Now, here’s today tip:
Have you used LI’s “Ask A Question” tool yet? Sure, it’s a great way to pull expertise from your network – but here’s a more clever usage: Use it to organize meet ups! When you’re heading to a city, send out the question, “Would anyone like to have a drink in Orange County? – I’ll be in town for a client meeting and would love to meet some of you in person!” You can also experiment with framing the meet-up around a discussion topic, and direct the question toward appropriate industry groups.
Hope you’ll check out the call today – it’s a great way to start leveraging the full power of the world’s #1 online professional networking tool.

I have found time spent on LinkedIn to have a much higher ROI for many firms than any other social media marketing tactic. But random staff-posting doesn't work. It requires a bit more structure. We use HootSuite bulk uploads and a team-contribution shared spreadsheet to make sure everyone is moving in the same direction.

Keith,
Thanks for this post and share via YouTube. I am on LinkedIn, however have not taken full advantage of all its features. This video is very useful and has provided me with the necessary tools to enhance my professional development/networking capabilities. It is important to stay consistent, be realistic, invest more time, and effort in building and maintaining valuable connections and opportunities.
