Raising your Online Professional Profile
through LinkedIn
“45% of decision makers and 48% of C-Suite executives are directly influenced by thought leadership when making a purchase decision.”
LinkedIn/Edelman Research, 2018
Online searches play a key part in how professional and financial services are now sourced. Your online presence can help you to position your firm and your professionals as ‘go to’ experts.
Clients expect professionals to:
- Provide timely, relevant thought leadership
- Communicate their expertise via their LinkedIn profile
These skills are not usually taught until several years post-qualification, creating a major hurdle in career and client relationship development.
This workshop is interactive so no time is wasted. Participants will be able to work on their LinkedIn profiles and activities ‘live’ during the session.
