Course Content

The session will give professionals of all levels, business owners, marketing assistants, self-employed professionals and business development teams the knowledge and tools to get started or improve their existing LinkedIn page.

Topics:

  • An introduction to LinkedIn and how it differs from other social media channels
  • Understanding the differences between Company pages, and personal profiles on LinkedIn
  • Some dos and don’ts for using social media to promote your company and personal brand
  • Practical tips and tricks for improving your pages, posting and sharing, growing followers
  • Staying on track and developing the right social media habits

Course Benefits

LinkedIn is the number one social media channel for B2B marketing and networking, with over 20 million UK users.

Using social media to promote your business can be an effective and low-cost marketing tool, and it is now common practice for employees to be asked to share business content on their personal social media channels.

Equally, it is more important than ever for professionals to develop their ‘personal brand’ on social media and use LinkedIn as a way to connect and network with colleagues. Being mindful of how you communicate and appear online is critical to present a professional image.

This course will help organisations and professionals harness LinkedIn to promote their business and personal profiles.

You will leave armed with a strategic understanding of LinkedIn, ideas to put into practice straight away and feeling more confident in their social media skills.

Testimonials

  • Good intro to LinkedIn and gave me some food for thought. I like Nichole's training approach, she is very flexible in dealing with the direction of travel of the attendee needs rather than simple sticking to the script.
