WINNING At LinkedIn FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Discover how to write a winning LinkedIn profile and how to grow your network on LinkedIn.
All without being salesy.

ONLINE LinkedIn courses from expert copywriters

The opportunities on LinkedIn for lawyers, accountants and others in professional services are enormous. LinkedIn has 740 million members and 55 million businesses rubbing together on one professional platform. Members and their companies create a billion interactions every month. Even a tiny share of that is a flash flood of opportunity every day for consultants and advisors who know:

  • How to ride the current of business being done on LinkedIn
  • How to stand out as leaders in their areas of practice

The good news is that standing out isn't about pulling stunts, being flashy or coming across as salesy. The easy-to-follow recipe to winning at LinkedIn is about being noticed by the right people. The right people need what you offer, which means they’ll be glad to join your network.

And working LinkedIn doesn't have to mean finding spare hours every day. With the right framework to follow, you can grow your network cleverly and efficiently.

What would writing a winning LinkedIn profile mean for you?

Do you want to be more visible to clients in the industries you serve? Are you looking for more speaking engagements or invitations to participate in associations? Would it help if you attracted more quality applicants to join the firm?

Whatever the goal for you, your firm or your practice area, every connection you could ever need is on LinkedIn. And those connections are logged in right now. Of the platform's 740 million members, 130 million of them use LinkedIn every day.

To make your move, all you need to know is how to push yourself into this rushing current of opportunities. That won't take going "viral" or uncomfortably selling yourself. LinkedIn's true winners are professional, smart and consistent. They apply qualities you probably use every day already.

Our LinkedIn training courses cover the two most essential areas of growing your influence:

1. The cornerstone: Writing a winning LinkedIn profile

2. The magnet:  Writing winning LinkedIn posts

You can invest in each course individually or save when you invest in both courses.

ONLINE LinkedIn training 1: writing a winning LinkedIn profile

A good example of a LinkedIn profile

The cornerstone of your success is developing the skills to write a profile that conveys your value. When you convey your value, you’re guaranteed to stand out because so many members are stuck because of their dated thinking about writing resumes for recruiters. Meanwhile, you'll be thinking about shining as part of worldwide online business community.

LinkedIn is no longer an online filing cabinet that recruiters dip into for resumes to throw at jobs. LinkedIn is a vibrant digital network for businesspeople making connections, so you need a digital profile that conveys your value.
