5.0 out of 5 stars Get more leads...make more sales September 16, 2012
Format:Paperback
Like many others, my business has been slow to adopt social media as a viable business and marketing tool...and we have suffered because of it. The biggest problem is that we just didn't have a plan of action on how to put social media into place. LinkedIn for Business has been a valuable tool in not only getting my business up & running with LinedIn, but more importantly, getting my business up & running the RIGHT way. Without guidance, most companies use LinkedIn all wrong. They set up a profile and expect the leads to begin pouring in. Worse, they start spamming others seeking leads. This book not only shows you how to avoid those pitfalls, it shows you how to use LinkedIn to increase both the number and the quality of leads to your business and how to NETWORK properly in this day and age. If your business is not using LinkedIn, you are truly missing out on a golden opportunity. If you're looking to increase leads and improve your brand, I highly recommend this book for step-by-step guidance to getting your business up & running on LinkedIn the right way.
