The Surprising Benefits of Working With A LinkedIn Coach (LinkedIn Lesson 9)

The Surprising Benefits of Working With A LinkedIn Coach (LinkedIn Lesson 9)

LinkedIn Lesson 9 - Sometimes being fiercely independent as a business owner can mean we don't stop and ask for help from experts. Wasting time making mistakes on LinkedIn is a luxury small business owners can't afford. 

How LinkedIn Coaching can help your small business -
  • Cheerleader - there for your success on the good and the bad days,
  • Empathy - understanding that the LinkedIn journey is different for everyone,
  • Independent advice - an outsider's perspective can often uncover blind spots to growth,
  • Clarity and Peace of Mind - know with certainty you are on the right path,
  • Efficiency - get more out of LinkedIn in less time.

Each of Us is a Unique Piece of the LinkedIn Puzzle - Embrace your uniqueness to grow your business on LinkedIn. (Lesson 2)

LinkedIn Lesson 2 - I share what I learnt from jigsaw puzzling during COVID-19 lockdowns in Sydney. After going away with friends I realised that everyone goes about doing a jigsaw puzzle in their own unique way that plays to their strengths. The same can be said about LinkedIn.  However, for those of you that think they don't have anything to say that hasn't been said before, you need to listen in.  What is a Unique Selling Proposition and why do you need to know about it to grow your business? If you can't articulate yours clearly and distinguish your business from your competitors then it's time to invest in Good Trading Co training.  Growing your business on LinkedIn is more than just creating the perfect post and understanding LinkedIn algorithms. It's about mindset and human nature and getting the most out of the resources you have.
