LinkedIn is so much more than your online resume or CV. With 810 million individuals and 57 million companies, including key decision-makers, using the platform, there’s immense opportunity to gain new business, position yourself as a mover and shaker in the industry, and find new talent. Yet, most people miss out on these chances to enhance sales, recruiting, and marketing efforts — fewer than 1% of LinkedIn users create content.
So, how can you tap into this enormous opportunity for your startup?
During this interactive LinkedIn workshop organized by the Miro Startup Program, you will learn:
- Core stats and how the LinkedIn algorithm works
- How to set up the marketing, recruiting, and sales strategy on LinkedIn
- Advice for optimizing your personal profile to create trust and confidence — and common mistakes to avoid
- How to write impactful content that will create the desired impact with decision-makers
- Tips for finding the right contacts and learn best practices for reaching out to them
- How to utilize KOL strategy, which is a go-to in 2022
- Shaping a content strategy for your startup, so you’ll never run out of ideas on what to publish
