Seven reasons why people use Linkedin
CONSULTANT




1. Connect with prospects and raise
   awareness of experience and services
MARKETERS




2. Announce new product launches or new
   service offerings
SALESMAN




3. Research on prospects prior to
   connecting
JOB HUNTERS




4. Expand their connections as prospective
   future employers
5. Build awareness of their start-up and to
   feed the sales funnel
6. Reach out to new prospects and stay at
   the front of customers’ minds
BIG BUSINESS
                                SURVIVAL




7. Market positioning and raise awareness
   of new products and service offerings
Did you spot these key words?
And did you spot what’s missing?
Yep. Not a single mention of selling
How do I do this stuff then?
Clue
But before I give the solution …
The following are NOT discussions
and they will simply lead to:
• You being removed and blocked from
  Linkedin groups (if the group is well
  managed)
• The group withering and
  die (if badly managed)
  because members are
  fed up with all the ‘push’
  promotion. It’s like killing
  the golden goose.
This is selling and promoting
This is trying to increase traffic to
         your blog/website
This is just out and out spamming
 and disregarding all etiquette.
o
         networking


6 common mistakes
   and examples
Mistake 1: Giving consumption instead
           of nutritional content

INFORMATION is LOW VALUE because
it’s fast, free and flat.

INSIGHT is HIGH
VALUE. But many
people are fearful of
sharing.
EXAMPLE
Mistake 2: Treating the social network
           as a captive audience

    Stop focusing
       on self




 It’s not what’s in it for me
  But what’s in me for you
EXAMPLE
Mistake 3: Why should anyone listen to
           you?




            How are you going to grab
            and keep their attention?
EXAMPLE
Mistake 4: Making it difficult for people
           to buy you



Don’t’ use complex
words for comments
and discussions.
Not being who you
are (authenticity)

      http://xkcd.com/386/
EXAMPLE
Mistake 5: Not rewarding customer
           loyalty
EXAMPLE


This discussion attracted 1000+ comments
      but this guy never came back in
Mistake 6: Selling too soon (spam) and
           losing touch
                          SELF-DESTRUCT
                       BUTTON Use only if you
                       really don’t want to build
 It can take up to 7   meaningful relationships
   contacts before            on LinkedIn
   someone buys

 Don’t blow them
away with your first
   interaction

company profits come from; what …
Posting a link to
your blog may be
BUT
                    is

1. People get turned off.
2. They perceive it as a cheap stunt
   (spam) to drive traffic to your blog
   (irrespective of your genuine intention)
3. They don’t like to be taken away from
   the Linkedin site.
Don’t automatically hit
the       button
                    Spend a little time
to adapt your blog article into a
proper Linkedin discussion.
