What is a LinkedIn Lab? This is “get it done” time! We get on Zoom and work on our LinkedIn profiles. We can share ideas and give each other feedback. This is scheduled time in your calendar to get your LinkedIn profile updating and posting done, in a team environment!

Since the pandemic LinkedIn has seen record levels of engagement with an increase of 31% year over year. With 722 million members, that’s a lot of business connections!

Business owners are using LinkedIn as a virtual business card.

When attending online networking events and business meetings, using LinkedIn is an easy way to exchange professional contact info as well as build relationship. Is your profile updated with your current business offerings? Does it accurately reflect your personal brand? If you want people to contact you – one of the reasons we hand out business cards, right? – is your contact information available and correct?

More business opportunities.

One of the best ways to get more business is by getting in front of people, from networking events to knocking on doors, to popping into offices, to expos and conferences. Now that most prospecting opportunities are online, many small businesses are using LinkedIn to increase their outreach, make new contacts, and continue to get their business in front of their consumers (especially B2B). What LinkedIn strategy works best for you to get in front of your desired audience?
