The document provides tips for getting more out of LinkedIn by establishing clear goals and understanding your target market. It recommends using LinkedIn like a trade show booth to distribute helpful knowledge rather than sales brochures. Specific suggestions include publishing content from a personal profile, creating showcase sub-pages for a company page, and having employees like, share, tag and promote the company page to help expand its reach. The overall message is that LinkedIn is not for direct sales but opportunities can arise when users provide valuable information to their network.

- There's more to LinkedIn than uploading your resume and waiting for something to happen.
- There are no magic shortcuts to building human relationships, which is what you're doing on LinkedIn.
- Don't lost sight of your overall marketing goals.
- Stop sign in Chickasaw.
- Know what you are trying to accomplish on LinkedIn!
- The social web has upended much of the traditional sales funnel. People are doing their own research ("self-qualifying") before they ever connect with you. Do you have enough information out there to help them decide to email or call you?
- There are a squillion social media platforms and tools. Stay focused.
- You can have more than one booth on the B2B trade show floor, too (Twitter, Facebook etc.) but for now we'll focus on LinkedIn.
- Two sides to a LinkedIn "booth" – they feed each other. Your presence on LinkedIn is an ecosystem.
- Elements of a strong profile: MUST have a photo Good headline – "What do I do?" Brand link should be to an active Company Page. Give people many ways to contact you. Don't miss SEO opportunities & anchor text in the links to your website, blog, etc. Your summary should be a quick, punchy, skimmable read, NOT your boring resume-speak.
- The power of LinkedIn is in the Groups.
- Quote from Kami Huyse – don't build a network and then never talk to it.
- My first post on the LinkedIn publishing platform. Went pretty well, but I haven't yet figured out how much time to give it or how to incorporate it into my business strategy. Lots of possibilities, though.
- Your brand storefront on LinkedIn, similar to Facebook Pages.
- Elements of a strong Company Page: Big images at top (can have more than 1) Product & Services tabs (now defunct as of 14 April 2014.) Customize your description. Those are all keywords and help in search. Regular updates (use photos & video in them)
- These replace Product and Services tabs.
- Microsoft LinkedIn Showcase Page as example.

- Your staff's personal networks are important for supporting your Company Page.
- Takes time to build a Company Page following (4-6 months.) Consider buying LinkedIn Sponsored posts to get more visibility. Warning: they're expensive.
