what are you views on Linkedin?

10 replies
Hi

I haven't used LinkedIn much as i seemed to get spammed with people trying to sell to me all the time.

As a networking/relationship starter does it hold any sway? Worth putting in some time/effort there?

Thank you

    Somebody I used to work with signed me up for LinkedIn. I haven't used it that much, and I only have a very small network, but I have read some useful discussions there. I don't get as much from it as I do from the WF, though.

    If you know what you're doing, it can be a high-income source of traffic. Huge, actually. As far as networking goes, you'll still do the best networking on forums and at conventions.

    Syssolution: I use software i designed to contact people that may need my services, i ask them if they are open to a call from me, if so i then give them a call it has the best closing rate for me 1-4 1-5 is normal. as the person always looks at my profile and sees what i do, before saying YES to a phone call so the ground work is done.

    It's a great B2B way of promoting along with building connections within your field. Other than that, it wouldn't be my main way of promoting my product.
