Social Media Marketing Really Does Work
I had the pleasure of meeting a man named Dave Kalstrom yesterday through another gentleman I have been networking with for months. Jim Bannon made the introduction and is a real technical guru that has helped me out in so many ways as I tend to be a bit of a technical-moron. OK – that is an understatement 
Dave is the owner of a company called Outbound Excellence and I can assure you he is true to his brand promise. In the span of a just a few minutes, Dave rattled off TONS of REALLY helpful/valuable ways to maximize and leverage the full capabilities of Linkedin that so many of us are unaware of!
Dave and I have opened new doors for each other. I am so grateful to have met him and look forward to learning more from his vast industry-knowledge as he truly is an industry-expert. So without further ado, let me introduce Dave’s “15 Ways To Develop Your LinkedIn Account To Generate Sales” in a video by New Horizons 123 Production.
Please notice that I did NOT put a link to Dave’s webinar above, but check out the end of the video
Julie, it is amazing to me how you can present so much information in such a short period of time. I guess it is the truly astonishing value of video! I have a Linked In profile and have not been very sure how to optimize it. I am going to watch this again and put some of the principles to the test! Thank you so much for sharing this!!
HI Sherie, LOL – thank goodness for the “pause” button right?
Definitely watch the video again – Dave has some very helpful tips! BTW – I haven’t either with my LInkedin. Shhhhhh – don’t tell anyone – I have to get on the stick and utilize some of Dave’s suggestions.
So many of us get “Too Busy” to study the Fundamentals.
It is a FACT that 80% of potential employers check a candidate’s ON-LINE presence during the screening/interview process. The vast majority of them, go to LinkedIn FIRST!
All of us should “Google” our names and our company names… and PAY ATTENTION to what comes up! We can’t control a lot of it, but WE CAN CONTROL WHAT WE ORIGINATE!
I am sure prospective business associates and prospective customers are also checking us out FIRST… ON LINE… before they open their minds, their hearts, and their wallets to us.
VIDEO sure is the #1 way to get into their minds and their hearts.
The last item should follow naturally – once we demonstrate our true professionalism and build credibility, through repetitive examples of our ability to be trusted.
Gotta run and see what Google is saying about “YourPCGuruJim”.
Hi Jim, you are so right. I know that I do a Google search when interested in doing business with someone or to research an item I want to purchase. You are also right that we can’t control what others might post about us but we can control what we post ourselves and how we present ourselves!
Amazingly useful information! Well presented. thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Alway good videos!
