to hear speaking. Organise to meet people for a coffee if there aren't meet-ups already organised. 3. For Conference Organisers Have you created a LinkedIn event for the conference? Have you shared social graphics for all your speakers to post on their LinkedIn profiles? Are all of your sponsors showcasing your event on their own company pages? Write a short paragraph for them to post -make it easy for others to promote your event. Include an event hashtag. Have you considered UGC (user generated content)? Create a graphic your attendees can use, to share on their own social media that they are attending your conference. If an attendee shares a post about your event, consider using it on your own Company page content, and comment on posts they write about your event.   4. Suggestions for messages to send ahead of time Here are a few suggestions of messages to send to someone who is also attending the same event as you: Hi **NAME**. I can see you are going to be speaking at **EVENT**. I'm coming too, and am really looking forward to your talk. Hi **NAME**. Are you going to **EVENT**? I'd love to connect with you ahead of time. Hey **NAME**. I see that you and the team are going to be at this event, I'd love to catch up with you if you have time for a coffee. 5. Create content your team can share about the Conference In the run up to the conference, talk to your sales team and tell them about your marketing plan. You're going to providing them with content on the company page. Invite your team to share that with their network in an authentic way that starts conversations about your business. Do not simply repost the company page content. By training your team and providing them with content, you are giving them tools that they can use to share and amplify the company message, and particularly with whatever is going to be happening at the conference. 6. Speaking at a Conference If you want one of your team to be a speaker at a conference, the people who book those speakers are also on LinkedIn. Suppose your CEO aims to establish themselves as a recognized authority in your industry. Begin by regularly posting content on their personal account, showcasing their expertise and thought leadership. Aim to share such content multiple times a week. Add a section on their personal profile listing them as a speaker. 7. At the Conference Download your QR code from LinkedIn and save it to your phone. This way when you meet new connections you can easily connect with them on LinkedIn. Why not temporarily save the QR code image as your phone screensaver so it is easy to access. Now you're not scrambling to get on LinkedIn to find the person's name that you're speaking to, you literally just hold up your phone, the QR code is on the screen, and the person that you're speaking to can scan that code and literally connect with you there. Another top tip, take pictures of your team while you're at the conference and post those on the company page, it shows that you are an active company. If you meet people at the conference, take a photograph with them and post it on your company page or your personal profile, tag the person and say you know what you learned from them, or what you got out of the conference, keeping it all inside the realm of what you're there for business to do for business. 8. After the Conference Now, what I do recommend is that once you get back to your hotel room, or you get back to the office the following week, once a conference is over, all of those people that you connected with, send them a quick short message to remind them who you are. Say it was great to meet you in Frankfurt at the conference last week. I hope you got home safe – I'd love to continue the conversation here. If you're interested in having a chat, let me know. 9. Prepare your team So all of this sounds really simple and easy. And it is. But why aren't people doing it? Maybe your sales team aren't really comfortable with LinkedIn, maybe they need a little bit of upskilling or training and how to use LinkedIn effectively. When your company or team or you yourself are planning to go to a conference, what should you be thinking about? What should you be doing ahead of the time when you're there, and to follow up afterwards. Find out how to book your LinkedIn Training for Business workshop 10. Ongoing LinkedIn Efforts Continue being consistent with posting content on LinkedIn, so that those people that you do meet at the conference have actually got something that will remind them of you. For example, if you connected with Bob, and you went to Frankfurt, and you're back home now and you're working away, if you're still sharing content once a week, that talks about what it is that your business does, and Bob is posting stuff on LinkedIn, and comment on his stuff to keep you top of mind. Because if you go back to the office, after the conference, all those lovely warm leads will fade away if you don't follow up with them. And being visible by sharing posts on LinkedIn is a really simple, simple, easy way to do that. Come and connect with me on LinkedIn. And let's have a conversation about it. And also, if you don't have an in house marketing team devoted to creating content for your LinkedIn. That is exactly what we do here at Louise Brogan limited. We love writing content that helps your company get more visibility and leads and sales. So reach out.
