Here are the highlights of this episode:

Joe has shared with us that in their evergreen networking, they coach consultants, coaches, and entrepreneurs on how to use LinkedIn 15 minutes a day to create great conversations. If they are consultants or lawyers who needs usually needs more referrals or clients, then they are an ideal client for Joe’s team because they can help them on how to do that on LinkedIn.

There are thousands of things that someone can do on LinkedIn so if you walk there without a strategy, you will be totally lost. His team provides the framework, templates, cheats, scripts, and the system that can help someone generate on LinkedIn. Joe says they procrastinate if they don’t have preparation. If you’re afraid of doing the wrong thing, it’s because you don’t have enough preparation or training. As a result, fear stops you from taking action.

The mistake that Joe sees is when they start selling at a networking event, that is if they’re taking the wrong action. The other one is when they are being ‘reactive’, they’re perfecting their profile. But they need the right strategy to take the right actions and not selling. In addition, is also wasting their time on the feed; it’s not really a best place for you to generate revenue. Learn the things to do correctly in order for you to make an impact.

People wonder why they’re not getting ROI on LinkedIn, what do you need to measure on LinkedIn in order to be successful? One word: Conversations. Conversations lead to conversions. Measure how many conversations you had as a result of LinkedIn in the past 90 days. It will then indicate the next 90 days on how much revenue you’re going to generate.
