Build a Strong Foundation

Your LinkedIn Profile is the Key to LinkedIn Success

Build a Strong Foundation Create a Compelling Professional Headline


Create a Compelling Professional Headline


Use a Professional Headshot

Build a Strong Foundation Use Keywords in Your Profile Especially in

Your Summary

Get At Least 5 Recommendations •  LinkedIn requires at least five recommendations to

consider your profile “complete” • Because of compliance issues, financial advisors can’t

display your recommendations • Get five recommendations from friends or colleagues then

hide them from your profile

BE CONSISTENT

LinkedIn Profile Views

Website Traffic

What I learned • When I was fully focused during my daily LinkedIn visits,

the number of views of my profile increased, the number of Likes of my posts, and sharing of my content increased

• When I was just “doing my time” and not fully engaged, I had almost no engagement from others

•  I could generate more engagement with 10 minutes of focused time than during 30 minutes of unfocused time

• Saturday is the best day to share content and engage others in conversation

Have a plan •  Focus on interacting in no more than 2-3 groups at a time

so you don’t spread yourself too thin • Never self-promote in groups. Focus on helping others

and they will get to know, like and trust you which builds long-term relationships.

• Always send personalized invitations when you are reaching out to others

• Always send personalized emails to people you connect with and let them know why you appreciate them connecting with you

• Have fun!

THE POWER OF 80/20

Pareto Principle The Pareto principle states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Pareto developed the principle by observing that 20% of the pea pods in his garden contained 80% of the peas. Business-management consultant Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle and named it after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed in 1906 that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population

80/20 Basics 80/20 80% of the traffic travels on 20% of the roads

80/202 64% of the traffic travels on 4% of the roads

80/203

52% of the traffic travels on 0.8% of the roads
