The LinkedIn Messaging Roadmap
A group training program to help savvy service providers and personal brands leverage LinkedIn to capture profile views and leads.
LinkedIn Can Be Confusing
It’s a place to put my resume, right?
What’s the point of updating my profile?
I connected with someone, now what?
Isn’t LinkedIn just for recruiters and job seekers?
Should I post content to LinkedIn or my website?
What is the point of having a LinkedIn account?
It’s Not a Place to Post Your Resume
LinkedIn is still largely misunderstood. Sure, you can add your work experiences to the platform, however, savvy marketers and business owners know you can leverage the platform to find qualified leads and grow sales.
More Views
A profile view from the right person can lead to new business and/or job opportunities.
More Leads
LinkedIn drives four out of every five B2B leads that come from social media.*

More Sales
Having a focused profile and engagement strategy can bring qualified leads to you.
LinkedIn is a Networking Platform
Do you remember how you felt after you created your LinkedIn profile? My guess is you probably said to yourself, “OK. Now what?” If so, you’re not alone.
Linkedin is still viewed by many as Facebook for business people. It’s a place to post your resume, and to connect with current and past colleagues. Outside of that, people are left wondering, “what’s the point?”
I understand this sentiment, however, having spent the last few years working with LinkedIn experts, and writing profiles for companies and individuals, I have seen the results of a good LinkedIn strategy. The key is to use it as a networking platform to connect, engage, and build relationships.
When used correctly, you’ll be able to create a predictable pipeline of leads and prospects. I believe everyone should know how to leverage the benefits of the LinkedIn platform, which is why I developed the LinkedIn Messaging Roadmap.

What’s Your Investment?
When it comes to LinkedIn, many individuals and companies, fumble their way through, never really knowing how or even if their efforts will pay off. Rather than following a proven strategy, they default to the “pray and spray” method, essentially trying a lot of things out, hoping something will stick. Not only does this take a lot of time, but it can cost a lot of money as well.

Your Questions Answered
How long are the sessions?
Each session will last about an hour. I do keep my calendar open after the “official” end of the session to answer any questions or provide clarity on something from the training.
What happens if I can't make a session?
No problem at all. Every session will be recorded and you’ll have access to all of the videos and worksheets.
What time are the sessions?
The training session on Monday and the Q&A session on Friday are both held at 10 a.m. MST.
Why 45-days?
Great question. Two reasons.
First, the program is very comprehensive. We are not just covering how to optimize your profile, for example. We will cover everything you need to know about how to use LinkedIn the right way.
Second, I want you actually to implement stuff. Maybe like you, I’ve attended training programs, where you get so much information all at once, that implementation becomes overwhelming. By spreading the course out, you can rest assured that when finished, you’ll be rockin’ on LinkedIn (assuming you do the homework of course).
Why a private Facebook group?
I have a love, hate relationship with Facebook, but the truth is, FB does groups the right way.
The FB group will give us a place to communicate and collaborate outside of the training and Q&A sessions, which will help us all learn from each other. Also, by using FB you can ask me direct questions via Messenger.
I’d love to this with a LinkedIn group but currently, they are not nearly as robust.
Need a LinkedIn quick start?
There’s no doubt LinkedIn can be confusing. I used to use LinkedIn as a resume repository. However, after interviewing LinkedIn (LI) experts I found the secret to success on LinkedIn.
Savvy marketers and successful business people know the activities to use daily on LinkedIn to generate opportunities. This checklist was written to help you generate opportunities in as few as 30 minutes a day.
