  • Growing popularity of LinkedIn and how it can boost business connections and relationships.
  • Tips on how best to start a LinkedIn page including top headline mistakes to avoid; importance of up to date headshots; optimising your profileโ€™s โ€œAboutโ€ section; and adding both sales results and fun personal details.

  • New and different ways to attract the best possible attention.
  • Suggestions on how much time to spend on LinkedIn and favourite tools to decrease distractions and increase productivity.
