The last infographic I shared about LinkedIn showed you how to create the perfect profile but you may have been left wondering what comes next. I like to give practical, methodical tips that can easily and quickly be put into action so I took that as a challenge to give you the next step in your LinkedIn marketing strategy.
A great profile can help attract prospects to you but business often requires you to be more proactive then that, so it’s important to establish a lead generation system. You’ve made this fancy LinkedIn profile, it’s about time you put it to good use!
LinkedIn Marketing: Creating Opportunities
LinkedIn isn’t a place for chatting about the weather; it’s a place to do business. Think of it as a cocktail party for a giant business conference where every room is a different targeted niche to interact and build relationships with.
When building this new infographic I wanted to think of an easy way to remember the key steps to LinkedIn marketing and lead generation. My solution?
Meet the four E’s of LinkedIn marketing success:
- Explore Opportunities
- Expand Network
- Engage Connections
- Establish Relationships
I swear by this method and it is the foundation to the exact same LinkedIn marketing strategy I implement for my clients and for my own business. This exact strategy continues to generate more than 70% of my business and a network of over 20,000 connections. The best part is that this is not rocket science and anyone can do it!
