A few weeks ago, I was asked to speak at the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce Expo. The subject was “LinkedIn for Business” and my role was to be the case study for how your build and grow your business using LinkedIn.
At the beginning of my presentation, I asked a question to the 60+ people in attendance. My question – How many people have their LinkedIn public profile name on their business card? The answer : ZERO. Everybody in the room was there to learn about how to use LinkedIn to generate leads, promote their business, etc., however, no one was really committed to using LinkedIn. Don’t you agree that if you were committed, you would have your name on your business card.
My LinkedIn public profile name is PaulSLavoie and yes, it has been on my card for almost 2 years…
