LinkedIn Success Formula+ =

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”

- Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People

Know Your Value1The first step in building LinkedIn influence is

knowing what you’re good at, how you’re different, and who you are most uniquely

qualified to serve.

Dress for Success2Your LinkedIn profile is your professional

identity today by default. Many times it’s the first stop for someone to learn more about you.

Look your best! You only get one chance to make a first impression.

Build a Smart Network3

The smarter the network you build on LinkedIn, the smarter LinkedIn becomes about who to

connect you with. Make connections that can ultimately be mutually beneficial.

Give to Receive4Look for opportunities to build rapport,

promote, connect, and serve others. Show that you are aware and that you care. Only then will your network care

about what you have to share!

Go 1-to-15Identify you most valuable LinkedIn

connections (MVC’s) and court them. Learn what their needs and goals are and help them to achieve. Leverage LinkedIn messaging and

InMail to give, not to pitch or sell.

Be a LinkedIn Leader6

Publish and share content on LinkedIn that is relevant to your network members. Make your content interesting, appealing, and valuable in

order to establish yourself as a trusted thought leader in your industry.

Get ConsistentlyActive7
