What is LinkedIn and how does it work?
What is LinkedIn and how does it work is a question being asked by an ever increasing number of business people.
In the UK, around a year ago there were 4,000,000 users, today there are over 7,000,000… a massive growth and one that means more and more people need to know how LinkedIn works as a social network to generate more business opportunities.
At Social Media Directors we have come up with 4 ways to help those looking for more information:
What is LinkedIn? is our hands on workshop aimed at those who like to be taught about new things in a classroom environment.
How to use LinkedIn for Business is our boardroom workshop held at hotels and other quality venues. The morning is spent showing you how to make the most of your profile and takes a look at how the various tools and services LinkedIn includes work. The afternoon looks at how to make the most of LinkedIn for business.
Increasingly, post our How to workshop, attendees are looking for specific 121 guidance in relation to their industry and how LinkedIn and other social media tools can be used for sales and marketing purposes.
Then we have our LinkedIn for Job Seekers workshop geared around community groups who help unemployed executives share experiences and stay motivated in their search for new roles. We don’t charge for this workshop, it’s our way of giving back.
Thank you for listening and I hope to see you at one of our LinkedIn workshops in the near future so we can show you what is LinkedIn and how it works.

Face to Face meetings are worth 1,000 emails
Today at Shed HQ I was pleased to welcome Tom Fuller, Business Director at Thames Valley LEP.
We had a very interesting and thought provoking meeting, discussing the new Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership and how we could get involved to help local businesses in Berkshire and the Thames Valley.
When we were wrapping up Tom said, “Face to face meetings are worth 1,000 emails!” and I had to write that down… brilliant.
If you are in business today then the best tool you have in your toolbox is YOU. So get out and press the flesh… not necessarily at some networking event, be selective… but definitely search out those you feel you could do business with, make the phone call and set up a face to face so you can establish who they are and if you can help each other.
And a great way to work out who you need to talk to is by searching LinkedIn where you will find over 7,000,000 UK business men and women… some may want what you’ve got… but How do you use LinkedIn for Business?
Let us show you the way, click above and then book via our www.whatislinkedin.co.uk website.
Thank you and thank you Tom for a chance to get to know you better.
