How to Use LinkedIn for Business

In 2010 we launched our first “How to Use LinkedIn for Business” workshop and it went down a treat. Over 50 people attended and we got some great feedback. In 2011 we polished these and took them to quality hotels around Berkshire and charged a fair price… so what does 2013 bring?

Although I enjoy running your social media review, finding out what your doing, what you are trying to achieve and offering advice and guidance around this, I am not the best trainer on the planet.

Lucky I do know who he is though ;) Ladies & gents, Mr Mark White is your man, he ran the workshops while I promoted them and essentially nothing has changed except the workshops are being run under Linked Training. Go find out when & where the next workshops are being held…

Thank you.

Comments from attendees for our previous LinkedIn workshops

Michel Delran
Event Director at The Business Growth Show
Thanks Jon for a very well run event. I loved the LinkedIn recommendations and the video blogging. I think the training was the right level which is challenging as it could be a bit geeky. I think there was something of value for everybody to take away. Well done. Definitely looking for the next one.

Thoroughly enjoyed it and will benefit from it as I develop deeper into LinkedIn.

Keith Steptoe

Yes I enjoyed the morning. Good venue, great cakes and, although I do use LinkedIn quite a bit, learnt a lot of good tips. Nice one!

Who is that Jon Davey bloke?

Celia Champion

Great event, thank you! Very useful tips came out of the presentation – so much more to do than just join LinkedIn! I am looking forward to implementing all the ideas

Marina Duskov
Passion test facilitator
Specific action that I applied – Did a little update on my profile. Also, the way you invite people to Link send them a small personal message. I am glad to say that both Mark and Celia did invited me to Link in with their small messages. The presentation was clear and inspiring enough for me and others to take small action steps.

Owner at Steve Catchick Associates
Useful information, very helpful, good venue (many thanks to Kinnarps) and put across in simple terms. I have updated my profile since, and taken on board the comments re adding small personal message when inviting someone to link with me. Thanks

Mark D Harris
Marketing coaching and consulting
Hi Jon, thanks very much for the LinkedIn morning, it was a helpful refresher to the power of the network. It also introduced me to some overlooked subtleties that can make a difference to your profile and connections. I’ve been more active on Linkedin, since the event than I have for the past couple of months, hence the delayed reply to this. Looking forward to the next one and thanks very much to all.

I thought it was excellent Jon and have changed my LI strategy as a result

Andrew Palmer
A clear voice that can be heard through the noise. The quality and content of the presentation was informative, educational and enlightening and we should all take notice. I spent the afternoon updating my profile and will continue to watch the Linkedin space with a view to fully exploiting all of its free tools.
Thanks to you Jon – 30 people now know the basics of Linkedin – lets hope they use it wisely.

    As an event registration company, Expo Systems staff need to be fully trained in the latest sales & marketing tools, so that we can impart our knowledge and best practice to our exhibition organiser clients. This advisory capacity give us a competitive edge on our rivals, whilst satisfying our commitment to staff training. We have worked with Jon Davey for over 7 years now and welcome his wise words – Jon introduced us to Mark White, an accomplished trainer, to get our staff up to speed on the new social media tools including LinkedIn, and delivered two days of excellent content. The audience had different expectations and exposure to social media, but all came away better equipped, enthused and brimming with ideas of how Expo and its clients could harness the undoubted power of social media. Hats off to you Jon and Mark.

    Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon everyday.
    It will always be useful to read through content from other writers and use
    a little something from their websites.
