Why buy a really expensive outift and leave it hanging in the wardrobe?

You look stunning in it. When you wear it, your confidence levels soar and you feel – and look – taller. You know the outifit I mean – that incredible dress you bought for your best friend’s wedding or that Armani suit you bought for THAT interview. 

So what has this got to do with LinkedIn?

The fact that you’ve spent time creating a LinkedIn profile is fantastic.  You’ve done the workshop, read the articles and devoted a fair chunk of time. 

✅    Banner: designed and on brand   
✅    Photo: up to date, smiling, looking to camera
✅    Headline: says what you do and who you help
✅    About section: expands on your headline, lists some achievements
✅    Skills: all 50 listed
✅    Previous experience: all in order

But don’t stop there!

This is the part where people often think “right that’s it, I’m done.  I’ll just leave that there and wait for people to swing by and offer me a job or a new contract.”

But they don’t. No one comes and your profile just sits there gathering dust. 

Why?

Because no one knows it’s there. Unless you’re proactive on LinkedIn, people won’t know about your amazing profile and they’ll never find out about you. All that work would have gone to waste.

If you’re regularly posting content and ‘engaging’ with others on LinkedIn, you will find that people really WILL start coming over to your profile and having a look. Just watch your LinkedIn connections grow as you start to build up your network. 

It starts slowly but it will happen. Before you know it, you will have a huge network of interesting people who are commenting on your posts and could soon become customers or employers.

Being on LinkedIn proactively and regularly is the most effective way to build up the audiences that you need to grow your business. So, don’t waste all that time you spent building your profile to just leave it hanging in the wardrobe – get it out for all to see!

Ditch the dull keynote speeches in favour of fun-filled, laughter-inducing groups and seminars that get the audience involved from the get-go.

I’m bubbly and vivacious by nature, which you’ll find out in my presentations. 

I strive to appeal to those across sectors and disciplines, whether it be to those in more traditional professional roles, such as senior executive management, or those who are solopreneurs, freelancers or working in creative industries.

I ended up leaving my day job behind and achieved a diploma in Social Media Marketing. I set up Sarah Clay Social to help businesses promote themselves on social media. While using various platforms to promote my business, one stood out – LinkedIn. I seemed to attract new clients without really trying. All without a cheesy sales pitch and just by being myself. 

I was astonished by the success I had with LinkedIn and couldn’t get over how handy my childhood techniques had been. I realised that all the tools I’d learnt as a child were immensely useful! Soon after, I realised that other business owners weren’t using LinkedIn to its fullest potential. 

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help business owners, just like you, harness the power of LinkedIn and be more successful in business.

Are you ready to leverage LinkedIn’s potential?
